Heathrow Express is likely used mostly by business travelers, who expense everything to their company. So the price doesn’t matter.
That has absolutely nothing to do with notifications and pop ups.
Well, we'd have to look at the cost of the hardware and maintenance and fallback remote operators and the R&D investment to evaluate whether a robotaxi fleet is indeed cheaper. And how much cheaper is it, exactly? 5%? 10%? 15%?

Would you pay a little more to have the most flexible, sophisticated intelligence on Earth (human brain + driver assist) or would you want to save a few dollars and risk having some dumb piece of software strand you in the middle of the road somewhere?

We all use Google Maps or Apple Maps when driving and most of us have seen these systems do boneheaded things. Just imagine the dumb things a robotaxi could do.

So robotaxis are perhaps mainly attractive to the very low income parts of population, people who might buy an inferior product to save a dollar or two. People who buy store-brand ketchup instead of Heinz ketchup even though it doesn't taste as good.

It's hard for a normal person to be excited about this.

Individual Income Tax Payments on Pace to Reach Record Level
Several varieties of T cells are very dangerous and like to murder other cells. In order to prevent them from going on a rampage, they have a switch called PD-1 that calms them down. This prevents various auto-immune diseases in healthy people.

Some varieties of cancer cells release a PD-1 ligand that turns off T cells when they get close to the cancer. So the cancer can "hide" from the immune system.

This monoclonal antibody blocks PD-1 on T cells, turning them into unstoppable murderers. The hope is that they preferentially murder the cancer cells. Wikipedia says that ~5% of patients get dangerous side effects from blocking T cell PD-1, probably because the unstoppable T cells attack healthy kidney or liver tissue. But for people with specific types of cancer, the hope is that turning the T cells loose will kill the cancer first.
Similar experiences and attitudes for me. Looking back, we were harsh on them. I’m sorry for my disdain especially after reading how many children went into programming or an IT career because of various AOL hacks.
Perhaps the solution to preventing complex systems from collapsing is to built in a reset button to rest and restart. Most of us became used to regularly restating our early PCs, which is how we delt with these complex systems collapsing. I speculate the human body does something similar when we sleep, which is an example of a highly complex system
An induction-friendly stovetop kettle is a pretty great option as well, for those with induction burners. I have found it about as fast as an electric kettle, but it saves counter space, and won't have to be replaced every 1-5 years. Maybe I have just had bad luck with inexpensive electric kettles, but they kept dying on me.

The art of doing nothing for things that do nothing for you
The US alone does ~2/3 of worldwide heart transplants, I think there is a tradeoff here. It's also not actually $1 million out of pocket for most people.
You’re assuming that the developer makes such a distinction when they send you a notification
yes, that’s my experience, though there is a thread parallel to your comment that disputes it.
First off, the medical reasons women take time off are protected by employment law in a variety of ways and most professional careers offer generous paid time off with FMLA protection on their careers. So the biological argument is specious. Note many fathers also get equivalent time off with the mom.

The specialization argument makes no sense. Why does it make sense for the mother to specialize for the family than the man? You made a large unexplained logical leap in that one that I don’t think is defensible.

The reason is economic and tradition at this point. Due to unfair compensation practice that rewards women less for the same work it makes more sense for her to not work. Tradition also compels a lot of couples in this direction. Both of these forces work to take women out of the work force.

The return to work force friction is very sad, and I honestly don’t understand it.
Indeed, hence the idea to store it in green hydrogen
Thanks for your feedback!

1) The pricing is 29.95 Euro and the license will be valid for all 1.x versions and there is no subscription. There are no plans for a 2.x at this point in time. Instead there are plans for quite a bunch of 1.x versions in the coming years to improve the product continually. But you are right. I will make this more clear on website.

2) I will look into this. Which iPhone are you using?
Their point is you have a lot to lose by bucking the status quo, so consciously or not, why fight it? One could also argue that fitting in with society tends to produce better rewards than not, so those less likely to fight it do well?

Either way hard to not notice that cries to ‘f the man’ tend to die out as income and age rise.
You misunderstood my argument.

