I think that's assuming more ignorance than even an unskilled person has.

If you had never listened to a professional play piano before then you'd have no idea what level of performance is possible. Similarly, if you had never seen skilled skaters perform on TV.

But we have done these things, so it's obvious that they're doing something that's very difficult.

Maybe you don't fully appreciate the skill, though. You wouldn't do well as a judge who compares the performances of professionals. But comparing novices to professionals seems easy?
Yes, Los Angeles. I have to stand in a certain spot, facing a certain direction, and hold my phone above my head to get speeds faster than 4G. I've got wifi at home for my phone, and can't get 5G there to get rid of the wifi.

5G may be for some things, but those things certainly aren't our smart phones.
> That's what drives me crazy. I come from the statically typed world. This bit of Python's philosophy really clashes with my world view.

That’s the kind of the culture shock you get learning dynamic type languages with a static type pov. Type hinting is not really the problem here, but can seem that way because it makes dynamically typed code too superficially similar that it enters the uncanny valley if you treat it like statically typed.

One way that might make this easier is to forget about type hinting entirely at first and learn the language “from scratch”, and add the types back after you get used to write dynamically typed code. Dynamically typed code have its advantage and isn’t bad without type hints (well, at least you have to convince yourself on this, or you’ll never be able to learn a dynamic type language), and the type hints just add back some of the nice things static type provides without compromising dynamic type benefits.
> . Hard to imagine it can get worse from here.

I imagine a lot of "save the earth" and "Let's go to Mars" people overlap with the "Fuck Donald Trump" people. So letting Trump back on Twitter may cause them to swear off Teslas and DogeCoin. Alternatively, not letting Trump back may cause a bunch of truck-driving Texans he's been targeting to convert to electric to tell him to fuck off.

Bottom line, it puts Musk in the unenviable position of having to piss off a third of the country by deciding if Trump has a Twitter account. And while I would still swap with him in a second, this is an additional burden he's putting on himself.
5G is fantastic, maybe the author’s experience is limited to some part of America?

I (UK) replaced fibre with a 5G router at home where I get around 200Mbps.
I was recently in London, put the SIM card into my dual-SIM phone, and was walking around with a 300Mbps connection in my pocket. It was better than the internet offered by the shared office space I had to use.

5G speeds are improving rapidly.

https://www.speedtest.net/global-index/united-states

Verizon launched mid-band 5G in Q1 2022 and saw its average speeds increase from 79Mbps to 107Mbps. That might not seem like much, but it's also barely deployed. T-Mobile has seen its speeds more than double from 82Mbps to 191Mbps over the past year. That's going to keep increasing over the next couple years as they continue to upgrade their networks (AT&T is mostly waiting until new equipment becomes available for them in the second half of 2022).

I think a lot of people forget the 5-8Mbps that LTE launched with - which seemed barely better than what HSPA+ could offer.

This is such a weird article for April 2022.

> 5G does seem to offer advantages for a limited number of customers and you can really get great speeds if you’re able to connect to mmWave, which is rare

Except that it's offering a 5-10x improvement a lot of the time on mid-band and T-Mobile now covers 210M people with mid-band and Verizon covers 100M (with T-Mobile targeting 260M covered by the end of 2022 and 300M covered by the end of 2023 and Verizon targeting 175M covered by the end of 2022 and 250M covered by the end of 2024). 200-500Mbps mid-band 5G is very different from 20-70Mbps LTE.

The article is right that Apple wasn't late to the party, but the article is very wrong that 5G isn't offering anything meaningful. If you're on AT&T, you aren't seeing it yet. If you're on Verizon and not one of their 5G Ultra Wideband plans or not in their somewhat limited mid-band coverage area, you aren't seeing it. If you're on T-Mobile, most likely you are seeing it since they cover a decent majority of Americans (over 60%) and it's available on all their plans.

