Honestly no. I have a work phone with touchID and my personal phone uses faceid and I feel like faceid is just as convenient.
I feel like people get what makes for the best programming language wrong in the same way they get the "fittest" wrong with darwinian selection of "survival of the fittest". It's not necessarily the prettiest (although that can help) or the fastest, or some subjective assessment of the best. It's what survives. Sometimes that's a stallion, other times it's a dung beetle but both are the best at what they do and if you put it in the wrong environment they die. Java's just doing what it does and it has survived where others have died.
>Not sure if Netflix and the other streamers work differently.

Right now they work differently. They are throwing around big money for the middle tier budget movie--not blockbusters and not small indies.

But all it takes is for the data to suggest that its better to make 5 Red Notices than 10 middle budge adult movies and they'll just stop making them.
Of course! Americans like to complain a lot, but they are generally unaware how lucky they are. With 7.25 an hour you can easily make 1200 a month, which has almost zero taxes (maybe 5%?). You can easily buy a 1000 car with that. In practice, the de-facto minimum wage in most cities is much higher: 15-20 USD.
Desktop isn't a requirement though. I have 38" LG and connect the work laptop to it with just one USB-C cable. That handles power, monitor, mouse, keyboard, webcam, and audio. It's great.
The problem with cryptocurrencies is not the _idea_ per se, it's that every current and proposed implementation is deeply flawed and utterly fails to deliver on what it promises, to the point that crypto mostly stands afloat only as a mean to enable economical speculation and to facilitate unregulated and illegal transactions.

I also agree with the idea that teleportation and faster-than-light travel would be extremely beneficial if not necessary for the long term success of the human species, but that does not mean that any proposal or attempt to accomplish those should be immediately hailed as a success. Cryptocurrency is definitely a failure at being what it was supposed to be, there's very little doubt regarding that I'm afraid.
> It shouldn't take that much energy to stop if you are cycling at a reasonable speed.

I'm going to read between the lines here.

First, you're correct, it takes next zero energy to stop. Squeeze the brake levers and you're done.

What you and the GP seem to be referring to is the energy to start up again from a dead stop. For most people, this means getting back up to putting out around 1.5 W/kg, which I agree is easy. (This is your typical bike commuter.)

For the rest of us that road cycle, this means getting back up to putting out 2-4.5 W/kg, which requires a pretty hefty instantaneous power expenditure if the cyclist wants to get back up to speed quickly. Note that this is still a reasonable speed in many situations, but it is not a reasonable speed for cycling in an area with pedestrians.

I have three rules for red traffic lights and stop signs when cycling:

1) If the light is red, I stop. If the light does not have a sensor, wait for the green. If the light does have a sensor and will detect me, wait for the green. If the light does have a sensor and does not detect me, I have no other choice than to wait for an opening to cross the intersection against a red light. (There are several such lights on some of my cycling routes that I cannot realistically avoid.)

2) I stop at stop signs when there are any other vehicles at intersections controlled by stop signs.

3) In rural areas, when there are no vehicles within visual distance at intersections controlled by stop signs, I slow down and check several times for vehicles in each direction. If there are none, I'll simply pedal through; otherwise I will stop. If I'm pedaling through slowly I'm starting the crossing at less than 5mph, anyway, which is usually slower than most cars roll through stop signs.
I'm not so sure that's 100% true in the absence of social media. If it were there would be millions/billions of actual physical confrontations per day.
Wouldn't just wrapping System.in with the Scanner class handle this?
You cannot have an MSDOS/PCDOS compatible DOS with GPT/UEFI. DOS relies on the PC BIOS explicitly, and beyond the BIOS calls required not being compatible with UEFI, the MBR is called by BIOS directly as well. On some machines, CSM is enough to emulate the BIOS and get DOS running, but this is not universal at all. More importantly, if you want sound and proper video support you will require an ISA machine or a full PC emulator. If you get into games that are clock speed sensitive, even that won't always be enough.
In 1919 no one in the world would have thought the backward, fledgling Soviet Union would be the first in space. Your example is not apt.
This is not accurate. Cubans could not vote out the Communist Party since it is enshrined in the Cuban constitution that there is only one party, the Communist Party, and all other political parties are classed as "illegal".

