A modern car has features that the 4Runner does not which may be more reliant on connectivity, but the 4Runner doesn’t offer those things so I don’t get it. Without updates the newer car just becomes out of date like the 4Runner.
That's not how TLS / PEAP works. It's asymmetric cryptography initially (to agree a symmetric key). That's why it's important the client verifies it does not talk to a rogue server.
Endless Legend is amazing as well as all the other games from Amplitude. They just released Humankind which is a Civ style game but instead of playing a single civilization the whole game your empire evolves with traits from societies of each era as you play through history.
Not just Django and startups, that looks like a good guide on architecture overall!
I thought the usual deal about the debit cards and rental has been that one can pay with the debit card on returning the car, but needs a credit card in own name for renting the car.

Still, the credit card may be needed in case of unpaid tolls/ parking tickets, which may get posted after a few weeks.

Btw, quite commonly in the US the debit cards have a Visa (MC) logo, so may be charged as such without the need for PIN. Only cash withdrawal will require a PIN. But I guess the card number identifies these as debit cards nevertheless.
We've made significant advancements in catalytic converters over the last decade and many waste management centers are able to incinerate much of the trash without the toxic emissions. They can then use magnets and eddy current separators to extract nearly all the metals out of the resulting ash.
The first thing to abandon is certainly vax card verifications. I know a handful of anti-vax folks and without fail every single one has printed out a fake vax cards on their home printer and gotten past any and all vax verifiers they encounter. It’s security theater at its most extreme, akin to requiring all websites to display a “your payment is processed securely” message on their payment page.

Consider: if you have some deep set anti-science/anti-government beliefs, and the government says you can’t go into any restaurants unless you submit some science card to them, do you abandon your deep set fears and have yourself injected, or do you search up “print vaccine card” and hit Cmd+P?
I mostly agree with your point but how does living with roommates become awkward?
This is why we need blockchain-based smart contracts and NFTs to enforce digital ownership rights. The political system is far too unreliable and corruptible to depend on for robust private property rights. If the nation-states can just maintain a free and open internet, decentralized opt-in protocols can do the rest.
Well, sadly if something is legal then they can actually do that thing. I don’t like it myself, but that’s unfortunately how it works.
Some tests do that but then you end up with a limited list of phones where the camera has been qualified. Better to go all the way to an eye-readable test.

They could have done what Apple did with Telegram and only allow the iOS app to access SFW groups (or at least not known NSFW groups), while Android users have all the fun.
My uncle keeps playing the lotto 6/49 because he hears about people winning all the time. He has a hard time grasping how large, a large number is. So one time I found a site, where he could punch in any numbers to check if they ever won before in the decades proceeding. He sat there for an hour checking, getting more and more frustrated, and he couldn't do it.

Odds of winning are approximately 1 in 14 million.

Population of Belgium 12 million.

Strongest man in Belgium one in 12 million.

It would take you about half a year to count up to 12 million.

And even than, the strongest man was probably a very large man who abused steroids. At that size, size is probably inversely related to life expectancy.

So I wouldn't make too much of the apparent risk, based on that one individual.
I’m aware.

Security is only one reason to rewrite utilities in another language. In particular for these foundational utilities, it means more of your dependency tree can be reproducibly built without the help of specialist package maintainers. Other reasons also include “fun” and “learning”.
One of the amazing things is that as transistors get smaller, they get faster, use less power, are more reliable, and cheaper per transistor.

>> they have small monopolies that aren't as subject to market forces.

> But they are; you yourself give an illustration:

I didn't say they aren't subject to market forces at all. I said they aren't as subject to market forces. They are insulated to some extent by the monopolies created for them my copyright. That's precisely why I gave my example - as something that I (and some others) do but which is almost entirely ineffective.

It's not a free market. Copyright and other IP protections specifically mean the goods are not fungible for the reason I explained.
I got my EE/CE degree a couple of decades ago. Although I worked as a programmer, it has been my CE degree + knowledge that has made it possible for me to get into other areas of engineering, e.g. network, embedded system, instrumentation, control, telemetry, telecommunications.

Unless you are working at chip level architectural design, the core principles haven't changed much and until we all have quantum computing based smartphones or some other comparable esoteric technology the core electronics and computer engineering principles will continue to hold relevance.
Ubisoft claims accounts with games on it will never be up for deletion. I could see this being a bug, but could also just simply be that... the person is confused and that specific account didn't actually have a game on it? Could it be a different account maybe? That seems a more likely and simple explanation to me, and this right now just comes down to a he said / she said.

Obviously it's not great that the ToS has wording protecting Ubisoft's ass against such mistake, but again, everyone here is just taking the word of this one person as gospel, but I don't really see any solid evidence provided.
Elegant, I would say so myself. Does the underscore represent the list?
Web3 has certainly brought about a renaissance in craven astroturfing spam.
> But it’s misuse shouldn’t change the meaning of its intent.

The use is the intent. And it's used as a weapon.

