This has been kicking my ass lately as I am trying to build a generic GL abstraction over the past year or so. OpenGL is in such an odd state that the actual graphics hardware hasn’t changed significantly in a decade or more, but the API certainly has grown to be more elegant. OpenGL 2-3 had a nice way of doing things, 3.3-4.1 is a weird and inconsistent API, and 4.3+ is nice again. But good luck finding support for 4.1+ anywhere. Not on macs, not on old cards, not on web, not on mobile.

So in 3.3-4.1 land, you get to do the exact same things you’d do in 4.3 land, but in more tedious ways programmatically, because the drivers and implementations decide how elegant you are able to make your code and abstractions. The commands that end up on the GPU are the exact same regardless but the developer experience is highly variable.

My point is GL versions do not delineate features nor performance enhancements past a certain point, they delineate periods of programmer happiness. It is solely up to the drivers, not the hardware, not the actual machinery, to determine this metric. GL, being a standard rather than an implementation, suffers for this. I happily await webgpu finalization.
Give me the data where it says how much gas stoves contribute to climate change.

It's probably so insignificant that it's purely a point for virtue signaling. I've had a gas stove for years and I still haven't needed to refill the tank, and it's not even that big of a tank. Shipping your new induction stove will probably use more gas than you will in a decade of cooking.

Induction stoves can't be used for things like Woks since you need the heat to come up to the sides of the wok, not just in the part that touches the stove. Many other cuisines need gas stoves to properly work.
Adele sells so much vinyl they had to build a factory line just for her releases
I don't understand why Lyft has to do anything here. The red light runner is the responsible party.
That's still a benefit. Pipes leak, so by burning all the gas in the same place, you lose way less gas to leaks, and you also gain efficiency since big generators have less waste than small ones.
> By the way, this is why the gas company is paying for articles like this.

That's such huge coincidence! During a break I started to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX2aZUav-54 (still on the first few minutes) and the author talks _exactly_ about that, where a gas company (industry?) is paying people to post #cookingwithgas videos.
Note also the people on the Democrat side who claimed that the election of 2016 was invalid. They were fewer in number and didn't get any traction, and they didn't do anything, just shot their mouths off. Still, it's concerning that both sides have people who are willing to go down that road.

Imagine that in 2024, Trump runs again. (Please, God, no!) And imagine that he wins - legitimately, genuinely wins, with no funny business in any state. Are the Democrats going to accept it? Or are they going to say, no, that's illegitimate, because all these states have extreme Republicans fudging the numbers?

Now imagine that it's the exact same scenario, except that Trump wins because those people fudge the numbers.

Will you be able to tell which scenario actually happened?

That's why the Democrats crying "illegitimate" in 2016 was so bad. They cried wolf when there wasn't one.

(Nothing in this post is intended to deny or minimized the insanity and the moral bankruptcy of the Republicans' response to Trump's 2020 loss.)
> How's ripping out and replacing existing infrastructure going to reverse climate change? Not to mention that CA is about to have a lot of electricity shortages that will likely necessitate the burning of gas to generate it.

Burning gas at a power plant to generate electricity is still much more efficient than burning gas at home generate heat for cooking.
It boggles my mind that people would continue to use a car that randomly breaks without their input.
I'm not sure if you're working from the right definition. At least by revenue and number of employees, SpaceX would still be Mittelstand, I believe. If you're thinking smaller, the term "lifestyle business" was once coined for such endeavors by, I believe, 37signals.

As for the larger scale: every startup is expected to settle into some size with little further growth at some point. The "unicorn" is a rather new trend, and it's only a small fraction of even VC-funded startups (although it's a larger fraction by funding or attention).
I don't think abrupt braking constitutes reckless driving (maybe it varies by location), and it seems like it would be pretty easy to fight by claiming you saw a deer/etc in the road. If the cop says he didn't see it, you respond with some variation of "unsurprising because you were following me too closely to see anything else". Of course, none of this absolves Tesla from fixing their software.
Researchers find large cost benefits for companies with Machiavellian CEOs
And there you have it. The essence of environmentalism.

Find a small problem, propose drastic measures to counter it, end up making the problem worse.

