I think that's consistent with my line of thinking - if in 2015 some people tried it and decided that it's not for them, they drop off from the sample and % loved goes up in following years.

Not claiming that this explains the entire increase in the percentage (I have no way of knowing) but I don't think this data contradicts my reasoning either.

I attended a police academy in the Los Angeles metro area back in the early 1980s [0]. The instructors complained about LAPD and LASD frequently [1]. This means that the problems that are still complained about were happening at least as early as the 1970s.

I think the Rampart scandal would be illustrative of how deep is the problem of corruption in the LA policing community. As part of the clean-up, prosecutors were asking the courts to vacate every conviction that the corrupt police officers had worked on - it wasn't possible to separate the false from factual testimonies.

Notes:

0 - I had run out of money for my (engineering) university program so I dropped out. Amusingly enough, the courses comprising the police academy (which was part of a community college) counted as humanities electives when I returned to finish that degree program.

1 - LAPD & LASD had their own academies. Any students that graduated from this community college program would still have to attend those department's academies.

2 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampart_scandal

> CRASH officers would get together at a bar near Dodger Stadium in Echo Park to drink and celebrate shootings. Supervisors handed out plaques to shooters, containing red or black playing cards. A red card indicated a wounding and a black card indicated a killing, which was considered more prestigious. Pérez testified that at least one Rampart lieutenant attended these celebrations.

> Rampart officers wore tattoos of the CRASH logo, a skull with a cowboy hat encircled with poker cards depicting the "dead man's hand", aces and eights.
Police-Gang tattoos are not new.

Like many things that evolved slowly over time, there isn’t a single clear reason for the upper/lower case distinction.

The distinction began as a mixing of different writing styles (called “hands” in calligraphy), something similar to how we today will mix fonts in a document.

“Lower case” was the newer, more common font. (What wed today call uncial or Carolingian)

“Upper case” was a font based on older, Roman-era designs. This is why Roman monuments like the Trajan column appear to us as being in all capitals.

Using the older “font” at the beginning of sentences seems to have begun as stylistic choice, but perhaps with some purpose as a reading aid to identify sentence starts, somewhat in the same way we’ll use different fonts for headings. Note that punctuation (periods, question marks, commas, etc) was also evolving at around the same time and didn’t exist in Roman times.

Bold and italic also evolved from the mixing of different “fonts” within one text.

Wish I could find a better source, but this is what I’ve learned as a calligrapher over the years.

Some more info here: https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/history-of-capital-letter...

Edit: the codification of upper/lower case took place in the Italian classical revival during the Renaissance. See:

Totally agree. Scala and TypeScript are both usually wonderful to write.

Though I might argue that one of Scala's biggest issues in my eyes, performance, is mostly _not_ a JVM limitation.

For example, a Scala for-loop calls functions on each iteration, and immutable containers need to be garbage collected for each modification. Both of these could be compiled away in many common cases (like C++ or Rust do, but Scala's compiler doesn't, unless they've changed that in the last couple of years).

That’s crazy. Why should a government spend taxpayer money to build energy supplies to support the “energy needs” of crypto scams? Its a terrible idea, if for no other reason than that a vanishingly small percentage of the population would benefit.
Most sensible green hydrogen infrastructure involves electrolyzers at charging station (which for cars can easily double as charging station for BEV).

It brings certain advantages in terms of charging speed and energy density scaling that can be problematic for batteries (and while there's considerable flexibility depending on users to just accept longer charging, that blocks you away from certain use cases beyond light car market)

I don't know if it's worst that if you browsed the internet a bit carelessly you had some malware that basically showed you ads and pop-ups (IE) or that if you browse normally you are silently tracked and followed by your "user agent", all the time, no questions asked, to show you better ads (Chrome).

One small correction, they offer 20 weeks paid for the parent who gives birth and 6 for any parent that doesn't.
While there is a failure to provide clean energy, increasing demand makes it harder to supply energy to everyone. If the rich keep on pushing demand by using energy on speculative financial products, we can’t make up the supply in time to prevent the worst of climate change. Bitcoin is basically class warfare, except because of climate and air pollution in general, it’s lethal class warfare.

I’m not saying to stop all innovation, but crypto is 5+ orders of magnitude more energy inefficient, and it’s killer apps so far have been asset speculation, untaxed remittances, and cyber crime. Governments have no interest in those innovations at all.
That's why we have conventions: to avoid wasting time arguing about which style to use here and there. I wasted more time reading this article than I will ever waste with lower/upper case naming issues.

