Fully agreed. Personal aviation is ludicrously inefficient and still often remains outside of meaningful regulation in key ways like using leaded fuels. Poisoning the globe and locales for one person’s convenience should always be questioned as a sign of inequality too far gone
The claims made by Celera have always been aggressive - and I hope they’re real. Why add more claims? Why not just deliver on what they currently offer?

This seems like a red flag and possibly indicates shenanigans.
From the article:

> Jason Yuan has promoted the idea of “fidgetability” where, similar to a key fob or lighter, digital actions can be designed to feel satisfying.

I love fidgeting. I used to have a switch tumbler in my pocket just to turn it off / on when I didn't have anything to do with my hands. I think I would've enjoyed a checkbox that allowed you to drag it slightly to check it instead of just tapping. You can't add "fidgetability" with just flashy animations and sfx. You need something to do with your thumb: turn it on and off, feel the thing respond, turn it half way, try to keep it there before it snaps into place, that kind of thing.

I read an article some time ago that argued phones are the worst tools for our hands. While everything else is designed to use the entire hand or at least a few fingers while providing subtle feedback on every action that requires us to exercise multiple muscles to control properly, the phone only requires your thumb.
And Librem 5, and Pinephone.
This is a really really great presentation.
If you really are, my recommendation is to get stern with your responses. I got them to stop for a little while by just asking them to stop, and then to stop entirely by asking again while mentioning who I sent my previous request to. Like "Hi John, please stop contacting me", and then a few months later like "Hi Steve, a few months ago I asked John Doe (johndoe@) to stop contacting me". The second step seems to have been the trick.
Same, I subscribed a few months ago and i think it's pretty amazing. Esp the weekly cadence: turns out that being up to a week behind on major news items is quite the blessing. More often than not, the dust will have settled and the Economist can write a balanced analysis.

Parallel Search Speeds Up Time Travel Debugging by 4x
Yes, I made exactly that point above. But the point I'm making is that long distance transmission of water is also expensive from an infrastructure standpoint, possibly even more expensive than power (and also sometimes has transmission losses, depending on how they're moving it)
One misspelling, mixed metaphor, missing contraction.

Nobody writes flawlessly. It is hard to find your own mistakes, much less understand if content will make sense to someone else.

An editor is someone who can read your work, help catch errors and suggest improvements.

No you don't need to go pay someone, but either trade editing with a friend or find another way to compensate whoever is providing editing for you. I usually buy my editors dinner but adjust based on how much time investment you are asking of them.
This is bizarre; are you just reciting random terms you picked up somewhere? Of course none of this reaches any level of "harassment" or "cyberbullying".

> Seriously? Do you not know Musk's family background?

Musk hasn't inherited hardly any money at all (a couple thousand when he left SA and a bit more later when he started his first company). I think you're the one who doesn't know Musk's background.
For every engineer who got fired, there are 100 waiting to take their place.

Nice try, but no. Employees don't feed employers.
Musk wants attention and money to do whatever he wants. Everything else is negotiable.
> Everyone and their mother knew that printing money since 2008 was going to blow up one day.

You can't "predict" that something will cyclical will happen on some indeterminate timeline then claim success when it eventually does. Impactful actions have pretty immediate results. So if you "predicted" that the actions of 09-10 to have an effect, if effect didn't happen by like 2012, your prediction was wrong. The economy is way too complicated to predict out more than a few years because it's constantly undergoing major shifts and changes.

Inflation is being experienced globally, even in regions with little/no economic ties to the USA. And the USA is experiencing less inflation than in many other countries. This suggests that the underlying cause is external to the USA and whatever actions Americans are taking in response is more effective than what other countries are doing.
> My point was that if this was the case, your Python code is probably suboptimal.
Sure, you are comparing against naive implementation as well, but if performance is a concern, don't do naive Python :)

I agree, and I'll go further: if performance could be a concern and you aren't certain that even optimized Python is up for the task, don't do Python. :)

I don't know how optimized these SSGs are, but given how frequently this complaint occurs and how popular they are, I would expect that someone would have tried to optimize them a bit. Even assuming naive implementations, tens of seconds versus tens of milliseconds for an I/O-bound task is pretty concerning.

> Yes, it's easy and sometimes even idiomatic to write non-performant Python code. Getting the most out of pure Python is hard and it means avoiding some common patterns.

It probably shouldn't be easy for someone to write non-performant Python code when they're trying desperately to write performant Python code. :)

> Getting the most out of pure Python is hard and it means avoiding some common patterns.

And even then, you're probably going to be coming in 10-100X slower than naive Go/Java/C#/etc unless your application happens to be a good candidate for C-extensions (e.g., matrix math) or if it really is I/O bound (a CRUD webapp). It honestly just seems better to avoid Python altogether than try to write Python without using "common patterns" (especially absent guidance about which patterns to avoid or how to avoid them).
> Employees should sort of organise [..]

It's not clear whether employees should be using company resources and company time to organise against the company or its management. Is that something we think is a given right? If so, why?

There is a reason that during a (legitimate!) strike pickets have to stand off their employer's property. We had that in the 70s with the NUM, we had that in 2010 when BA strikers were prohibited from entering (private) Heathrow property[1]

> the idea that they're doing so to promote tolerance is the most Orwellian bullshit take imaginable

1) there's quite a lack of tolerance left of centre, and 2) context is everything.