Then, later, accuse everyone of impeding progress, and that there is an urgent need for even more drastic measures.
That's actually pretty funny. The Tesla is definitely a different type of car.
I guess 'rationalism', as a name, calls a certain kind of person out of the ether:

1. They like rationality, and feel it's opposed by 'irrationality'.

2. They want to be part of some 'rational group'.

3. They're ignorant enough not to know the name is already taken.

4. They're ignorant enough not to know that the name means pretty much the opposite of what they believe. (A real rationalist, for instance, probably wouldn't be interested in modern science).

5. They're ignorant enough not to know that 'rational' and 'irrational' are usually demarcate lines of social hierarchy, not lines of theoretical commitment.

This is an attractive pitch, so obviously, loads of people jump on. I think the main thing that's nice about it is that no real work is called for. Every smart white kid from a nice background has been called 'logical' or 'rational' at some point, because (5), so it's a value they identify with. It's a young group, full of energy, because the internet is biased young, and young people go for (2) through (5).
Pursuit of rationality can be paradoxical in a sense, insofar as believing yourself capable attaining rationality is fundamentally irrational. You aren't a Vulcan, you're a Human. To err is human. All humans are irrational some of the time and if you believe yourself capable of being better than that, you're only proving yourself wrong with that very belief.

Rationality done right is the pursuit of an unobtainable goal that yields better-than-average results even as you ultimately fall short of the ideal. So, basically like any other form of self-improvement. When you inevitably hit a setback, reorient and adjust your approach. But don't beat yourself up when you continue to fall short, because you will. We all will.
Cooking is absolutely the last human process that should be de-carbonized.
Brake checking is (usually) illegal in the US, albeit hard to prove without a dash cam or witnesses.

So no, it's not the case that people trailing too closely is the problem. It's the case of the Tesla requiring, without good reason, the car behind them to brake hard to avoid the collision. This is dangerous and (usually) illegal.

I've never had a shifting cable break on me (despite being an ultra-marathon and touring cyclist for 20-30 years, bike commuter for 15+ years, and more). I don't know what you mean by "very hard to access for maintenance" - the most maintenance I ever do is maybe add a few drops of lube inside any able housing once every few years. The cable and ratchet do not really interact with each other.

Electronic shifting involves non-user-repairable and definitely not-on-the-road maintenance, which for me personally is a negative (even though it is true that I would likely not be able to repair a cable issue on the road.
I didn't read this and suddenly think "oh my god- the whole establishment is wrong! How thankful I am that some rational person has done the hard math for me to explain why ivermectin is a magic cure".

The current medical opinion is that ivermectin only appears to have an effect when it's actually treating an underlying condition (parasitic infection). I don't see that changing any time soon; certainly nobody has shown any truly strong data that resisted multiple attempts at falsification supported ivermectin being really effective against COVID, itself.

As a biologist who works with data- it's realyl easy for smart people to read studies and totally fool themselves. That's what I think happened here.
Does Tokio have a concurrency model similar to Go's?
I've completely stopped using Autopilot whenever there is a vehicle behind me (unless it's a highway traffic jam and I'm going <25 mph) because of phantom braking. I only use it when it's completely empty, which of course doesn't happen very often. It's just too unpredictable and I have no interest to be dangerous to others because I want to play with some tech.
It's approximately equivalent to admitting you've pirated movies.

There are clam strips and fried whole belly clams. The latter are definitely better but you apparently don't like clams in general.

That said, as I get older I find most deep fried things are better not deep fried so I'll pretty much take steamers (steamed clams) by preference these days.
Well “I do read fiction” and “I prefer audiobook” are mutually exclusive. Listening to someone reading a book is not reading a book.
I guess there's a lot of complexity I'm missing. Is it something like this:

1. Customer original bill (variable - user provided) e.g. 100

2. Saving (variable - user provided) e.g. 9

3. Saving percentage (calculated) e.g. 9%

4. Billed Percentage (variable based on savings percentage?) e.g. 25% x 9

So you would have a billed percentage "rate card" that depends on variable factors like the customer bill plan, the amount/percentage saved etc? Is that the tricky bit?
One Website to Rule All Passwords
It depends on the use case. The short and simple answer is avoid libs that rely heavily on them, and use structs and enums. This gets into the area of application code vs libraries. A simple example, for say, a struct used to interact with a bus on a MCU is to use a `I2c` struct, instead of `I2c<Output<OpenDrain<PA5<Af5>>>, Output<OpenDrain<PA6<AF5>>>>` etc. God help you if the library that uses the latter doesn't document it using examples, because the auto-generated Rust docs won't help.
Even if you have DKIM, SPF and DMARC all set up, at least Microsoft still seems to give a decent weight to IP reputation and assign a negative reputation to unknown/low use IPs.