"Cuba is a one-party state, with the Communist Party of Cuba being described as the "superior driving force of the society and the state" in the Constitution of Cuba, and all other political parties are illegal. Elections in Cuba are not democratic because the government does not allow free and fair voting." ~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Cuba

So how would that work?
>Alcohol distilleries didn't label/market their products as beneficial ailments intended to cure diseases.

It's actually very inefficient use of energy to use miners as electric heaters.

Now that we care about energy efficiency and atmospheric pollution, hopefully more people will learn that efficient electric heating takes the form of a heat pump, where you end up with more heat energy in your space than just the electricity put into the device.

A miner cannot match the heating efficiency of a heat pump because it dissipates the negative-entropy into computation instead of pumping.
TFA: The "one weird trick" is that, for a lot of activities, being something like 10%-ile among people who practice can make you something like 90%-ile or 99%-ile among people who participate

An important point is that you're now better than 95% of starcraft players if you reach middling competitiveness against those who compete regularly. At 50th pctile in competitions youre absolutely better than the vast majority of starcraft players.
Why would Apple do that? First, there's unlikely to be a big market for this (think Parler) so why would Apple involve itself on something that probably won't matter? Second, if there are any problems (eg security) or ToS/policy violations, Apple can't just assume those will happen. it has to be reactive.

There is literally zero upside in taking preemptive action here.
That is odd. How did they justify it?
It wouldn't be hot enough for more than a Stirling engine, but it may be good enough for a bathtub.
I tend to agree. I find unreal to have a higher initial learning curve but then generally be an easier engine to develop for. The core engine components have a wider coverage of basic game concepts like movement and network replication. The difference between fixed updates and tick updates is not a concern which is a trap for newbies. The engine source is available.

Unity has better support for 2D games. And seems to be more mobile friendly. The asset store is better if you want to just pull in some other peoples stuff, which I find unpleasant for anything but photo realistic mundane objects. That is to say, I think Unity tends to be the best choice for making mediocre games, which is not to say that games made in Unity are intrinsically mediocre at all.
Well, it's a long story but my wife's family farm is two miles from here. Hopefully this doesn't make the jealousy worse, but it's actually 3 large lots; the north-most one has an old United Church on it. Several generations of her family were baptized there, etc. In 1999 the town wanted someone to take it over, and she offered to.

It's all "free as in puppies" though. The church needs a new roof this year (ahem, maybe more like 10 years ago...) and that's going to cost about $25k. It's a beautiful building though, and we have aspirations to modernize it somewhat (more insulation, natural-gas-fired forced air heating, water...).

Starlink honestly will help with all of that effort though. Right now our primary house is about an hour away in a city, and it was a pretty big hassle to come out here to work on things for an evening/weekend. I can generally work remote though, so I can just come out here for a week, put in my work hours and then pick away at things in the mornings/evenings.

> People on the left were outraged. How dare you give work to people on a government mandate

The heirs who expropriate surplus labor time from those of us who work and create wealth are the ones who not work. Their wealth is from government mandate - the government was created by them to do this and enforce it. When are they to work?
This is not a canonical answer, because this question isn't amenable to a simple yes/no answer.

If you booted from the hard disk: no, but there are USB drivers for DOS you could load.

Some BIOSes support USB floppy drives and can fake them being DOS ones. So, on some machines, yes.

If you booted from a USB device: some (many?) BIOSes enable USB emulation via BIOS calls for all USB devices connected when the PC was booted from a DOS device. So in that case, yes.

Best answer I can give: maybe -- try it.
Thanks for the in-depth response. That's really great news about async querysets getting merged! Even with adapter thread pooling, that should dramatically increase Django's throughput and hopefully make it competitive with newer frameworks like FastAPI. I've been impressed that Django has managed to transition to async views basically without any major problems (that I've heard about). Now that they're going async with the ORM, that feels even more risky and something that should probably go slowly. With all the improvements in Django combined with new-ish JavaScript libraries like HTMX/Unpoly, it really feels like new life is being injected into the framework.
A very nice article.

On the other hand, I have a feeling that symplectic geometry (in 3D) is being pushed by its proponents onto the unsuspecting public as the best framework for understanding Hamiltonian mechanics, similar to how geometric algebra people claim that theirs is the best mathematical framework for physics.

Personally, I find both largely unintuitive and, at deeper levels, too complicated to be useful.
> The iPhone doesn't even let you turn off its version of Google Location Services

FWIW, I expect at least Gitlab, Sourcehut, and Gitea to stick around for a while - It'll require another leap in quality similar to SVN -> git for people to move off of git[0], and being FL/OSS and self-hostable put them in a very strong place imho.

