> 10 years ago, the cheapest model of a manufacturer would maybe be 10 thousand Euro. Now it easily starts at 15 thousand Euro

True, but with the State incentives to scrap old models, you can buy a FIAT Panda for 8 thousand euros

But the Panda of 2022 is a much better car than the 80s Panda, that costed more than that adjusting for inflation.
I've noticed that people coming from Python tend to appreciate it as well. The fast compile-times make the language _feel_ dynamic, the concurrency story is much nicer than in Python, the type system is helpful without being pedantic, and interfaces are safer duck-types.
my issues with notebooks is the bleed-through. i like thick dark pens but they always bleed-through if you dont get a super heavy weight paper, and those are a lot more expensive. whats the solution, just not write on the backside of the paper?
I promised myself that I would never try to learn Cloudflare until it made its pricing clearer and easier to calculate. How do they expect someone to use their services when no one can do a simple math without contacting their sales team?

How hard is for them to build something similar to https://calculator.aws ?
Or just maintaining plausible deniability.

I would certainly have a different opinion about someone saying negative things about me in anonymous generic terms that people paying attention could figure out, vs using my name and posting direct criticism. As would most people I think.
These are in-app purchases, right? Imagine if Walmart demanded a 30% cut not of merely the sale price for anything they sold you, but had a policy that any later sale that that product caused--such as an app on a phone, if the phone was purchased for Walmart ;P--had to use Walmart.com's billing and they were entitled to a 30% cut... and then place that ridiculous scenario in a world where half the people in the US only could shop at Walmart and the other half only could shop at Target (and it would cost the user $500 to switch stores and then they would only be able to use the other store). If you want to say that apps shouldn't be free with later purchase, that would at least make more sense? Like, sure: Walmart isn't going to stock and hand out phones for free. But I feel like the honest version of that business makes it so that app developers just pay Apple for hosting fees--which would correlate with downloads, not revenue--which is how all of this really should work.

How is this his fault? Your service had poor validation or design and was used in ways it was intended to. You knew this but still didn't patch it?
I agree that it is currently a very real security risk but at the same time we should ask ourselves what on Earth are our OSs do? Because my phone could protect me from that 100%. Running arbitrary code should pose no such threat ever.
Thomas J. Watson famously said:

Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?
I think in the USA its even more. A base Chevy Spark starts at $13.6k Mitsubishi Mirage (pretty much junk) starts at $14.6k. Not sure you can even find those bare bones models at dealers. I'm not sure if there are cheaper options but these are bottom of the barrel for sure.

As explained elsewhere in this thread, regulations don't allow this.
Street Fighter and SimCity were definitely not Java games. I don't know why they're in that list.

The first SimCity and SimCity were both written long before Java was released. SimCity 3 and 4 were released when Java was still known for being horrendously slow, so there's no way they're Java. SimCity 2013 uses the RenderWare engine, which was written in C++.

Always found it interesting how the small cars grow and then the manufacturer has to slot in a new model at the bottom (eg i can think of the VW Golf and Pluto, VW Tiguan and now Taos).
Takeaways from the investigation into Colorado’s federal pandemic aid
It refers to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_(order), with the elements of the lattice being the arithmetic types and the order relation being the subtyping relation here. Given any two types in the lattice, the lattice property then guarantees that there exists a unique common (least) supertype (aka upper bound, supremum) of the two types. Which means you can apply the binary operation (e.g. addition) as defined for that common supertype.
It’s pretty useful if you’re an up and coming growth company paying higher than average comp as it ensures you’re continually snatching new employees from other companies.
It is good for now, given battery powered vehicles' advantage in terms of regulation. My guess is that as they become the majority of vehicles over time there will be an interest in efficiency regulation similar to fuel economy for ICE engines. There is already an interest in taxing electric vehicles differently given the eroding base of road-building taxes based on hydrocarbon fuels.
Ha. This is quite true. I wish there were an (obvious) way to build languages on top of Go's runtime, in much the same way as Clojure/Scala/etc run on the JVM.
Disagreeing too... Neighbors here both have plug-in hybrids. 50 km autonomy officially, when they actually do 40. Thing is: when your daily commute is 20 kilometers or less, this means you don't need the ICE. But you have it when you need to do more than 40 kilometers and there's no "range anxiety".