Existing infrastructure is emitting CO₂. The stuff we replace it with won't. The gas pipes that are shut off will no longer leak methane.

The next century will be dominated by how we deal with the last century's monumental carbon emissions. We went from 300 to 400 ppm by burning immense amounts of fossil fuels. To go from 400 back to 300 will take a bit of effort. No single policy—in isolation—will "reverse climate change". But all of them will.

You contradict the parent statement, that Uber drivers can see the rate before accepting the ride. Sounds like the ability to set their own price to me.
Coding errors happen, I think the scandal is the credit score system in general.

Its lack of transparency and the power given to these companies is what makes these problems to have bad consequences.
I don't take notes because I read primarily for entertainment, in both fiction and non-fiction -- I have no need to recall in detail the contents of a book or to tie them into some overarching system, because I'm not an author or academic or even somebody who writes blog posts, and very little of what I read is related to my work. If I really need to I can always go back and dip into a book again if I want to look something up.
There is no evidence it is effective. The papers claiming to show its effectiveness are riddled with errors and have been retracted.

Very true, but in recent times it has been much easier to try to pay a fair price. That is until covid hit where it became a sellers market. However it looks like we might have another 6more months before it switches back to a buyers market the way things are going.

For example when I want to buy a car:
I start at Carmax which I know its the highest price i can pay for the car. In history I have always been able to get a used car for 2.5K -4K cheaper elsewhere .

This is typically how it goes.

1. I determine which make,model, year car I want.

2. Determine what carmax has it listed for and make that the highest overpriced value for the car.

3. I send out emails and call dealers for similar cars ( millage,model,wear , etc) give them my price that is under 2.5K - 4K less than carmax.

4. they say sure come on in.

5. The games begin and the bs runs from the salesman script that tries to convince me that a manufactured car in the 100Ks is a custom one of a kind vehicle that I will never be able to buy again.

6. i Say here is my price and the good cop salesman than sends me to the back to the sales manager who says I will put him out of business if he sells me that vehicle for that price.

7. I say I understand then I walk out and he lets me walk out.

8. A few days or even a month later he calls me back says he can do the deal then send me back to the sales manager again.

9. the Sales manager than says oh sorry we cant do that price because its a cash offer or that I have to use his preferred loan provider. Or tries to convince me to take his loan provider anyways and then cancel it by paying cash or refinance it a week later.

10. I walk out again or I get the car. One case I had to walk out again until I got another call to come back. In most cases I only waste about an hour in the dealership all together talking to the salesguy and manager, since when the send me to the back to the sales manager I typically tell them I have 15 minutes to make it happen or you can call me back when you have all the information you need to make the decision.

So atleast today we have the no haggle places now to tell us what is the ripoff price for the car and not the dealership sponsored bs MSRP or the kelly blue book crap.

The crazy thing is that I actually want to buy the car from carmax because I do like the experience better, but its not worth paying 2.5K to 4K more for an equivalent car.
I'm a fan of ClimateTown's videos. My girlfriend is in the oil and gas industry and the latest video on who is to blame for gas prices was a real treat for her.
You can't avoid traits and generics entirely, but you can get by with far less than the norm (which is simpler, has some powerful code-reading advantages, and some expressiveness drawbacks). Personally I keep using Vec<T> and other hashmaps, I generally prefer match over .value_or().map(...) functional-style Option/Iterator chaining (though my opinion is unwelcome in some "oh-so-accepting" Rust spaces), prefer type methods over trait methods (which you can't even call unless you `use` the trait into scope), etc. Unfortunately when building generic data structures, you sometimes need complex lifetime and trait Send/Sync/Sized bounds (but I try to switch approaches and sometimes write duplicated code, whenever a particular abstraction approach starts requiring complex HRTBs and such).