I expect Github to be gone outside of enterprise in about a decade or two though, based on what I've seen looking at history. Microsoft at least will continue using it though.

[0] Not impossible, but I do find it unlikely to happen on a scale of 1 - 2 decades.

>Inflation, nor deflation are bad. Too much of any is. The common consensus is that the scales, on average, should lean a little towards inflation. But only a little. And not always.

I think the common consensus is that any deflation is too much. What's contentious is just how much inflation is acceptable and how much is counterproductive to economic growth.

It was indeed his immediate and voluntary confession that did him in. If he had not snitched on himself he would have just been a person of interest. He was one of several people who happened to be using Tor on the campus at the time, but that doesn’t mean anything, the person making the threat could have been someone in LA or Moscow or Beijing just looking to cause mischief and having no connection to the school at all. If he had kept his cool he probably would have gotten away with it.
In retrospect, I should've had kids when I was in grad school. I wasnt ricb then, but had more time and more energy. Then they'd be mostly out of the house once I get settled. But that's a Canadian/German perspective, where there's access to health insurance and affordable day care, so kids aren't so expensive.

Ppl worry too much about kids. They mostly ride along with whatever, and are probably more flexible than u are.

I'd probably pay for a "cloud provider with seatbelts" too for learning/testing (e.g. "GCP"/"AWS"/"Azure" but without the possibility to empty my bank account. Bonus if it let me attempt that without doing it and immediately tell me I messed up, etc.)

Edit: there are probably a number of other things I would buy if I could buy them in the form of tokens, not a monthly subscription. I have serious subscription fatigue so I try to only pay subscribtions for stuff that I love or need.)

I've been using UBlox F9P/F9R units recently and it's really quite amazing how good it is.

The radios we use to send the RTCM3 stream to the drones are quite tiny too, the antenna's about as long as my finger.
No rules.

My partner and I don't think there is any problem (in terms of being able to do it, practical, moral, etc...) in loving more than one person at a time. There is a limit of how much time and energy that you have to pursue relationships, but if you have a 20 hour a week video game habit you have "time enough to love" a metamour.

I have read a lot about it and also done a lot of introspection and found that being attracted or attached to another person doesn't diminish the love I have for my wife at all. It's not like there is a certain amount to go around but you can experience more. Call me a throwback to another place and another time but I have little interest in casual sex but I love that feeling of falling in love, that feeling when you catch eyes with somebody and the next thing you know they sing and invade your personal space and when I am not working on a relationship I am developing my ability to share these feelings with people and give them a really great time as well as patching them into a supportive social network that includes my family.
Based on the stats of increasing age at first marriage, increasing age at first child's birth, and overall decreasing birth and marriage rates, I assume more and more people are doing the same calculations and concluding that if they cannot have a certain minimum lifestyle, then they are willing to forego the marriage/child parts of life.

I don't find the word "failed" to be helpful at all. I was married for 15 years. We divorced. I do not look back on that relationship and consider it "failed." It lasted for 15 years, most of them were great and we accomplished a lot of incredible things through our partnership. Both of us have moved on to new relationships and we are still friends. I consider that relationship to be highly successful.

Of course, my experience took a great deal of emotional maturity, which was developed through a series of monogamous relationships. Serial monogamy gets a bad rap IMO. Luckily I have enough emotional maturity to know that I don't have enough emotional maturity to pull of poly. In my reasonably broad experience with poly folks, the vast majority don't either.

Similar problems but very different challenges and goals indeed. The main challenge with document editing is avoiding conflicts, correctness and avoiding corruption/data loss. The main challenges with shared game state (which could include very complicated things like modifiable geometry) is scaling it to massive amounts of users with minimal latency and minimizing undesirable/temporary inconsistencies due to people randomly disappearing, having networking issues, etc.

Typically platform teams like ours (.NET person here) gets to see what a wide variety of teams are doing or are trying to do.

That's interesting! Watching a friend play Final Fantasy 7 was the reason I never cared to get a Playstation. The graphics were horrible. I mean, sure it was 3D, but everything was so ugly. I went back to playing games on my SNES and Genesis, and didn't buy any Playstation games until much later.

In retrospect, I missed out, but the way that game looked really soured my view of Playstation for years. I should play one of the remasters some time to see what the story is all about.