If father specialises for work, he can devote 100%. If mother specialises for work, she can only devote 90% (or whatever, to account for birth & recovery in first year).

Therefore all things being equal (i.e. “controlling for other variables” in statistics) father specialising for work will be more profitable for the family than mother specialising for work. Everyone (well, every couple) is free to choose what they want, weighing tradeoffs along many dimensions (money isn’t everything, but it’s a lot) but don’t be surprised if choices are biased towards “economically sensible”.

Sure, you can also do things “equally” but I estimate you’ll be getting less, on average (i.e. you will earn less per day working 3x per week than 5x (or 6x))

Yes!

For allotments, the RHS and the NSALG are the places to go, they have information on growing, allotment etiquette, seasonal produce etc:

https://www.nsalg.org.uk/

As for permaculture, I follow this magazine, which is worth every penny:

And as for finding an allotment, there's a handy gov.uk service that will tell you which local authority to get in touch with:

Most allotment sites have a waiting list, but there's always some turnover as people lose interest (or in some cases, die of old age!).
This highlights something that's amused me for a while about our "privatised" rail system - the private companies are mostly owned by foreign state transport companies.
I don't think this article is very convincing, as far as the complexity of a system having anything to do with its potential speed of collapse. The article's first example (the Romans) collapsed due to resource shortage (mining becoming harder). Their society WAS complex, but that isn't why it collapsed.

Human grown societies tend to under-invest in redundancy, for the sake of more growth, so our societies end up rather brittle. But their complexity is not itself to blame, in my view.
> quic were kinda ramrodded into the HTTP standards process

QUIC took 4 years and 34 drafts to get standardized. The final IETF version is significantly different from Google initially came up with. So, no it most definitely was not ramrodded through.
Oh yeah I definitely do that with the "rate our app" if I've not so much as done more than open it up lol
At Baylor ~20 years ago we had to compete with other students in a required freshmen/sophomore comp sci class.
The kid was annoying but if the discussion was closed and restricted immediately it wouldn't have amounted to much (Granted, it was a very late Saturday night for Epic's timezone, so I'm not surprised it lasted a few hours). The follow up is what made this headline news.

Now the dude who posted goatse and ruined the whole thing should be completely banned from Github. I guess I see why image uploads were restricted for so long there.
Yeah, and they gave us IE6.
> can effectively enforce the decision on their vendors unilaterally,

I can second that, someone I know personally who is building well-reputed longboards in his shop with a few friends, thought a few year ago it would be a good idea to sell through Amazon. Let's just say it didn't went well. Amazon forced them to take basically any returned longboard no matter how obviously it was destroyed.
There is a long history of non-fiat currencies before the current system. Would you mind quantifying some of the measures that you think make fiat a fiasco compared to e.g. gold standard?

Here is some background data:

Which is why strict app store policy enforcement is the only way to really end this.
But given that many of those business travellers will be going to/from the City (Liverpool Street) or Canary Wharf, the Elizabeth Line is going to be a much more attractive proposition even disregarding the price difference.

I expect Heathrow Express to be quietly abandoned in a few years' time. Network Rail and GWR would quite like the trains off the GWML fast lines.
I think it’s less a matter of complexity and more a matter of dependencies. In the case of our society, we have enormous dependency on centralized systems for energy, heat, water, medical, and more. That is where the real risks exist.
Agreed on the For Dummies books - the ones I've seen have all been surprisingly good intros to their subjects. Approachable and informative.
Just speculation, but I think complexity provides decisive advantages, at least initially, and that's why we see complex societies dominate. Human groups that can avert catastrophe by adding complexity will do so, and those who do not may be unknown to history.

