Excerpt: "The Gates of Hell crater was created in 1971 when a Soviet drilling rig accidentally punched into a massive underground natural gas cavern, causing the ground to collapse and the entire drilling rig to fall in. Having punctured a pocket of gas, poisonous fumes began leaking at an alarming rate.

To head off a potential environmental catastrophe, the Soviets set the hole alight, figuring it would stop burning within a few weeks."
You're conflating scientific knowledge and the practical arts. There is lots of scientific knowledge in Aristotle and the other authors I mentioned. e.g. Aristotle's physics. We would now consider it wrong, but those who rediscovered it didn't think so.

Even in the category of practical arts, though, you're mistaken. Check out the writings of Hero of Alexandria or Vitriuvius. Check out the waterwheels at Barbegal. Pick any major civil engineering project like the aqueducts, baths, roads, or arenas of ancient Rome. There is no equivalent until the cathedrals of the later middle ages.

That is a great stance. Democracy can be improved. And should. But seems like not everybody agrees on that, therefore it is a political issue.

If there is no democracy then autocrats decide who can copy what songs, if any, from the internet. What you can read on the internet. If there is an internet. But if there is democracy then people can decide all that by voting.

If there is no democracy there will be no Pirate Parties, unless for some reason that benefits the unelected people in power. Hey I'm glad that there is US Pirate Party now. But is there one also in China and Russia? Why not?

Lowering "effective" wealth inequality might help, and probably happens to some degree. Distract the rich and suck their money into pissing contests over status goods whose commerce does not infringe on the supply/demand of goods for people down the ladder. The problem comes when that wealth sets its eyes on acquiring or monopolizing assets and pushing up prices of real estate and rents, for example.

I grew up feeling it should be a sin to waste money on fancy cars or fancy vacations. I now think we need more abstract art, NFTs, and something real compelling and scarce in the metaverse to absorb all that money.

Andrew Ng (of Stanford, Coursera) is involved. It’s a service that measures your skills across a handful of areas, gives you an informative skill profile, shows you jobs that your skillset matches, and I think also matches you with some employers.

OK, so the OP says if smalltalk had worked with files better, maybe smalltalk on unix could have been a thing that would have changed history. Your response is... that's irrelevant because... smalltalk was really making the play to be the OS, not to work with OSs, and it works just fine with files on it's own terms, for that goal. Do I understand your argument correctly?

OK, it's a perspective!

I have always been fascinated by ideas that are heretical but also likely to be true. Unfortunately, like you say, they’re hard to find and therefore a lot of them I feel like I’ve “discovered” myself.

Any reference materials / history on car dealerships and how they’re part of the ecosystem?

When I was writing software for dealership stocking (19 years ago now), it was pretty clear to me that there’s no good reason dealerships exist, as states could also make laws that covered the manufacturer.

It made sense when manufacturers didn’t know how to scale out end consumer services, like marketing, financing, repair, etc. But now in the 2000s and 2020s, all the manufacturers have their own distribution and financing arm as well.

It turns out that people want to buy from manufacturers: “it’s a Ford dealership”, “it’s a Toyota dealership” as opposed to “it’s bfung’s cars”. The extra indirection and separation of legal entities actually make a worse user experience.

In addition, to be able to use the manufacturer’s brand, the dealerships new car pricing are all subject to the manufacturer, so no arbitrage opportunities can be made, except for getting suckers. The incentives of the dealership has skewed toward pushing services and used cars as that’s where they make money now.

I'd love if keyboards just had dedicated keys for this. It's used enough to warrant them (much more than other obscure functions like SysRq that do get their own key, or Apple's 19 function keys). I guess this is because I'm the DOS single task days there wasn't much of a need for copying and pasting.
Nah this was all over the news. I heard about it. Everyone I know heard about it, especially if they're into cars. See also Toyota's infamous sticky accelerator recall, or the Takata airbag recall.

The difference is that Tesla didn't have a near-perfect history of shipping reliable vehicles for decades before screwing up like this the way Toyota did. Tesla's reputation is slowly being formed by failures such as these. I already know several people who have elected to get a Mach-E instead of a Tesla because of concerns about quality. If they don't improve they're going to be seen (rather aptly) like the Lotus of electric cars in a few years: beautiful, powerful shitboxes that nobody wants to have to rely on as a daily driver.
You write as if there is only one voting scheme for in-person paper voting, and as if laypersons by and large trust the results of paper voting elections. Neither of these claims is true.