Notice when it's used, and when it isn't. (You'd never say it to a black or brown person. Did I have "privilege" when I lived in a labor camp?)

> At least I hope it doesn’t, because I believe there is still value in empathy.

There is value in empathy, but "check your privilege" isn't empathy.

You know nothing about my "privilege". You have no basis for telling me to "check my privilege" and saying that only proves that you not only have no empathy for me, you have no interest in me except to accomplish your political goals.
Do you think the first sale doctrine makes the book market more inefficient? Because that's along the lines of what people want for digital goods.

It’s not a binary thing. One virus enters a cell and it makes thousands of copies to spread in the body. Each of those get attacked by the antibodies and T cells pre-generated from the vaccine. No vax or no prior infection and the body is learning while also getting ravaged by the virus.

And as for immunity from infection, your body makes antibodies for the prefusion spike (the free floating form that infects cells), the post fusion spike (after it binds to ACE2), and the nucleocapsid. Since prefusion spikes are what bind to cells for entry, you’d want your immune system focused entirely on attacking that vector. China’s sinovac vaccine generates nucleocapsid antibodies and it’s failing in the face of omicron.
I call them stupid, but mostly because they act like they are stupid. My impression is that Apple's policies basically force them to be like that–they're worked hard, with little time given on each app, and probably graded on some sort of scale that incentivizes finding problems in apps. And, I mean, not everyone is an expert in the App Store Review Guidelines–it's actually fairly long, there's a lot of case law you need to take into account, and a bunch of unwritten policies that only get attention when your app happens to hit it and you know what is going on.

What Apple really needs to do is basically tell all their reviewers to stop flagging apps on this. It just causes general discontent everywhere: it's an obvious annoyance to developers hit by it, and the ones that know how to fight it will drag it on with you and hate you the entire time, and the ones that don't will change their apps and also hate you the entire time. I think–and this is just a guess–that they don't do this because they just don't want to have this content at all, not for any sort of prudishness, but because of the exact same reason everyone else shuns it: it's frequently a source of problems, they get into trouble with it when the news covers it in a bad light, etc. They like having blanket authority in this area, and think that whatever problems they're causing (which they are absolutely aware of, by the way) are just not a big deal, just like they are holding on to their 30% or whatever.

Of course, whatever reasons they have mean very little when the net effect is that this "problematic" content gets hounded off of the platform. You can say you don't hate this all you want, but when the actions you take have an effect in a certain direction and you don't do anything about it even when presented evidence about it, you're basically just accepting that you don't value it very much. And, frankly, that's just total garbage, because Apple wants to control all distribution on iOS, which means they have a moral obligation to deal with all of these issues. You don't get to wipe your hands clean of things you don't like and also say you want to be the sole arbiter for everything. But that's just a familiar big tech thing ;)
No argument but I feel like that’s an orthogonal topic to “is it moral for me to pirate a game that I purchased a legal copy of?”

I’m well aware that I’m legally allowed to do legal things, but “laws” have a lot of politics and emotion involved in their creation, and I don’t feel like they’re a great place to determine the “morality” of something.
Did you also implement object pooling for the Java variant (commonly used in high perf apps)?

Something tells me that didnt happen because you saw "cpp running circles around Java" so you got the result you wanted and just stopped there.

If you did, you wouldn't be making this comment.
When you're big enough, there's a chance that the boss's boss at Apple uses your app and will come talk to you and save you from The Process.

Also, if everyone uses your app, when it breaks then people will not necessarily complain to you, but to Apple instead since people can't tell the difference between the phone and the app, so to avoid the idea that your phone breaks, Apple will let you update your app instantly.

> My argument has always been and still is...a language x written in language y cannot by definition be faster than language y.

While this may be true in theory, in practice it is often not true as usually there are time constraints.

Working in a low level language Y can take much more time & effort than a high level language X. This can mean you can profile and iterate the program design to improve performance much faster in X than in Y. Worse, if you have optimized a program in Y following algorithm A, it would be much harder to switch to optimizing following algorithm B. Because almost always "optimization" makes program logic more complex and removes clarity. Some time so much so that you may not even try an alternative! Such increased complexity can also happen in an HLL program but a modular program can often be rewritten more easily.
Norvig's approach of converting thoughts into a program is what you need to focus on. It is trivial to convert a list comprehension into a loop.

In "When is Cheryl's birthday?" [1], the way he converts the problem into functional units is insane. A couple of list comprehensions shouldn't scare you. Look above and beyond the details.

Back it up with some evidence
I'm guessing he didn't reserve it and just showed up as a walk-in. I could see someone new to renting cars doing that, but it's a good way to pay a premium for urgency and suffer luck of the draw. Anyone experienced should know better as online reservations lock in the price, often at a discount, and guarantee the vehicle size or larger without paying more for the larger vehicle.
The reason is of course money. The profit per user on the Apple garden is light years beyond any other platform. I've seen the exact same app make 100 times as much money on iOS than on Android with half as many users.
DDG is my default on my devices, but at this point I've just defaulted to !g-ing every search query just because of how often DDG is not up to the mark.