They can go for weeks without turning the ICE on.

I do also think it's not a bad stepping stone to bring people towards full electric cars: they get used to a car that you charge at home. Meanwhile the charging network gets better and better and cities/countries get the time to adapt too (there's no way everybody can charge a full electric car at home without changes to the current grids).

I don't see what's wrong with ICE -> plug-in hybrid -> full electric.
CAFE is not a particularly good law, but the arms race for crash safety is clearly to blame. The majority of difference between a 1990 Golf and a 2022 Golf is in the size and complexity of the body. And if you need a 30% bigger and more expensive frame to keep up your crash safety rating, you may as well add a few inches of passenger room.

We also cannot flatly ignore consumer preference. Two door car options used to be incredibly popular. But ask a new car buyer today if they are willing to part with rear passenger doors to save $1500 on their car and they will look at you like you are crazy.
No, I meant to highlight that “most neurons are here” may not be the important question to ask, but their interconnectedness which is achieved through axons, and which gives the most volume of the brainz
It’s here.
The fix is easy but politically difficult, remove the distinction for light trucks or at least severely increase the standard for them, then the benefit for crossovers will disappear.

The industry responded to regulations and they can respond again.
The whole notion of fuel economy regulations is so stupid. If we want people to burn less fuel then just increase the tax on fuel and let the market sort it out. Which is worse, a Chevrolet Tahoe driven 3K miles per year or a Toyota Prius driven 25K miles per year?
This sounds like a "I didn't say it, I declared it" situation. It means absolutely nothing without specifics, of which few have been offered.

What exactly is "enabling free speech" on a globally used platform? Is Musk going to disable Twitter in countries that criminalize Holocaust denial? It's not illegal in the US after all. How about criticism of China's treatment of Uighurs? Will that left untouched considering Musk's numerous business interests that require bending the knee to the CCP?

Is Musk going to relocate the company to Mars so they can allow white nationalist groups and ISIS offshoots
At my previous employer it was first proportional on tenure, and then switched to just divided to everyone equally.
Do any databases have something like native support for soft deletes or ability to undo (other than SQL transactions rollbacks where you're having to specify the undo checkpoint)? Something like what Git does where it keeps a history of edits? If this isn't common, is this a neglected area that should be addressed or it's just too hard of a problem? It feels like with SQL, there's minimal guardrails and it's just your own fault if you're not extra careful, compared to say using Git with code or using "restore from trash" with filesystems.
My view is that less software is better, when it comes to note taking. My frustration with the RM2 is that I really don’t see much of a benefit to taking “digital notes”, aside from the fact that I can have multiple “notebooks” with me at all times. All of the electronic features (OCR, searching, indexing), aren’t helpful enough to make the switch. But I do like the RM2, so long as you aren’t looking for much software help.

I’m personally still a bit on the fence for my RM2, but leaning that direction. Having multiple logical notebooks to keep meeting separate is pretty handy.
I remember buying my first Moleskine notebook in college. It was my first exposure to "fashionable office supplies", a foreign concept to me growing up. It was a super nice object. In fact it was so nice, I didn't want to use it to just take notes in class, because what a waste. I also didn't want to use it to just scribble personal notes and todo lists in, because what a waste. In the end, I never wrote anything in that notebook at all: what a waste.

Now I tend to view fashionable office supplies as productivity fetish items. It's easy to geek out on that stuff, but does a better notebook make me more productive? Seems to make me less productive, if history is an indicator.

Yeah, I will occasionally find myself reading reviews of immaculately designed mechanical pencils, or minutely engineered Japanese scissors. But I try not to lose sight of the advantages cheap, lousy stuff has too: disposable, easy to replace, low barrier to use. These qualities are also valuable.
You seem to be defending the thesis in the original comment, so yes.

Demand and practicality. It's much harder to use a RLCD. Remember how everyone used to complain about how bad the GBA screen was and how bright a light you needed to view it? Early laptops had RLCDs too but those are harder to use on a plane or train and color only makes it harder.
I was planning on looking into Zaplib, but must admit I am relieved not to have to, because I was hoping `napi-rs` had won this space.

