You have to be ruthless towards your own intuitions when investment. Human nature is absolutely geared towards buying high and selling low, and it isn't the first impression that gets you but the slow pressure in situations where social proof says you were wrong (although social proof proves nothing about money).

Just because someone was actively monitoring crypto & then missed out as the price went from $1 to $10,000 still doesn't mean they have misjudged. Even if crypto is the future - and I've become convinced that it is for privacy reasons - there was still scant evidence of that during Bitcoin's rise. There have been no great arguments circulating to explain why someone should buy in and a lot of the people who made money look like they just got lucky.
They will be more popular!
PySR: Symbolic Regression in Python for discovering formulae from neural nets
I honestly don't understand how you can possibly come to that conclusion, and in all honesty that people like you exist is part of why tech is so demoralizing these days. If a large chunk of Bitcoin adopters--or smart phone adopters or Internet users or ANYTHING--don't know how the technology they are using works and put themselves in a bad situation with it, it simply doesn't mean that the technology doesn't work... it just doesn't; and it certainly doesn't mean we should just give up and re-centralize everything. If you build something that can't be used wrong--or hell: that most people who aren't trained don't use wrong--you probably built something evil :/.

It's worth noting though that Go's way is just 40 characters more than Python with an inline comparison function and Go's verbosity.

If I need to reverse the order, it looks easier to do with Go (just reverse the operator) than with Python and Rust way (I guess both have something like an "order" additional parameter).

Rust and Python both feel more elegant but I actually like Go's way.

I hope this is good enough to completely replace VirtualDJ as the de-facto basic "bedroom dj" software used in the last 15 years or so.

Kotlin also discourages inheritance. It's opt-in, not opt-out, because classes are final by default: you need to explicitly mark them as "open" if you want to extend them. The same with functions if you want to override.
They run the computer carbon neutral and then use the excess heat to replace carbon derived heat. Hence, there is less carbon emission while the computer is running. Their definition is not broken, just based on comparison to the initial state (that emmits CO2) and not a zero emission state. Like Google's supposed carbon negativity by reducing the emission of other peoples cow sheds.
[EDIT: Made my argument clearer.]

Not a finance expert, but I disagree with what you're saying:

There's a feedback loop between:

1. The price of BTC, which depends on people's willingness to mine it (without which, BTC doesn't have security).

2. The willingness to mine BTC, which depends on the price. Why would you mine BTC if you're not sure whether you'll be able to sell it for more than you mined it for?

A decline in 1 can trigger a decline in 2, which can trigger a decline in 1, which can trigger a decline in 2.

BTC can have an end. Oh, and BTC is not like BitTorrent.

Pretty sure val/var in Kotlin comes from Scala.

Syntax wise the languages are quite similar (before we get to type systems).

At first I really hated how similar the keywords were (something like let/const seemed preferable).

After a few years of Scala you get used to it.

In fact val somehow feels "nice" and var feels "dirty" so you avoid it as much as possible.
It's chicken and egg. It will come, our grids are not ready, but perhaps these batteries can also discharge fast and you can charge your home battery during the day, charge your car when you come home, charge it through induction as your drive over a special track of highway. Many things are possible in the future, but we have to grow into it. In any case, this super fast charging is mostly relevant (as said in this thread) road side, where you can have special equipment. At home you can mostly charge over night.
I would agree that it actually seems to be going through a resurgence at the moment. The article comes to a similar conclusion by the end
Many electric cars have limitations on acceleration when the battery is cold.
I think these claims go against the way progress normally happens, organizations arising to distribute money to fix problems in the short term often are a precursor of a larger legislative fix.

If nobody is trying to fix a problem, nobody organizing around fixing a problem, why would the system think the problem was at all important?
That’s correct. If you’re a maintainer of a very popular gem, as of 15th August you’ll no longer be able to e.g. `gem push` if you haven’t enabled MFA on your RubyGems account. You will of course still be able to log in and enable it.

Enormous regressions? I could agree on “not great” but that was strong words. Haven’t really had a lot of trouble with the updates. I would say that macos 2014 and 2022 have a lot more in common than 2014 macos and current linux.

WeChat give this by default (but not for all languages and you cannot change the language of a given voice message). But it’s so slow because it does it in real time, so a 1 minute voice message (the maximum length in WeChat) takes 1 minute to transcribe.

I still don’t understand why the OS doesn’t provide that function in all instant message app: just show “transcribe with Siri” on any audio message on any app and be done.

At least as an accessibility setting for those who cannot even listen to those messages.