5G was hyped a couple years early for sure. I'd totally understand this article in 2020. In 2022, it's really weird given given the abundant evidence that 5G is coming along nicely. Sure, it was hyped too early and for most Americans it'll still be a year or two (given that around 2/3rds of Americans are on AT&T and Verizon and even T-Mobile is only covering around 60% at this point).

Why not write this article in Fall 2020 when Apple introduced its 5G iPhone? It would have been relevant and meaningful then. Today, it feels like someone wanted to regurgitate a criticism that was valid at one point and isn't valid anymore. Let's write articles about how consumers won't want touchscreen keyboards on their phones and how the BlackBerry is here to stay. Let's talk about how social networking is a fad. Let's talk about how Tesla will never be successful because the cars take too long to charge. All of those could have been fine articles at a certain time. Writing them today would seem really weird given that we now have evidence to the contrary.
I'm sure you could :)
1. You might need to re-read the site guidelines about assuming good faith.

2. Your last two sentences were, I think, not needed for the point you were making. They were also somewhere between gross generalizations and flat-out wrong, and felt like a gratuitous slam on a language that wasn't even the topic. I thought that deserved a response, even if it wasn't your main point.

3. I may assume that you know C. I don't assume that everyone reading this exchange knows C.

there is a maintained index hint extension: https://github.com/ossc-db/pg_hint_plan - at least as far as 13 (and likely 14).

if we're going to talk about index functionality that would be good and effective for Postgres, an index across all partitioned tables (both normal and unique) would be very much welcomed.

the problem is finding someone to maintain it for life.
I don't support this, but I can try to steel man this position.

Largely it comes with the idea that use = cost, and that infrastructure has limited capacity and is therefore zeroish sum. For example, a common idea is that we should tax trucks more than other cars because they cause a large amount of damage to our roads. Following that logic, the companies that encourage users to consume more bandwidth should be charged a price for that since they're the ones making money on it, and we don't want to raise costs on users.

It’s not about the cost of cables. It’s about the inconvenience of only some cables working. What happens if you lose/forget a cable, or if one dies on you while you’re out in the world using it? It’s much easier to replace a 3.5mm cable than it is to replace a 3.5mm cable that has a pretty narrow spec to it.
People with an agenda may not be honest in what they say in their indignation, either consciously or unconsciously.
That's great. 5G can work if it's deployed well and with sufficient capacity. Unfortunately, that's not the case everywhere. For example, there's no 5G in my area at all and even the 4G coverage and speeds suck. Thankfully, in my area, I have 200mbit cable internet and WiFi calling. So to use a cliche: Your mileage may vary...

So, when you’re 10+ miles outside Ely, NV how is 5G a material improvement over LTE? I’m not understanding your point.
From the first post in this blog series (https://sparelabs.com/blog/income-and-microtransit-diversity...), I thought this was pretty interesting:

> Strikingly, the bulk of high-income riders have much longer total journey times than the other income groups. Given that the majority of high-income riders use Spare-powered services to commute, these longer journey times likely result from wealthier riders living in suburban areas that are further from job centres, which in turn means the distances they travel are greater than for urban-dwelling, low-income riders.

> Arguably, high-income riders benefitting from longer trips and paying the same as low-income riders do for shorter trips is a form of transportation inequity. Means-tested pricing, or distance-based pricing, could also allow operators to recoup fare revenue from high-income riders to subsidize shorter trips by low-income riders.

The explanation makes sense, but it's the opposite of what I expected. Would have guessed higher income riders would take public transit for quick trips, but their own car for long rides/commuting, while lower income riders would take public transit for all trips.

Nah, I'd say it really depends on your carrier and/or radio pollution. 5G definitely was a boon here in Eastern Europe, maybe the US carriers cheaped out or they simply have to compete for spectrum too much?

I think the PRC saw how well Russia has fared against modern weapon systems in Ukraine and is probably getting cold feet. Taiwan has had more time to prepare and very advanced domestic manufacturing; the missile spam would be dense enough to make a Macross fan blush.