By the way, Arabic has 4 letter forms, Japanese has 3 sets of characters, Chinese has 2 character forms, Vietnamese and some other romanized Asian languages have many diacritics (for the tones) which change the meaning of words,...

It’s a shame those early 2000s automatic transmissions were junk. I’ve owned a few of them myself and it’s part of the territory. They got a lot better around 2012 but the damage was done.
When my nephew was little his family repeatedly told him I was a genius scientist who had changed the world. They watched a lot of black&white movies on TV and he asked them "why was the world so drab and gray back when those movies were made?"

This is about government deciding how electricity should or should not be used and seems like an extremely bad idea. Cryptocurrency mining doesn't pollute in itself. If the idea is that electricity consumption in general is polluting, the law should penalize/regulate electricity consumption in general.

What's with game developers being unable to spell correctly?
I currently use a Google sheet, but I'm looking for something better.

I have many automatic payments (credit card, telephone, utilities, etc) from a transaction account. I also have a loan with redraw, and I want to have most of my funds keeping the loan balance low, but I don't want my transaction account to go negative. So I need to forecast future transactions.

Future transactions may be annual, monthly, four weekly, two weekly, etc. It's a real mess. Some are easy to predict accurately, others can only be estimated.

I have a column to keep track of which future transactions are predictions/estimates/allowances, and which ones have been confirmed.

I also have a column to keep track of which transactions have been reconciled with the bank. (This is currently a manual cross-checking process, since my bank doesn't have API access.)

My preference would be a text-based system (https://plaintextaccounting.org/), but haven't found one that neatly allows estimates of future transactions that can be modified once the details are known.
I think web3 will disprupt a lot too. Whole new streaming services based on the Blockchain will evolve, with easier distribution and payment.
I did firefly-iii a few times when I was interested in historic trends. Wrote some custom tooling to auto import from the banks. But in a long term, annotating weekly/monthly just doesn't provide enough benefit for me to continue doing that. It's easier to do a big import every few years when I actually need the data.

If I was doing it again, I'd probably go with one of the cli text ledgers so the process is easier to preserve and closer to ETL.
Rust makes it easier and faster to create certain classes of applications, specifically applications that originally would be written in C and C++. Things that are hard in Rust, are even harder in C and C++. So Rust is liberating and 'rewriting' complicated applications can be satisfying because you can move faster. For me personally I am playing with Wayland and display streaming and it is very satisfactory so far to be doing this in Rust, whereas I would not want to try this in C++. The code I am writing is much simpler than the existing C++ code.
I had a dealership quote me $2600 for a required service package. The price of the parts was $400. It’s a bit of work but the labor was effectively over $366 per hour. I could have had the job done by an independent shop for $1000. When I pushed back, the service manager said he could do it for $1500.

I have a recall repair on the car as well so I think my final move is to use that as leverage to push the price down further. Getting the repair done by the dealer gets you a warranty by the manufacturer, which is the only additional value that I see.
What I really want is to be able to do is virtualize arm-based MacOS VMs on arm-based Linux, but I haven't found the time to figure out if it's possible.
> Actually something like traits (as concept) is what powers COM, WinRT, the basis of Objective-C protocols that influenced interfaces in more common OOP languages.

So? Giving up Rust-Traits doesn't mean that I will give up on interfaces as a whole.

I don't like the way C++ does interfaces, for example, but that doesn't mean that my ideal language won't have interfaces.

"She is also the head of the armed forces, who swear an oath of loyalty to her personally - not to Parliament, and certainly not to the people of the UK."

Speaking as someone who was just such a person (although at the time I did it, in the service I was in, there was no loyalty oath at all), while I can see the issue with this, I would really not have felt comfortable going on record as loyal to parliament or the the people of the UK. We should just bin it entirely; it's a job, with legal conditions and requirements. No need for any weird oaths.

Yes, I openly dismiss your petty and uncalled for attacks on me and the PoW blockchains entirely.
It is optimized quite seriously. I remember there was a comparison of it with I believe a BSD version, where the latter was thousands time more readable (although slower).
> Outside of movies these antics were confined to a specific (wealthy, male, usually white) demographic, though.