What I miss in Java is actually more the nullability, as the author points out. I prefer the Swift way of doing that. To me, it feels cleaner than the Kotlin way, despite being extremely similar. I think it boils down to var/let vs var/val.
> What stops a bunch of Stanford students from starting whatever club they want in their spare time?

Nothing, but greek system was advantaged over random non-greek friends groups or clubs. If you start own random non-greek club, the university wont guarantee or give you house for it. For the record, Standford always had plenty of students who were not members of Greek clubs. They created and participated in own spare time activities too.

In Europe, if your spare time club rents a house, it will have street number and no one will act as if it was great injustice. Based on article, that is destruction and homogenity. In Europe, if you fill the entire floor with sand and bulldozer it away to property you dont own, through property you dont own, the house owner will object - but in article university administrators are the bad guys for objecting.

How much would a carpenter pay for a fancy bench top for their workshop? I'm guessing not a lot, since they can make one themselves.

Programmers are toolmakers, and are therefore harsh critics of tools they use; just like a carpenter will tell you everything that's wrong with the design, and choice of wood that went into a pricey, but ultimately-affordable-to-a-carpenter bench top. Having access to cheaper, good-enough alternatives is part of it.
I'd corrupt the quote slightly to factor informational effects of propaganda:
"a wealth of [conflicting] information creates [an apathy] of attention and a need to [withdraw] that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it."

In this way, information sources can destroy attention rather than foster efficient allocation (which is hard work).
If I'm not mistaken, that's how Swift (which is syntactically most similar to Kotlin as far as I can tell) has it.

But "let" is already a thing in Kotlin (a scope function in the standard library).

In my experience, in practice "var" are an order of magnitude more rare than "val", so I'd be perfectly fine with "val" vs. "mutable". I wouldn't mind the verbosity - it would gently discourage the use of mutability, while making it very apparent wherever it's actually involved.
> I get why people send voice messages: it saves their time, allowing them to record their voice while doing other things.

Is that the case? I know in signal on android, the voice typing features of keyboards are disabled as a security feature because these leak your message to google ASR apis etc. I use voice typing to save time and sore thumbs tapping on a touch screen. I can see how when that's disabled people might just record a message and send the audio instead.
Maybe the solution here is to avoid the voice message all together and enable offline voice typing in the first place.
I have spent time at a court house. It’s called pleading guilty to a minor traffic violation. A cop lying or straight up making someone’s life hell for fighting is, in fact, something that happened the day I was there. Most everyone I know has either dealt with this or knows someone in their circle that dealt with this.

Colleague of mine needed to give me his credit card credentials a while ago. He just held the card into his webcam for me, but Teams blurred out the details automatically.

Oh, it's definitely just an illusion. You can take a suggestive picture of it, if that's your intention, but in fact if you took a couple pictures with a digital camera, few hours apart, you'd note that the Moon has the exact same pixel width in the pictures, regardless of it position in relation to the horizon. Moreover, the near-horizon pictures would actually show a lower pixel height, due to the atmospheric distortion.
In an alternative world where Bitcoin crashed and burned after it was launched but before you decided to invest you would feel that much smarter!

It's all very easy in hindsight, the trouble is to predict it accurately. A better way to look at this is to say that some people got lucky and some didn't.
As a C# Developer who occasionally uses Java I understand the sentiment. Java just feels dated. You have to do a lot by hand which should be done by the language.
And new features like streams are just a bad riff of .NET Linq, which is much better in ergonomics.
Finally, Generics are a big turn off, who ever thought that the Java implementation is a good idea was delusional.
It isn't happening for me at all in the examples.

In the same page they clearly state that the full moon's size varies due to its eccentric orbit. We all know the moon is sometimes clearly larger and that's the reason, this illusion stuff strikes me as mostly subtle b.s.
Just my thoughts on the illusion in case it's helpful.

I saw this illusion tonight when I suddenly saw the moon behind the top of a distant tree. I think the suddenness adds to the illusion, and the explanation of the brain's image processing reasoning about the size because it is compared to something distant feels right. It does not feel just a small amount bigger - at least double the usual size. Even as I looked at it, the illusion weakened. It was obscured by trees and building as I walked towards it, and again I saw it rise again over a building a little way off. The illusion repeated, though not as strong. Much later I saw the moon in the sky, and it looked normal size.

I do not have the illusion anywhere near as strongly when I look at that skyline photo, although I can sort of see what they are trying to describe.

