Electric cars still produce greenhouse gases since our grid is not 100% renewable yet. Brake dust and asphalt also contribute to local air pollution.

I have already noticed in my own household that an electric car has reduced bicycle usage because it's perceived as less polluting than an ICE car, so for certain borderline trips where we might have previously opted for bicycles we opt for the e car.
While this is very nearly true despite my disagreement with the framing, there is an important distinction between offensive graphical content, like porn or violence, and offensive intellectual content, like racism or sexism. That is what changed - they previously attempted to make sure you were not exposed to imagery they didn't like, now they attempt to make sure you're not exposed to ideas they don't like.
Or just overwrite the variables when you're done with them. Hell, you can wipe out the entirety of your __environ when you're done and it won't show up in /proc anymore. Sure, in docker world you can still see them with docker inspect but if someone has that level of access you're done anyway.

Environment variables are no ones favorite method of associating data with processes, but they're everyone's favorite.

The kernel keyring and secret files are "better" but they have an impedance mismatch which is that they're user/uid oriented rather than process oriented.

Here's an example in C. I'm a terrible C programmer but you get the picture. If you run this and then `ps eww` on the process it will be empty.

int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) {
while (*envp) {
printf("%s", *envp);
int len = strlen(*envp);
memset(*envp, 0, len);
*envp++;
}

while (1) {
sleep(10);

Some of the best rated games this year (2021) including Sony exclusive this year were from Microsoft / Xbox.
These systems are a bit of both though. In compositing, unless you add a final "view" node, IIRC, node computations are not triggered.
I was very happy until I saw that they're not street-legal.
An interesting question (to me) is how legalization of gambling happened politically? For a long time, there was a strong political consenses against it. Where is the religious right, for example?
The problem is hardware people can't write software, nor can they put in decent hardware so the software is fast. Nor make it secure.

That's why people buy Teslas, they're a software company that makes hardware on the side. And participates in hacker challenges, offering cars to the winners.

No one actually wants cars with no computers, they just think they do because they don't realise how much computers do, like reduce the amount of wires by 10x, and output error messages on the level of a crappy microcontroller instead of maybe a flashing light if you're lucky
That's why I love my 2019 Mazda3. Modern enough, but not bloated.

That article may be wrong. According to clinicaltrials.gov, they were still recruiting for the HIV trial and the target completion date is April 11, 2023.

I think you can visualize tech debt by recording a chart where the indicator "debt" is $cost = ($num_tech_debt * $instance). $num_tech_debt is the number of different pieces of technical debt, and instance is a number incremented each time technical debt affects you. For every "instance" of technical debt affecting something, the cost goes up. If you aren't addressing tech debt, the chart will just go up and up and up. The only way to make it go down is to eliminate the number of technical debt things, which will reduce the cost equation (unless some other technical debt's instances go up). I suck at math, so maybe somebody else has a better way to represent that?

The harm we are reducing is decreasing the amount of drug users, and the attendant crime and degradation that comes with them, within the environment that non-drug users have to live in.

We'd be reducing the harm to them and in a subjective way, to the overall community. That some people's "harm" will increase is obvious but this is a price many are willing to pay to achieve a better society for themselves.

In summary, "we will hang you" isn't "harm" but justice, and the solution to the "harm" that needs to be decreased.

> it doesn't seem to stop them

Sure it does, it decreases overall drug use, where it is harsh enough.

>that didn't stop most people from trying it.

Did it decrease overall drug use vs when these laws were relaxed? Yes. Mostly though the penalty for drug dealers needs to be harsher. Additionally, there is a hierarchy of drugs, and in US the biggest problem is hard drugs / opiates. We should focus enforcement and punishment efforts at those, while also not enabling the addiction of users.
Yeah I pay the same. Sure I hate Google and yada yada... But if the call for money is "we will show you no ads, and your money will go to creators", and it is a realistic amount, yes I will pay it.

I run ad-blockers everywhere (and I know there are ways to block YT ads), but will still pay if you give me this reasonable option.
Maybe, maybe not? Mrna vaccines are very customizable so they could be specifically engineered to avoid known safety issues for example.
It'd be interesting to see a breakdown of their add revenue and what portion come from these top level ad results.

My guess is it's a majority of their revenue.

It's such a slimy practice.
Rare was acquired in 2002 and their list of games since doesn't look like shovelware to me [1]. Yeah, there's some misses, but there's also some great games in there. The worst ones are the ones tied to Kinect and MS has abandoned that venture.

Also, MS acquisitions from the last 5 years have released standout games: Psychonauts 2 and Forza Horizon 5 are two that I played and loved and are certainly not "shovelware"

The 2nd last FAQ explicitly states something different:

--

Q. Bungie has future games in development, will they now become PlayStation exclusives?

No. We want the worlds we are creating to extend to anywhere people play games. We will continue to be self-published, creatively independent, and we will continue to drive one, unified Bungie community.

Although I certainly won't take a wager on that still being true in 3-4 years.

I wish there were a tool that could just record everything - text, web history, clicked links, video chat, messages, etc. and just index it.