Words and meanings change over time and depending on the context. Strangely you claim it's ignorance but then give supporting reasons why someone might label this "rationalism".

Full disclosure: I hate the appearance of modern campagnolo group sets. I think they ruined the elegance that was so present in the late aughts. They still work very, very nicely though. I would likely not put them on a new bike though, just because of the aesthetics.

Because that is why the OSes exist in first place, to provide common services to applications, otherwise we could still code like in the old 16 bit days, a bit like Arduino nowadays.

Windows is still trying, hence why now WinUI 3.0, WinAppSDK and packaged applications.

Likewise Ubuntu hasn't given away snapd, rather doubled down on it.

Yet none of them are as enforceable as iOS and Android are. It isn't only the program that is sandboxed, plugins are also required to be installed as separate packages and communicate over IPC with the host.
Here's another chart which I think is evidence in the direction of other major universities [1] engaging in a similar extent of affirmative action: https://cdn.static-economist.com/sites/default/files/imageca...

I've only lived in apartments that have had had gas ranges or connections in Philly, Tokyo, and Chicago.

The biggest annoyance after my latest move was that every single apartment had flat top electric ranges so I didn't even have option of preferring apartments with gas ranges.
You could be running gas through fuel cells if you want, still not as efficient as amortizing existing infrastructure. This reminds of the EV debacle, you should be buying a used Prius or walking places if you care about the environment, everything else is just posturing.
I do take a lot of notes. I wouldn't characterize it as huge, but one of the perks of reading e-books is that you can highlight without damaging the book itself. I take anywhere from 15 to 80 notes per book, and then transfer them to a word document for further research. Ninety percent of my notes are about things I want to research further, rather than quotes.

The one exception where I literally took like hundred of notes was from the book "This is how they tell me the world ends" which has a 50 page word file that you can download from the author's site that contains all the bibliography and online resources she used to write the book. I've gone through each and every one of the references. There are thousands of them in there.
It's a fascinating community, in some regards. Scott is among the few people where I consciously notice that they are highly intelligent. He's also a decent writer and, despite my lingering fear, has not gone down the Glenn-Greenwald-pipeline into obnoxious contrarianism.

...and then there is the rest of the community. They cargo-cult all the phrases and hobbies and opinions, but it's like when you wore that first suit: it wasn't yours, you didn't have the shoulders, and everyone but you knew it looked ridiculous. Seriously: even the other well-known people from that community (whose names I've since forgotten) are so obviously cosplaying the intellectualism. Even in the natural science I studied, I would not be able to identify the smart and the not-so-smart papers or professors with such ease.
Oops, that's right. I thought the answers were listed in the manual.
WTF.

Time to start working on an open alternative to this!
Of course, the unsafe conditions aren't associated with braking, but with the failure of the trailing car to leave adequate room for their own braking. The accident here would happen whether the leading car had a justifiable reason to brake or not, and the trailing driver would be responsible in either case.
Last time I looked into it (I run a mailserver and mailman list for one of my hobby groups), S/MIME wouldn't change your "spamminess" reputation score.

DKIM, DMARC, and SPF do, though, and basically are table stakes if you want your mail (especially mailinglist messages) to go through to people at major providers.
I wrote one of those apps (I'm not going to say which one for anon reasons)! It was the first (and last) JS app I ever wrote. Its been over a decade, but I remember liking the SDK.

My understanding is that the driving logs are only sent to Tesla when you take your car in for service. In addition, I imagine not a lot of people use the bug report feature, so most of the phantom braking in the logs and footage aren't even identified/used.
you know even minor politicians have staff who handle this kind of things for them, right? Especially if this person is writing very often, it's unlikely to get elevated to trump's actual attention, because the people who handle the mail recognize someone who sends tons of letters.
Somehow it looks to me like it will take much more time to rump up our electricity production, especially from renewable sources, than switching at some stage to electric stoves and cars. Not that I mind improving the situation in all fronts but it certainly not the main issue that we need to focus on. I don't even believe climate change is such an issue but I also don't mind trying some improvements to appease people who are worried, it is just that we need at least to focus on the main problems and make it in a way that will not be too costly and bankrupt us all.