I think many photos of the moon zoom in, greatly increasing the apparent size, and I don't think this is the same as the illusion, although in a way, comparing the moon to a building which is known to be large may contribute to the illusion we perceive when seeing it in real life (not in a photo).
Notes from the Bug Hunters Methodology – Application Analysis v1
The president does not have control over the international oil market, you need to understand that. There are much more powerful entities that can nudge it, at the same time it's a massive market, very likely the largest product market in the world, so power is also somewhat diluted.

The shift has not happened, there are no policies in place coming from the Executive or Legislative branches of US government doing any pressure on the market prices.

Please, read the arguments presented with supporting evidence from other comments and get off from this stubborn position that is only based on your assumptions and biases...

> 20th century libertinism peaked in the 70s and has been in retreat since then.

I agree with the 70s. The AIDS epidemic began in the 80s, which could have been a big reason. The wild and free way of life has been in retreat, and epidemics cause big chunks to be lost all at once. Maybe we'll look back on 2020s the same way: "Wow society was so wild and free up until the 2010s."

> ”Now let's imagine optimistically that the efficiency of the process is 99%, and a mere 1% is dissipated as heat. 7.2 kW take a serious cooling system to dissipate.”

Much of that heat is dissipated by the charger unit, not the car. The charger has massive heat sinks and fans etc, so not really a big deal!

The rest is just warming up the battery, which is a big heavy block which can store a lot of heat. This can be dissipated over time, which is actually very useful in winter! (heat pump scavenges battery heat to warm cabin, etc)

You need somewhere to physically store a secret, plus the ability to do some computation to turn that secret into a time-based one-time code. A lot of people do use their phone, but there’s nothing to stop you using a dedicated hardware token, or conversely just your computer (e.g. 1Password [0]) if you’re comfortable with keeping all your secrets in the same place.

Naturally there are security/convenience tradeoffs however you do it. The important thing is that, unlike with passwords, you never send the secret over the wire.

Their claim is also 100% wrong. The difference, of course, is intent. It's easy enough to ferret out the difference here: If you set up such a motion-triggered camera and a person walks through it, unknowingly resulting in a picture being taken, is it their picture?
Messages basically doesn’t work anymore. I had to disable Time Machine because of the thrash of indexing itself. The UI makes no sense anymore. They removed established shortcuts for… no reason? There’s some kind of pseudo-touch style going on. Like they plan to add a touch screen but didn’t. The iOS-ification continues.

MacOS is a clear second class citizen at Apple. Each of the least three releases has been worse than the one before. I hoped it was the last gasp of Ive but it’s apparently intentional. Or maybe nobody is in charge, which would make more sense.

At this point Linux looks like a better option.
Consider that the existing MVP for ascension is a neutral network.
The one nice and incredibly useful feature about the macOS system preferences is that the Search field actually works and "deep-links" directly to the right page. For instance type "dns" and you get a drop down "DNS servers", "DNS domains", "TCP/IP". Click on "DNS Servers" and you're right in the DNS servers settings page.

I've got a copy and still use it sometimes -- being able to immediately see nearby words (like "glad", "gladly", "gladness") is quite useful, which you'd miss just searching for "glad". Being able to see all uses on a hardcopy in a fixed position that doesn't scroll is helpful too, I find it harder to rationalise big lists when they're scrollable.

(I also use it to explain type checking to friends, given the number of times I've looked up a Hebrew word in the Greek dictionary, or vice versa).
While I love the project linked here, "voice" messages allow you to do more than talk. I've sent messages where I'm singing, or also where I'm reading a book chapter. It'd be sad if those things weren't possible anymore.
> the grid is not ready, we would need to upgrade hundred of meters of cable

I would compare this to the last-mile issues facing internet connections, eg gigabit fiber.

It’s a chicken-egg problem with not enough electric car demand leading to energy companies deciding that it’s not worth providing the right supply.
I think people who point to today's Oil revenue as proof of anything are fooling themselves. We all know that changing a country's energy strategy takes time, but once it happens it will permanently damage Russia. In the meantime, we just have to find ways to mitigate this (which I'm not sure has been done well), but the high prices are a great extra fuel to drive moving away from Russia oil.

The big thing that talking about Russian oil revenue misses is that basically the entire rest of their economy is fucked.

Probably a good way to characterize Kotlin. Scala has a lot of interesting features but also a lot of complexity. And not all of those features are necessarily very good. Arguably, Kotlin was born out of frustration with that as Jetbrains at the time rejected the notion of using Scala internally and instead started the long process of developing their own language. It was mainly intended to be a better Java but also to avoid some of the complexity of Scala.

Groovy's lack of compile time safety is like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. It's just not worth it for me. Kotlin gets you most of the language features but without doing that.