Um no, definitely not.

> Sure, culture has become more sensitive to these things overall

Decades of fearmongering in media, omnipresent surveillance and the buying off of all competent hackers did a good job of that.
From the Art of War:

All warfare is based on deception.

Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
Sure, like I mentioned in the article, you can embed the engine and the models in any web page to be run in a browser with proper WebAssembly and SIMD support.

You can have an example on how we did here [1] and test it here (I recommend using Firefox) [2]

That way you don't need a server and everything is processed in the browser, so no need of google translate, or any cloud service to have translations embedded in any website anymore.

What Ian Walker's study failed to do was measure the amount of traffic, let alone the oncoming traffic. As he did different parts of his data collection on different days and on different roads, this key measure which often affects how far a car is able to move out going past a cyclist is a very obvious parameter to take into account. Ian's data set has times of passes in it so it might be possible to crate a proxy for traffic density but I haven't attempted this. I think it's more valid to conclude this study has no credence than to draw any conclusion from it.
Thank you. A lot of folks in the comments currently seem to focus on whether or not they feel cryptocurrencies are legitimate at all, but this is the real crux of the matter.

I don't appreciate the government letting me buy things and then informing me I'm using them wrong. If they feel there is some negative externality associated with the good I'm buying then they should mitigate it there, not based on some holier-than-thou judgement about whether not not I'm applying it right.

This reminds me strongly of a house I once rented that had in the rental contract that the rental agency was allowed to "monitor my electricity use" so they could "give me advice on better spending" if I fell out of some undefined norm. Simply uncalled for.
> the factors that were in place 2-10 years ago are still intact

not all the factors - the relentless quantitative easing is no more. people seem to have forgotten that pre-2008 it was common to have cycles of booms and recessions.
It is very interesting how everyone rants about trust, but they are perfectly happy running their 'open-source' code on closed-source CPUs (Intel, AMD x86-64, Apple M1, etc) with closed-source firmware, and raves over how they 'don't know what a flag does', and how they want or even have 'full control' of their computers and the code that runs on them, which is not remotely true.

At the risk of running into a slippery slope, unless one single-handedly:

- audits the entire codebase for some open-source OS;

- audits the entire specification for an open-source ISA, and an open-source implementation of said ISA, such as RISC-V BOOM;

- locally compiles the audited codebase on the audited CPU, targetting the audited ISA;

one cannot claim to say 'I want to know what that flag does'.

For all we know, Intel might have NSA backdoors and might 'phone home' to some server. I understand the idealism behind 'trust is earned', but at some point, trust has to be given, because unless we are willing to make some serious compromises, we will never be in full control of the complete hardware-software stack.
I don't see any mention of their deprecation, is the linked page correct?

As an aside, Apple has been pretty good about adding support for WebGL 2.0 and WebGPU to Safari recently. I wonder if this will drive more people to build web apps instead of having to target Metal.
No, it's only logical.

Immoral is an extreme form of perverse and malevolent morality, or the lack of it.

Moral simply means "all the spectrum of things that are not immoral", or not immoral, which is a much larger category with a lot more nuances.

Immoral is also a subjective judgment, morality changes according to time, place, culture etc

Let's talk about ethics next time

So labeling something you don't like immoral is as dogmatic as labeling the abortion immoral just because 3 thousand years ago some guy wrote it in a book of fiction, while thinking that is not immoral means, in the majority of the cases, having no such strong opinion on other people's decisions, which we would consider the "obvious" choice not the dogmatic one.
> Who even use VScode professionally?

I do. And countless of developers I know, who were perfectly professional when I last checked. Many developers don't need multi-monitors. I understand if you need/want it but calling "who even use Vscode professionally" is kind of unthoughtful.
I think Amazon is on par with BigTech when it comes to software engineering, though the way they treat their workers in the warehouses has really hurt the overall reputation of the the company.

> It's not that they want to control the person. They want to control what is sent to the competitor.

Distinction without a difference. Shimano is using technical and legal means to prevent owners of their devices from using their property as they wish. And we have bought into the confusion that just because someone manufactured an item, they have some sort of legitimate claim to how it is used even after they sell it.

> There's a phrase "good fences make good neighbours".

I couldn't agree more. Which is why it angers me that Shimano is moving its fence, expanding into consumer's back yards. I don't want every company that sells me something to then try and control how I use that something.