If civilization survival were as simple as KISS, we probably wouldn't struggle with it as much. We need smart, strategic complexity, and humans are limited in their strategic smarts.
You've mischaracterized features of Brave. Our code is open-source, it's not difficult to literally "go to the source," (https://code.brave.com and https://github.com/brave) and test the claims of others. You claim that Brave profits off of user data--show me where that is the case. Brave does not collect any user data; we were found to be the "most private" popular browser by reputable researchers in this regard: https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf

Brave has never been "caught" collecting user data, or abusing user data. Not a single instance of this exists. We believe in "Can't be evil" over "Don't be evil," which means we aim to preclude the potential for abuse at the design stage of ever major effort tied to Brave, and our services/offerings. On the other end, the harvesting and leaking of user data is [standard] in all other major browsers.
Lots of apps make you opt out, but it really isn't that hard to find. Most apps on my phone don't even get the right to notify me. I prefer pull rather than push as far as notices go, unless they're critical like from my bank/CC/gf :)
Which can be solved by finding a competitor with less abusive practices.
part of it is timing. This happened late Saturday night in America. If this happened during normal daytime hours it woulda been shut down in a few messages.

Also, I'm sure Github has spam filters itself, so obvious attempts at ads may not even make it to the PR discussion.
I think you are reading too much into the story.

One reason for the lunch is to try and relax a bit and test “cultural fit”, which is more like a blind date between two people to see if there is any spark. Ideally it is a two way conversation, where the candidate and the interviewers get to judge each other.

There is a problem where cultural fit “tests” are heavily biased against minorities - for example most any sports discussion is dominated by your social class.

Enjoying brain teasers matches a particular type of geek, and the discussion likely veered or was encouraged in that direction by the candidate. It wasn’t Machiavellian, which perhaps you are more responsive to?

100%.

> I.e. if your friend took sugar water that you told them had LSD, would they have the same panic disorder?

I see what you're saying. Extremely unlikely, because the effects of psychedelics are not caused by simple knowledge of ingestion. I know this, because I once got sold bad LSD, with close to zero active ingredient, yet I assumed it was a very strong dose, and there were no effects whatsoever. Generally, adding to this, the effects of psychedelics are so extremely strong and all-encompassing this is completely out of the question. Don't take my word for it, ask anyone with experience or read experience reports.

> And also not just the one friend of course, but repeated across many trials.

Sorry, I'm not an expert in this field, I'm a software engineer. Just wanted to share my subjective experiences.
Beef Stew – Lost Comment?

Anyone have it cached somewhere?

This looks really neat. Haven't taken much time to look in depth, it it took me a while to find info on whether this was k8s or podman related. Maybe the docs could make it a little more obvious. (for those wondering it's k8s)

Would mirrord actually work with podman? It would be pretty neat to setup something akin to a canary deployment

Stroustrup's C++ books are great. You can read them like a regular book. Scott Meyer's books read well. Kernighan & Ritchie's C book is very good. Mac OS documentation in the 1990's was excellent.

I feel there has been a decline in the quality of tech writing since the internet became popular. Today's books are often extremely verbose while not conveying content well.

I faced this issue while writing my application for online spaces...

I noticed that I had written a feature called server notification, and was about to start using it to notify users of things which the server wanted them to know, but which they had not asked for.

I decided to rename the feature internally to "server response notification", which implies that all of the notifications are in response to a user query. This helped me focus on what the feature should be used for.

I remember this too, from our 4th-grade "G&T" math teacher telling us the story. Although I use the formula so rarely that I don't keep it memorized, whenever it does come up, I think back to that day in class and that moves the gears enough that I can derive it empirically pretty quickly from small-number examples and the knowledge that it involves two consecutive numbers.
For what it's worth, it sounds like you had a childhood that was very different than what kids today are growing up with, at least in my area.

By around 2014 the cool kids in my local high school were the nerds, and it's pretty much stayed that way. I worked with a neighborhood youth group where the kid who was at the center of everything was super into fortnite and coding. When he introduced himself to me the first thing he said was "I'm pretty much a nerd"—and he said it with pride! A few of the other kids felt the need to establish their nerd cred, too. This was in a neighborhood in the poorest part of a nearly-rural town. Their parents were mostly in trades, not tech.

"Nerd" has become a badge of honor that is sought after and claimed by kids, not a derogatory label assigned by others.
It can't be cheap, and in any high quality medical system apart from US thats not a concern for the patient, ever, at all.