What we need is a TypeScript to native transpiler. I'm sure it will come one day. Rust is great, has a great community and package manager, but I feel it will always be too difficult to use. Rust just doesn't feel like it has sticking power to me. Not as much as TypeScript has at least.
False. A petrol car burns petrol it’s entire life. An EV is already cleaner burning coal than a petrol vehicle, and the electric grid will only get cleaner over time. You can Google “well to wheel efficiency” to confirm.

With regards to charging infra, yes, I assume at the current global production rate of ~2 million EVs/year built and sold, the electric grid can absorb these new distributed loads (which are roughly the same draw as a large central heat pump, 20-40amps). There are already systems to orchestrate vehicle charging when there is excess clean energy on a local grid (“DER”). Tesla supports this today with a Scandinavian utility, no different then your Nest thermostat shedding AC load during peak power demand but the inverse.

Below is a list of jurisdictions banning new fossil fuel vehicle sales and when the bans go into effect. Everyone has plenty of notice to prepare.

I think a large part of the problem is that bonuses are often based on comparables, so the bonus requirement is being in the top 10% of people.

That is technically a requirement, but still zero sum.

FWIW I'm a (developer turned) manager who took over a team that was using tailwind and said "hey if you wanted you could do X or Y or Z as an alternative to tailwind..." and everyone metaphorically gasped in horror and said that tailwind was better than anything they had collectively done before.

I didn't get it at first either but I think perhaps a surprisingly big part of it is the fact that our UI is based on React and having everything contained within each component so you don't have to go hoping around between files is much nicer. And then it's just a thorough, tasteful and well thought out framework based on modern principles.
I would say that past preferences are simpler than malnutrition. The biggest brute wins. People feel safe around bigger people if they're on their team. I met Thor Bjornson a few years ago and meeting him was terrifying. I can see that trait as being desirable just from a protection and safety perspective.

Like you said though, that's less necessary in this day and age.

I thought so too, and bought a cheap EV, but also kept a raggedy old civic for taking longer trips. Caring for 2 cars got old quick. Sold both and bought a cheap used plug-in hybrid and haven't looked back.

Even a non-plug hybrid isn't really the worst of both worlds. The battery replacement is relatively cheap when it eventually needs it, it's gentler on the gas engine that and ICE car, and won't waste gas running the engine while you're not moving.

As for anemic/not exciting to drive, yeah, true. It's not that important for me to have an exciting car, and I think most people don't see that as a top priority.
I love the Leuchtturm but I find that I too like something more disposable. My preference now is the Kokuyo Dot Grid which you can get in a spiral bound or loose pages.

SML is one of my favorite languages (I've been (very) slowly writing a compiler & language server for it).

Sure, it has some warts/differences compared to newer languages - we have moved towards traits/typeclasses/etc, and I wish I could just write #[derive(Debug) - but I feel that SML fits in a very unique spot for programming languages. It's extremely simple, yet still powerful and expressive. I hope we will see continued work on SML/Successor ML descendants (like 1ML, etc), because I think there's still potential there

I think some updated language tooling would dramatically help.
Ooh. The Next is a premium item, isn't it?
Remember that people like basisword believe they know better than normal people what is good for them, and so in their mindset they seriously believe that it is somehow doing right by users to protect them from their beliefs about what they "need".

Yes. In fact, that's exactly what I said.

It's also worth calling out the sheer madness of equating height discrimination to racism, and pretending not to see the problem.

I have read many papers about C.elegans and my claims are backed up:
"the inability to reliably identify all neurons within whole-brain recordings has precluded a full picture with circuit-level details."

"we expect our work to aid in these endeavors (Bargmann and Marder, 2013; Brennan and Proekt, 2019; Kaplan et al., 2020; Kato et al., 2015). A richer set of network responses, even for simple chemosensory inputs, has broad relevance in understanding sensorimotor processing"

"The application of NeuroPAL to whole-nervous-system activity recording is mainly limited by nuclear localization of the GCaMP activity sensor, as this may fail to capture highly localized events in axodendritic compartments. This limitation, combined with potentially incomplete or variable anatomical synaptic annotations, may have contributed to the lack of correlation we observed between functional activity and synaptic connectivity."