And with respect to the Type 003, where is the J-35 or whatever they're calling it? Still not ready. The only plane they've got for these ships is the J-15, which has the RCS of a barn. Carriers without planes are like tigers without teeth. Furthermore the PLAN's lack of operational experience with carriers is stark, to put it mildly. Those ships will be good at one thing: being reefs.
Duck typing is really enforcement of interfaces, not types themselves. Everyone who has passed a string into a Python method expecting a list of strings has run into this. It works, but did you really want to process a character at a time?

Also, some languages like Java do actually enforce types at runtime. If you've ever called a Java method dynamically with the wrong types, you'd know. You can run into ClassCastException, or worse (ClassNotFoundException if you have the wrong classloader.) This is a runtime error.

In short they seem to be saying "useful when recovering from surgery" / "increasingly looks like it could be a bad idea to use it all the time" / "once per day max" / "brushing and flossing are preferred".
Why do you think most people wouldn't notice? Computer and phone prices would probably double or triple. Think gpu shortage but with everything.

Since the world would have to fall back to older fabs we'll probably go back 10 years or more in time. A lot of current software is not optimized for such old tech or would be impossible to run. Can't run ML algorithms on an iPhone 6 cpu.

Apple probably wouldn't be able to sell phones or computers for a year or two. Would have to redesign everything for older fabs. Is an M1 cpu even possible on say 30nm?
Apple has enough money to probably survive two years without income but a lot of companies would just go bankrupt. Can't sell anything if you lost access to the factories.
Yes and no —- it’s definitely pretty far out there for a mainstream 80s pop song, and a bit more fiddly at first glance than your average Stevie Wonder song.

I think the trick is that it’s bossa nova, which tends to have a lot of those semitone shifts that Rick highlights. The Girl from Ipanema is the classic example.

I love that they seem so complex when you look at the individual chord movements, and yet the melody flows very naturally (to my ears, anyway!)

The effect in Never Gonna Let You Go feels a bit like the dramatic key change you often get right at the end of those 80s ballads, but smoothly integrated throughout the whole song. I can well imagine some hate that, but I love it!
But customers are already paying for 'unlimited internet' -- or for some amount of data up to a cap. You're suggesting that we should double charge the providers that the customers want to access, as well?

> Failure to actually improve query performance: most of the time, the optimizer is actually right.

my favorite response to someone complaining about a query doing a sequential scan is to tell them to `set enable_seqscan = false;` and rerun the query. usually, Postgres is right. it's rare that it is wrong, but it's nice to have a workaround for those few times that it's wrong - at least on fairly static data.
"I think we will be ‘feature-complete’ on full self-driving this year, meaning the car will be able to find you in a parking lot, pick you up, take you all the way to your destination without an intervention this year. I am certain of that. That is not a question mark." - Elon Musk in 2019

Lie. Full self-driving is not feature complete in 2022, and won't be for years.

"Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured." - Elon Musk in 2018
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1026872652290379776

Lie. Funding was not secured. Musk is still doubling down on this one.

There was an incident where the EPA gave the Model S a range of 391 miles, and Musk got upset and claimed the left the key in the ignition overnight, which the EPA denies. Musk provides no evidence, but neither does the EPA, so I guess this one is "Makes weird claim contradicting a government agency that has no reason to lie", but I am inclined to believe the EPA over Musk. (https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/1/21244556/elon-musk-lie-epa...)

These are a small sampling of examples, you can look at Musk's statements over time about Tesla, the Hyperloop, and his future intentions regarding the various bizarre whims he adopts monthly, and there's tons of stuff where exaggerates and overstates, but also plenty where he straight up lies and completely misrepresents the truth. Particularly with anything Tesla related, he's actually more straight up about SpaceX capabilities, for whatever reason.
> even without inflation tomorrow dollars are worth less than today dollars.

Interesting and a little counterintuitive but I guess it has to do with the time value of the dollar. As in you own the dollar longer thus it has more value?
The problem being, once you get to a certain state of bad, that requires executive function that is essentially impossible to muster.
Pretty neat app, similar to others I’ve seen but with some alt data to make it stand out. Seems interesting to work on if any part of it became open source (only because I’m looking on a project to work on in my spare time).