One of those cases where US individualism and utter lack of social thinking (completely unrelated to socialism/communism but many simpler folks fail to distinguish that) screws up needful parts of society
I don't think it actually makes that much sense from an economical perspective if you look at it carefully.

First, the choice is not binary (i.e. mother or father stays at home). There's alternatives like working reduced hours (32 hours) and using day care. This is common practice in a lot of developed countries.

Second, the cost of the wage gap resulting from suspending your career for a few years, accumulated over your entire career length is really high. My income doubled in the last 5 years. Using day care then suddenly isn't that expensive at all, at least not in my country. But you have to make the right calculations, and look at the cost of reduced future wages as well.
So, don't do business in Germany? Because they sure changed the rules, starting in the mid-30s.

Don't do business in France? Russia? Saudi Arabia? China?

Are there any countries which have never changed the rules?
I had a bit similar story, though it went a different way, and prompted a few other thoughts...

Earlier in my career (a few years before Google seemed to start the current techbro rituals), I went to an interview at a big-name CS dept. spinoff company which had the same problem: CS students and professors with no professional software engineering experience deciding what's most important for professional software engineers to know.

The interviewer and I were both senior engineers at well-regarded companies, but he gave me a coding exercise (this was not usual, at the time), and it was a CS101 tree traversal coding exercise in C. I'd happened to remember that day of class from community college, and I just did the exercise. Nothing to brag about.

Then he said "no one ever did it that fast before". So, feeling very confident and a bit disappointed/surprised, I started telling him what I thought was a better way to do interviews for software engineers. (Spoiler: it didn't involve regurgitating CS101 algorithms a person randomly happened to recall.)

I got the offer, and accepted the job, partly because we had a collegial discussion about the interview methods. Very smart and likeable people. But there were a lot of people who arrived from top university departments not knowing how to do software engineering nor even how to do non-homework computer programming, but they apparently passed the interview of the CS undergrads' idea of what's important to software engineering.

(Actually, the person from there who I noticed on LinkedIn many years later as eventually most accomplished from there, was the only one I knew came from a commuter state school, rather than from a big-name CS department. I don't know whether he would've gotten in, once techbro rituals took over. Maybe he would've, if his school's department had switched to teaching to the techbro interview; though, then, maybe that would've been at the cost of whatever skills development later helped him be so successful.)

> It's unlikely mandating open standards would result in that flavor of lock-in.

Considering the difficulty of switching from IPv4 to IPv6 and extremely creative ways to update TCP (before everyone gave up), I'm not sure of that.
A lot of the relevant researchers basically define complex systems as the systems that you don't or can't understand well enough to simply reset and restart, nor would that be an appropriate intervention strategy most of the time. Should we drain lakes and put in new soil and water every time there's an algal bloom? Similarly, you can't truly reset an economy, or a polity with anything we'd call "reasonable methods".
The questions I got were very specific to playing card patterns. The one I remember best was "How many times does it take to perfectly cut and shuffle a deck of cards before it is back in original order". Spoiler: A "perfect" shuffle is called a Faro shuffle and the holy grail of false shuffles to master as a magician. When a deck is cut evenly at 26 cards (doable with practice or a slightly bent or irregular marker card) and Faro shuffled correctly eight times, the deck will return to its original order.

If I really liked the company I might indulge your question, but it would annoy me unless you were a game development company and this was a real problem someone faced recently.

I general I don't like live coding questions because they don't reveal anywhere near the quality of work I produce if left alone to think for a bit. If the questions pertain to a real world problem I will noamally indulge them though. As an interviewer I don't make people do them. I often do live code -review- to see if people can understand code and spot security flaws or bugs as I find that a more useful skill than coding anyway, and code review -is- something actually often done together with peers in the real world.

I sometimes ask for people do take-home tests if they have no open source projects I can reference, because seeing how people code on their own is how I find out if they can do the job. If they use search engines to help, I don't care. That is how real life works.

That said, I only do this if I know the employer is willing to pay them for the time. Work simulation goes both ways.

If I am going to make it like real work, I need to pay for it like real work.

Their origin was connected to other small tribes, and it was complicated but i will research it in the future.