I like the convenience of those Google quick answer box excerpts. And DDG is TERRIBLE for anything remotely regional, and I don't expect it to be fixed anytime in the next decade because I currently live in what's technically a third-world country, so I doubt they'll allocate any resources towards fixing it.

Essentially at this point I only use DDG for the bangs. !g for web search, and others for everything else.

Yes, Google search results have been getting worse. But in my experience, they're still better than anything else out there.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

> government intervention, which is what many people in this thread are calling for, does not make market inefficiencies better; it makes them worse.

I agree in general. Remember, though, that copyright is government intervention too. Are you in favor of getting rid of that? That would solve this whole problem too, since just downloading a new copy without paying would then be perfectly okay.
This is such a wild line of reasoning. How much of people's purchasing decision is driven by "has porn" vs. "does not have porn" according to you?

Do you have any data supporting that claim?

This is a red herring that makes "us" the subject instead of Apple.
>Why is there even a counter?

Yes! It makes no frickin' sense in an age of internet booking, and this is why I, too, use Hertz Gold. As much as Hertz was raked over the coals in that recent Twitter post (seemingly justifiably), I have generally have pretty good experiences with them and hope to never again stand around at a counter having a moronic experience instructing somebody else to re-type all the information I've already typed in when I made the reservation in the first place.

The complexity isn’t new, it’s just moved from manually managing dependencies or reinventing wheels into more fruitful, higher level applications. Of course, some of these are frivolous, but probably no worse than spending one’s complexity budget wading through dependency hell.

I had a look at a couple of the Java benchmarks you've linked to and they are horribly written, completely disregarding stuff like OSR, forgetting about the warm up and ridden with absolutely unnecessary allocations.

Either someone did this on purpose or they have no idea how to write efficient Java code and benchmark it.
That feels fishy somehow... how exactly are they paying for the advertisement? DDG is free to use, which usually means customers (their data) are the product. Is there an in-depth analysis somewhere of what exactly is their business model (where is the money coming from)?
In FOSS, the conditions and possible termination are usually centered around redistribution. You can do whatever you want on your own computer, with no restrictions placed upon you, and those restrictions are the "unfair" part of licensing.

It's all about pretty short term returns of course.

You can build a web interface separately (external contract ofc) and that will work in parallell, but aside from very basic services there are tons of edge cases, bad documentation, business customers with systems built with yours as a dependency. It's a little like any bank old enough still having paper file storage and the planned end of life is the literal death of all paper holding customers.

So the old system sticks around and as long as it does noone wants to buy a new set of computers to run in parallell with the old ones.

There are companies who try hard and end up sinking hundreds of millions of dollars into replacing old systems that only cost a server blade, ten devs and five people in operations to run.

With no clear benefit visible to the shareholders far from all of them have even started that move.
Memory safety? Garbage collection? Library ecosystem?
By this logic we should surrender our arms and legs as well, and really just die.

I remember when Hammer of the Gods came out, at the time it wasn't obscure, but it's definitely forgotten today as it didn't spawn a franchise. I didn't buy the game, but it was a nice addition to King's Bounty. HOMM1 was where I bought into New World Computing's masterpieces. I'm shocked to see a discussion, anywhere, on the web today on these games. They've all remained special to me all these years later, and I'm shocked at seeing a mention of a title like Hammer of the Gods.
For my part I won't characterize your statements. However, I hope you never have a racist dining experience. It isn't pleasant, but it is still out there. I'd rather avoid such establishments and let racists pay a premium for those experiences.

>...drive away white customers

Yet today more customers would be outraged by segregation. Society evolved for the better. Even in the 60s in places where it was arguably the social norm, many whites found segregation objectionable. Would you be willing to make that sweeping generalization along lines of race?

As for the KKK, this is an entirely different incentive of violence, which was frequently involved with local law enforcement. Segregation was mandated and enforced by the state under Jim Crow laws.

>...economic disadvantage from discrimination is falsified...

>They segregated because of social pressure

By backpedaling to this position, you abandon your initial assertion. Notably, you didn't answer the question of whether not serving black customers had a negative economic impact.

Race baiting libertarians with generalizations or Ron Paul specifically requires a narrow reading of history. It ignores the broader context to score a partisan point. Deliberately exploiting racial divisions to make the authoritarian case is beyond polite description.

https://www.aei.org/articles/exploitation-in-the-jim-crow-so...

>Most Americans believe that the economic oppression of blacks in the Jim Crow South was the natural result of white racism. According to this view, southern whites were so economically dominant that—given their views on race—the regime of segregation and job discrimination that prevailed in the South was the inevitable result. Indeed, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 can be said to reflect this idea in its prohibition against discrimination by private citizens. But many scholars of the Jim Crow era, impressed by mounting evidence that state and local governments played a crucial role in shoring up the edifice of discrimination, now question this view.