Neuropal is an extremely recent advance (2021) https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(20)31682-2?_re...
it is the first to allow a complete mapping of GABA receptors (except mitochondria GABA translocator) however complete maps for other receptors, such as mGLURs, NMDA, kainate, ampa, etc are LACKING, as I said. Let alone realtime data that take into account the individual variances over multiple worms. (they should study genetic clones btw)
real time data are rare, nowhere near big-data https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=B4gNamS8Ars and when they exist, they lack the complete information (receptor locations, precise neurostransmitter density per axon, etc)
C.elegans might be trivial to understand, without a complete map of axons and recpetors, it would still appear generally un-studiable.

As for the 150-300 neurons it is a matter of debate. IIRC the paper I linked refer to ~150 neurons in the head, the rest would be the PNS, not the CNS. But I'm not sure of the exact CNS/PNS ratio besides this paper.
It is considered an insult because it implies you are only signaling and not actually doing.
> Hopefully violence isn't necessary but at this point unfortunately, the credible threat of it is.

The credible threat of violence doesn’t even work unless you can credibly threaten a huge portion of the population. Just look at how ineffective terrorism has been for the last 50 years.

Have you considered the civil rights movement was not successful because of the threat of violence but was instead successful because people actually changed their minds?

We have same sex marriage now, which was as unpopular as desegregation a couple of decades ago. When Obama went into office he was against same sex marriage. Society changed rapidly and without violence.

It likely changed so rapidly because it was not a coercive movement at all, but that’s just speculation on my behalf.
Yeah that part is interesting while unfortunately being largely unknowable. A lot of people might've been aware of one or two lies and thought "Well what's the harm?" It's only when (as the author says) you start to appreciate the full picture that you realize what the harm is.
I suspect there’s something a bit like the “small phone” problem: there’s almost certainly a market for smaller sedans and coupes, but for whatever reason companies have decided that it’s not worth their time to make cars for that market. (There’s a similar issue for families with 6+ kids, where there’s just not a lot of good options in the “more seats than a minivan” space)

Strike Eagle. Days vary significantly based on the sched. Generally: Show up, prep as required, brief, put on gear, fly, debrief, go home, or have a drink in the squadron bar. Sometimes it's a desk duty instead, like briefing the crews who fly and doing coord with maintenance, or sitting in the ATC tower and coording emergencies, weather contingencies etc. Sometimes it's a sim (realistic video game with full mockup cockpit) Sometimes its meetings, academics, training etc. You generally have a desk job too that you change out once a year or so, but many of those are being supplemented by civilians who do it full time.

Unfortunately, the computers used for the desk jobs are horrendously broken. Ie, takes ~30 mins to go from log-on to getting email up; everything has a long response time. Opening a PDF to sign or fill out takes 1-3 minutes or so each.

> This reads like pure cope from a short guy. I don't see how one can dictate to others what they should find attractive. That's not how it works.

No one is dictating anything about attractiveness, and you really shouldn't be trying to marginalize my arguments on the ground that I might be short. It really has no relevancy here. I wasn't talking about dating and people's dating preferences. I was referring specially to the person receiving a derogatory comment about his stature, that was in the context of normal socializing. Again, it is not socially or morally acceptable to deride someone for their skin color, and my point is that it's equally unacceptable to do so on another genetic trait such as height. Just because that random man did not find the height adjusted man to be attractive or not has no bearing on whether he has the right to express derision about his height in such a nonchalant manner. I mean, it shouldn't be made illegal, but it shouldn't be socially acceptable either assuming all parties are not toxic and want to be part of well-intenioned society.

However, if we want to shift the topic to dating/attractiveness, your statement applies to people's "preferences" on race as well. OK Cupid published these preferences against black woman (and also Asian men) on their site. We can use this as an example because it's been more in the spotlight than the topic of stature, and easier to see my point.

My opinion on this is that if you are short/Black/Asian and dating then just skip to the next person who can't see past superficial physical qualities. Usually it's a sign of dating inexperience anyways. It's a free market, and the winners will be those that are able to make a decision beyond superficial factors. Many people can't see past the superficial qualities as trivial as a candidate being a woman instead of a man, and the same thing applies here. It's their loss. Societal trends will always lag reality. We can't force people to get up to speed, nor should we (and I never advocated for this). The best thing to do is to simply reward those who are prescient.
I think in this instance it’s the person who sent the IDs that feels worse. The deleters were provided IDs that had 30 correct app IDs and the rest were site IDs.

Like they mentioned they had a delete script that worked for all types of unique IDs so that also can dilute the feeling of ”it’s all my fault” hopefully.