First of all, there is more than one in-person paper voting system, and some in-person paper voting systems involve cryptography.

Secondly, layperson DO NOT by and large trust the results of paper voting elections. You don't need to look further than the previous presidential election in the U.S., in which a significant portion of votes were cast on paper ballots, and a large portion of the population STILL does not trust that those votes were counted correctly. And if you look at developing countries handling their own paper ballot elections, you will find out that many of those elections are manipulated, and people do not trust the results.

That said, I agree with your general sentiment that adding electronic and cryptographic elements to a voting scheme will make that scheme generally "less understandable" to a layperson, such that they need to defer to "expert opinion" on whether that voting scheme can be trusted. However, it's not a binary thing like you make it out to be; people do not 100% trust your chosen paper voting scheme and 0% trust your chosen electronic voting scheme.

Anyway, I feel like "how do we get people to trust the results of the election more than they currently do" is a secondary problem. The main problem is how we can actually secure the results of the election while maintaining ballot secrecy. It's more important.
Well yes and no.

The app is not always stupid. I can't say I am fond of Uber and its business practices but in Vancouver at least the taxi apps are lacking some vital features Uber have -- despite Uber operating briefly in Vancouver in 2012 so it was clear they will be back and indeed in 2020 Uber/Lyft indeed started. Features include easy changing of pickup point which is quite important in the warren of one way streets where I live -- as I see where the car is approaching from, I can easily walk like 1-2 minutes to the next corner to save like five minutes (seriously) of driving around after pickup. Also it works with GPS coordinates -- when I meet with friends it's often at a beach on the weekend and public transit is a bit lacking so I prefer calling a cab/uber and it's practically impossible with cabs because those want a street address, even the app. And then there's the ability to safely communicate with the driver -- and this only needs wifi which makes airport pickups so much easier because I only need airport wifi. Taxi companies couldn't build these features in eight years. Pound sand.
This is why Toyota's Five Whys is so genius. Not only do you find out why there's an extra brake pad at the end of the shift, but you discover why you didn't catch it during the manufacturing process, and how it happened in the first place.
I wish I could source it, but I recall reading an anthropological study of drinking that mentioned that solo drinking is universally shunned across all cultures.

There's also something perverse about associating this with Zen given that abstaining from intoxicants is the fifth precept (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_precepts#Fifth_precept).

I would never say there is no insight that could be gleaned from this -- people are different, after all -- but I agree with the other comment that this justifies an unhealthy adaptive strategy. We have deeper and healthier modes of self-knowledge than this.

I should explained that I mostly shoot kids, birthdays and their sport and other events. Strictly on amateur level, but for this kind of occasions it's quite beneficial to take 300 shots since it all happens in the moment and you'll have a lot of misses to end up with 30 keepers.

Also, jpeg straight out of camera can be ok if you're controlling circumstances and have time to take test pictures and adjust parameters. And not change entire scene in a seconds. Once I went to RAW I could never come back. Now you don't have to worry about white balance or even exposure in the heat of moment. It allows you to really save a lot of these shots which would be lost in jpeg. Price you pay is staring in 300 raw images afterwards.

I must admit this affects my desire to use DSLR in the first place. I tend to use only if absolutely necessary.

>So what is it about the car that makes them so popular now?

Because the buying process is super simple and easy, you pick what you want, buy it, no haggling. They get it ready, you pick it up.

The cars are rated the safest on the road, have the fewest accidents per mile, practically no maintenance ever needing to be done, maybe change the brake pads every 5-10 years, battery will last 500k KM or more, autopilot is amazing, pre-warm up the car in a closed garage, and more.

I've never once had a problem in the past 3 years of owning it, it's just a joy to have and drive.

I even got an OTA update that tweaked the motors a bit and gave me faster acceleration and increased range compared to when I first picked it up, for free.

For various reasons, most Linux applications try not to use the Super (Windows) key for anything by default, which makes it a good candidate for use as a custom modifier key for whatever you want. For example, users of tiling window managers often use Super+... for interacting with their desktop (open a terminal, open a launcher, switch workspaces, swap windows, etc.).

There's nothing stopping you from deciding to use Super+c/v as copy/paste instead of Ctrl+c/v or Ctrl+Shift+c/v. Apple doesn't use Ctrl+c/v either... they use Command, so the conflict you're referring to doesn't exist there either.
> Any mirrorless system has limitations on low light and latency (of reading the light and then displaying it on a separate screen).