Ofc if it’s going to become paid - may not be possible.
Can someone explain a technical issue I see with net neutrality?

From a network engineering perspective, it seems sensible to me that CDN servers are located as close as possible to end users. So I assume that implies residing in whatever data centers the ISPs use at their edge.

Is there some way to get the networking-efficiency benefits of those colo arrangements while still having net neutrality?

I'm talking about specific statements that claim things that end up being entirely false. His claims about Tesla full self-driving and taking Tesla private in 2018 are pie-in-face obvious lies Musk has told, but there are any other number of half-truths, exaggerations, and misleading statements he's made over time that make me confident that yes, Elon Musk is a malevolent liar.
Clap. Clap. Clap.

Not the GP, but I think the point is that he can’t get LTE at all in the desert 10+ miles outside of Ely, NV, because there are no cell towers within range. He doesn’t get 5G speeds there, but he does get LTE speeds on the 5G bands because the range is so much better. Full disclosure: I am a 5G doubter, so this is interesting to me, and I am by no means a 5G expert, so I could be totally wrong about this.
Where are you located? I'm in Singapore and Steam downloads are usually about 800 Mb/s, and PS4 downloads are at 500 (probably limited by the disk in the device). Linux software updates are all over the place, which really isn't really surprising given that you never know which mirror it'll use.
I like boring.
Cellular technology, like most technologies controlled and implemented by a group of large companies, is always disappointing at first. The 4G rollout wasn't any better.

1. 4G rollout was late. There was a two year period where iPhones/Smartphones had significantly faster 3G on some carriers who offered HSPA+.
2. 4G killed unlimited data. The same is happening with 5G. Carriers will only offer it as a premium service if you give up your grandfathered unlimited data or high-capacity data plan.
3. 4G modems and drivers sucked so bad and were tied into carrier-specific apps. Custom ROM? No 4G for you. Old phone with a really bad android skin? you get either flaky 4G or supper batter consuming 4G.

5G is still pretty new and it's purpose doesn't lend well to the same massive 4G rollout maps we are used to seeing. It's primary purpose is higher bandwidth in dense areas. Since most carriers are turning off 3G, 4G/LTE is going to be the common denominator for a long time.
Yup. I have no experience AT ALL with Amiga OS. I really love Rebol though. Perhaps I would love Amiga OS as well. I should read up on it. Any interesting writings on its philosophy and whatnot? Similar to what could be found about Plan 9, for example.
Digicash was centralized and thus could shut down, and it did shut down. Major blockchains are effectively immortal, with open-access rules that have enormous momentum to remain unchanged.

This allows larger numbers of disparate parties to coordinate on them for financial and social interaction. I would not rely heavily on a token distributed on a centralized digicash like system but I would rely on a token my company issues on Ethereum, because I know any one receiving the tokens would still be able to access them years from now and that the infrastructure of compatible software, both client-side and blockchain-based, will only grow over time.
The whole point of the earlier comments is that it is preferable to use a package manager instead of using a browser to download binaries.
It’s also about what people will have. Walk into any show in the world and they’ll have XLR, and most productions will have 3.5 in their bag of tricks. But a specialized cable is something you’ll have to depend on yourself for.

This is actually an advantage in some cases - if you have an iPhone for example there’s very likely to be someone nearby with a charger just because how common they are.
really? I found it to be an invaluable source for understanding the mathematics behind some fundamental computer graphics topics. But I'm also bad at math, so the diagrams helped a lot for me to visualize all the calculus discussed. It's "beginner friendly" but for advanced topics, which is a rarity. There's still a huge gap between reading this and then picking up a SIGGRAPH paper to implement, but that's an industry wide issue.

My only reservation was that it updated at a glacial pace for topics I really wanted. I was waiting for volume rendering 4 years ago, and it looks like they started making articles last month. But I can't really complain about updates to completely free resources.