Are you saying the volume of gambling hasn't and won't increase? My impression is quite the opposite, but I could be wrong.

I don't think it's inevitable at all. We could make it illegal again; it was that way for a long time, until very recently, and the change was due not to politics but a court decision.
That is the most ridiculous reason to label something as nationalistic that I think I have ever heard. Thanks Dang, I have a much better idea of what is and isn't acceptable after this conversation. I'll be sure to avoid posting snarky one liners about other nationalist topics in the future, like Apple Pie.
Sure, but the two are not neatly separated.

It’s a non-sequitur to lead from the cause of the case to the decision handed down. The Court always has the ability to moderate its opinions. One can simultaneously believe that a documentary should be able to be distributed within range of an election and also that money is not a form of speech, or that corporations do not have the same speech rights as people.
It’s more about challenging hipocricy. The OP boldly claimed that Joe and his guests were spewing misinformation. OP provided no evidence for their claims, nor did they provide specific criticisms. Instead they spread FUD and misinformation of their own.

Really? exactly 3-5% disagree with the majority?

OP made bold and uncited claims amounting to disinformation and I called them out asking for them to back their claims or back down.
I once was a team lead for an team of outsourced software developers. It was the worst part of my career. The whole outsourced team was awful. Wholly incompetent.

I had the responsibility of delivering a product, but I didn't have the authority to fire these folks who were a net negative on the project. I would have been happier with implementing the whole project myself, which I mostly did.

I too was unmotivated, but the stress of being responsible was unbearable.

Perhaps some people disagree that "most organizations" give responsibility without authority, but I've seen it happen a several times in my career.
Yeah, boring technology requires boring owners to ensure that stuff like Python 3 wont happen.
That helps me understand. Thank you!
My first job out of college was at a J2ME mobile startup (circa ~2005). Startup was the baby of a rich Arab, and I was the first actual technical hire in the team (the prototype was outsourced). I hired 3 engineers within the first month. A couple weeks into the project, I realised that one of the juniors was a bozo at programming and I had made a severe hiring mistake. The guy spent time re-writing Java classes as objects, making superfluous inheritance hierarchies, installing and re-installed the J2ME emulator, etc. I would have to fire the guy soon and explain it to my Arab boss ...

Fortunately, new hire was sending sexually explicit SMSes to the cute Filipino receptionist. Arab boss threw him out the next day.
The way I understand is that that design and manufacturing is the smaller share of the lead time for mRNA and non-mRNA. The pre-clinic and clinic trials along with any regulatory delay take most of the time. Still mRNA vaccines are better and cheaper than conventional vaccines after CAPEX is done. Both Moderna and Pfizer have trials running for Omicron.
Can anyone explain why such systems are so seemingly successful? I find it surprising. It seems great to create vendor lock-in, but they also change the form factor frequently enough that you have to replace your entire system in order to benefit from it being a system anyway; at which point you might change vendors. It feels like the first vendor that stops changing form factor wins; but they all still keep changing them.

My best guess is that by doing this they can raise margins on some items by making them lower quality or by charging more than they could otherwise get away with. If a brand has a great tool X, you might buy their lousy tool Y just to be able to use the same chargers and batteries.

For me, anyway, as a non-carpenter, I just end up with an annoying bespoke set of chargers and batteries.
Regulation will take time to catch up. We manage to create and approve a flu vaccine every year, and that's likely because the general process has been approved, and so each iteration is fast tracked. I don't think that's the case with mRNA vaccines yet.
Found it amusing reading this thread, thinking of gambling companies paying their lawyers to argue that gambling is "skilled based". Then, after gambling is legalized, they'd ban all of the skilled players so we'd go back to "luck based" gambling that their lawyers just argued was skilled based.
I would bet that most Google and Facebook employees use adblockers.

I'm pretty sure understanding the biology behind it all can help make predictions about the outcome in the same way that you know that merging a pull request isn't going to bring the entire internet down. I mean, it could. But there's no known mechanism that will trigger such an event.

When I added a modern stereo with Android Auto/CarPlay to my 2003 vehicle, I found that many modern car stereos are designed to never be turned off. There was no off switch. So, if you start the car to let it warm while you shovel the driveway, you couldn't listen to your phone with bluetooth headphones, as it would connect to the car stereo, that you couldn't turn off with the car running.

I fixed it by wiring a simple toggle switch into the the power line for the stereo and mounting it in the dash. Problem fixed. "Off" shuts off the stereo instantly.

You might be able to read up on your model/package and do this, or consult a car stereo installation shop to do this.

Gaming will eventually be where if you want to play a game, you just plug into a remote computer system pre-built for it, and the only games that will still be installed on consumer devices will be those which need extremely low latency like shooters and fighting games.