Surely there is more latency, but on the most recent mirrorless cameras like Canon R5 it's not noticiable.

Low light there is absolutely no contest: R5's viewfinder is totally usable in situations where you'd see nothing but black in a DSLR viewfinder. Sometimes after going out at night with the R5 in the woods I find myself looking through the viewfinder just to get a better view of the path ahead.

The electronic viewfinder also makes it reasonable to build full time high ratio lenses that would be too dark to comfortably use through a viewfinder much of the time. For example, https://files.catbox.moe/fgxew8.jpg this image is 1/60th of a second ISO 5000 on a fixed f/11 lens. It would have been annoyingly dark on a DSLR viewfinder (and DSLR autofocus wouldn't function on an F/11 lens.).
So the car company with the most hype attracts the most attention? I don't see what the issue is.
You need to keep track things somehow. And I can't think of a single piece of software or other elaborate method of project management that doesn't essentially boil down to "Thing X needs to get done"

I use todoist:

-About 60% are a bunch of ideas, a sort of wish list, that I occasionally read through to keep them in mind and in case something I thought of a while back is now much more relevant.

-At least 20% of what's on there are higher value projects I should work on when I have time.

-The last 20% are a regular stream of tasks coming in and out. When none of them are due "right now" then I work on something form the previous 20% (where values of "right now" are in the 2-3 days range and I'm absolutely certain that the soonest needed tasks will not take longer than that.

And then sometimes when I just need a break from normal work I will take a day or two & find something from the 60% to work on.

This also serves as a worklog so I can easily track what I've done-- especially useful for performance evaluations.

We heard similar comments about Me, Vista and 8.
This is really great. For those who aren't familiar with what these machines can do, the calculation of an athlete's Vo2 max really isn't all that useful. However, a breakdown of the fat and carbohydrate calories burned at various efforts can be incredibly useful for helping an athlete learn how to fuel correctly for performance over distance.

I'm not a physiologist or physician (and I'm sure what I'm about to say may be max cringe to the bonafide experts that are around), but my basic understanding is that when expending effort, you burn calories from fat stores and from glycogen stores. Glycogen stores store around 2000 calories, and expending one's glycogen stores results in hitting "the wall" - your body simply doesn't have any fuel to proceed. Your fat stores, on the other hand, provide access to tens of thousands of calories.

People are generally fat-inefficient - any effort immediately biases towards consumption of glycogen. And when you're out, that's it. Your day is done. So knowing the rate you're burning carbohydrate calories can inform an athlete how often and how much to fuel.

Some people are born "fat-efficient", meaning they can access their fat stores easier. Fat efficiency can also be improved through low-intensity endurance training with improved diet. So athletes will periodically do a VO2 test to stay in-tune with how their body is using the fuel sources available to it.

Many years ago I did an Ironman (Couer d'Alene) and a Vo2 test indicated I needed to aggressively consume calories (at the effort I was planning to ride) on the bike. After all, you have to get off the bike nutritionally prepared and hydrated to run a marathon. So that's what I did, and I had a good day considering I really wasn't all that fit.

Endurance and ultradistance events aren't really tests of toughness. They are science experiments. It's all about figuring out how to take one's fitness and stretch it over the distance of the event.

One additional note - there are machines much less expensive than 60k available, but they are still pretty expensive (in the thousands).
That json! macro does the right thing. What the Java feature does is give that exact capability to any library that can benefit from templates.

The entire point of my comment was that, surprising as it might seem to some, templating is now known to be a particularly dangerous area -- quite possibly the most sensitive aspect of language and API design after buffer overflows -- and that's why templating features require a security review.

If Rust's designers' answer is that their security analysis has led them to the conclusion that the right stance against code injection is for template APIs to role their own templating macros from scratch rather than use a higher-level templating mechanism -- then they're doing what I suggested, and macros are their mechanism that corresponds to Java's pluggable templating design. If they did not consult with security experts on their string formatting feature, I suggest they do so. Perhaps all that's needed for Rust is to include components in the standard library that would help library authors write correct and secure templating macros.
I think MacOS got something right by using its Command key for "desktop-wide" shortcuts that aren't specific to one application, (kind of) leaving Ctrl and Alt for applications.

I generally try to follow this pattern when possible.

But I really do wish that it was easier to get a consistent look and feel on Linux, including key bindings.