>She wore a hijab and the company had just hired its first “diversity officer” so maybe that’s why

At what point does forced diversity hiring become a perverse incentive, with regards to needing to run a company with qualified individuals regardless of affiliation? (This may be a cynical question, but I'm not trolling. I'm aware that there are tangible benefits to more diversity. What I'm wondering if there's some calculus here at work, such as "try to be diverse unless the diversity results in more than 10% loss of <some metric> because at that point it costs more than the 5% (or whatever) benefit in <some other metric> that diversity provides us")
Having bad code is not technical debt, I've seen it used that way but it's wrong, since there was no debt accrued, you just wasted all your money in Vegas. It was a bad decision but not "debt". The analogy doesn't work in that case.

Bad code is something that happens, even to good devs. Sometimes you just don't have a clear picture of the problem and cobble something together to try and learn how to approach it. That code will be bad, but it was useful for its purpose.

It only becomes debt when faced with the results of your past mistakes you choose short term gains over long term profit, i.e. you know the code is shit but you keep building on it instead of dedicating time to refactor things because you need a feature yesterday instead of tomorrow.

Often this last decision comes from management, not the engineer that figure out things aren't going well.

Most of those home generators that run on natural gas have to be serviced extremely frequently. My grandmother has one for her house that was built 2 years ago and the service interval is something like every 100 hours. If she could bridge the frequent 2-4 hour power outages with a battery or truck instead of having the generator kick on every time, she'd be getting some serious convenience out of it.

When I used to live out in the sticks, I lost power at least once a week, maybe more. Usually for less than an hour, but sometimes for half the day. I'd wager over the course of the year I didn't have power for maybe 300-400 hours of it.
It may be normal, but it’s still poor engineering practice.
My mom's Subaru has all the heating and seat heating controls on the touch screen. It's a 2022 model, so either it's changed to that, or it's part of a certain package. Also, it's one of the worst touch screen systems I have ever seen.
Wouldn't that essentially be a system that tracked the entirety of your digital life in a sort of timeline, with metadata attached, making it easily accessible and searchable? I have thought a lot about this and curiously, it's also what many science fiction depictions of computer systems seem to aim for - a single, integrated, computing experience, across all devices and tools.
Name a famous footballer that cannot play.

The comparisons to the Kardashians is quite a stretch.
I don't even understand how that happens. At one point I was a consulting pimp for my dad, and multiple parts of the contract required me to attest that he would be doing the work and if he had help he would be doing the majority of the work and if his time on the contract dropped below 50% of the total the contract would be cancelled and there would be penalties.

There was no way I could have switched him with someone else without paying penalties.
why not? Because some people would choose not to buy the car if they had to drive it at the speed limit across the empty expanses that make up their favorite road trip, or through areas where the limit is lower than it "ought" to be. I think speed limits are set based on safety concerns more than environmental ones, and in that sense self driving cars should probably be allowed more speed not less.

I claim without evidence that the greater contributor to inefficient fuel use is needlessly abrupt acceleration and deceleration, rather than top speed, and hopefully self driving cars do help with that.
UE blueprints make the game engine api discoverable. Doing low level code in bps sucks. But stringing together engine calls feels good.

I think of pricing as a probability distribution, and while it's possible that prices continue to increase, in my view the downside risk on house prices predominates. Here are a few possibilities:

1. high interest leads to an increase in rates, significantly increasing payments and making current prices less affordable.

2. A recession drops wages

3. Stock prices drop precipitously, devaluing a lot of paper money in some markets (e.g., RSUs)

4. Previous 'hot-markets' have their use-value decrease substantially due to greater availability of remote work

5. In concert with a rate increase, if house prices look to be dropping housing as an investment vehicle may become unappealing, causing a flight and a downward spiral

All of this has to be balanced with the risk of holding onto cash or putting the money into other vehicles. Inflation is eating at the cash pretty aggressively right now and many other more liquid investments suffer similar risks as housing, but you don't get to live in your stock portfolio. If inflation doesn't get reigned in, housing may hold its nominal value or even increase and there's probably a sizable contingent of policy makers that would rather inflate than suffer significant nominal housing value decreases. For me, I'm basically watching what happens with inflation and how policy makers look to be acting. I'm holding a decent amount of cash, but I'm looking for a place to put it near-term and have limited patience on housing in the face of continued high inflation.
But here you're talking about efficacy against infection and mild disease, which is not so relevant if we're talking about preventing new strains. New strains are thought to evolve in immunocompromised people with high viral loads over long periods of time, which allows both many mutations to occur as well as for those mutations to become dominant. So I believe the question should be to what extent the vaccines help prevent serious disease in people with comorbidities - and the answer is that they help to a great extent (whether 70% or 90%).
So will the gaming industry reshape as a Microsoft vs Sony affair?
For sure. I’m not exactly sure why but I make more consistent progress towards working out. Maybe I’m more aware.

For instance, one day I’ll write my neck hurts today. When I see that again, I think about why. Then start thinking about posture. I start doing a simple yoga routine. Find one area is super tight. Write it down. I learn my hip flexors need work. Now I’m on that simple yoga routine with some martial arts kick drills and I feel phenomenal!

Mental clarity is greatly improved as well.

The biggest benefit to me is not redundantly thinking about things. When I do, it’s obvious because I see it in writing and can take action.

I tried a bunch of complicated frameworks for organizing. I ended up with as simple as possible.