Editors are expensive. There's also a reason most publishers who have stopped using them have experienced a major decline.

Skilled labor is expensive. Editors are skilled labor. Those who use them will benefit from that labor.
Good. Why do people keep being activists in the workplace for this kind of issue.

I could understand if it’s bad working conditions or discrimination.

But bruh.

People need to grow up and do work at work then be activists outside of work.

> That’s not really how I see it. The case is shocking in that it has revealed that some rights that we thought that we had, cannot be enforced in law.

I don't know what right this is, but in the UK there's no right to do anything with classified information. Directly the opposite: the official secrets act makes it a crime to share it, distribute it, etc. The only real legal option you have if you find some classified information lying on a train (say) is to hand it to the police.

There's no exemption for journalism and it doesn't matter if you have been 'notified' under the act (that just changes the penalties) or if you are British or not (You're on UK soil, UK law applies). Classified information belonging to foreign allied governments would definitely fall under the OSA.

If that's shocking, ok, but that's the law and has been since the last time the OSA was updated.

I am not a lawyer, but I don't think sharing classified information unredacted would count as a political defence in the UK. I suspect that definition refers to political views and activities that don't break UK laws, e.g. I would expect the US would not be allowed to extradite someone purely for their belief that the US should become a communist state. However if they hacked the computers of th US fed, then they'd be fair game.

The treaty itself is problematic and the US recently refused the Saacoolas extradition. So the next time a British citizen is on the line we should refuse as well. But I also agree: this particular case is about the least troubling extradition ever.

I keep hoping it will simply gain a way to say 'I still care, this is still an issue, there's no new information to add, (nor asked for!) it's just not being prioritised so please leave it open'. Or infer that after a couple of stale removals.

I let my NYT subscription lapse because their articles were clearly pushing an agenda rather than reporting the news.

I now subscribe to the WSJ. That way I can get the business and financial news I'm interested in by people who are educated in business and finance, rather than activism.
I don't buy this for a minute. With all due respect your comment reads as so much noise. Are you rejecting the premise? Then identify the premise and rebut it. Are you citing Wittgenstein or Chompsky, or just name dropping for the borrowed prestige? Since there is lots to chose from in their respective oeuvre, which arguments are you indicating? How does Wolfram run afoul of Kolmogorov?

I'm asking in earnest. Perhaps you know your stuff after all and we can get some signal here. Otherwise, I'm sorry to say but your comment comes across as empty, fluffy posturing that does not add much.
This is definitely an issue, but isn't one I run into often. Just like if I'm pasting code in rust I need to make sure it is inside or outside an if statement, I likewise need to ensure pasted code in ante is inside/outside the if statement by looking at its indentation relative to the previous line. The compiler can help somewhat here, just not a lot. If your indentation is not on an existing indentation level you will get an error since you cannot randomly start indent blocks in your code. I do think the biggest detractor of indentation-sensitive syntax in general is the loss of auto-formatting indentation though.

I assume that they are able to meet whatever the relevant safety codes are, but whenever I see footage from those tunnels, I wonder what happens in case of a car fire or some other bad failure scenario. It seems like traffic behind can't back up or turn around or go past. Would the column of traffic ahead have to clear the route for first responders to access? Always been curious about that.
> For more manmade disasters, George Floyd aftermath and Jan 6th 2021 would tend to disagree. Switzerland would be a good place for an archive. Connected, stable, neutral

The threat of a Nazi invasion of Switzerland was a more severe threat to civil order in Switzerland than any protest or riot in America or Canada in the past century.

> Nazi Germany repeatedly violated Swiss airspace. During the Battle of France in 1940, German aircraft violated Swiss airspace at least 197 times.[17] In several air incidents, the Swiss shot down 11 Luftwaffe aircraft between 10 May and 17 June 1940, while suffering the loss of three of their own aircraft.[17] Germany protested diplomatically on 5 June and with a second note on 19 June which contained explicit threats. Hitler was especially furious when he saw that German equipment was used to shoot down German pilots. He said they would respond "in another manner".[17] On 20 June, the Swiss air force was ordered to stop intercepting planes violating Swiss airspace. Swiss fighters began instead to force intruding aircraft to land at Swiss airfields. Anti-aircraft units still operated. Later, Hitler and Hermann Göring sent saboteurs to destroy Swiss airfields but they were captured by Swiss troops before they could cause any damage.[18] Skirmishes between German and Swiss troops took place on the northern border of Switzerland throughout the war.[citation needed]

Another +1. Although I don’t necessarily believe neoliberalism is the best thing ever at least the Economist doesn’t hide its editorial stance and generally supports regulation where it’s needed. And there is plenty of really good content (book reviews, science/tech, coverage of Russia-Ukraine war) that doesn’t have a political skew one might dislike.
having a common syntax gets you a crude kind of type-generic behavior. you can can write functions that just deal with 'stuff', including functions to merge data and to serialize/unseriaze. maybe you also get a base type system. maybe include some transport functions like idempotency...write a little data viewer.

you can build stuff on top of this - including additional semantics, like adding a schema with the same underlying representation in order to do validation. or transactions - nothing to say say that the body can't be another one of these generic data items wrapped up in a transaction envelope - or signed like a cert.

I dislike 'narrow waist', although I understand the image. it seems to me to really be about what everything always has been - separation of concerns and low level functions that support reuse.
I'm kind of surprised by all the negative responses. This is obviously a bad idea for a normal ui, but for the use case of "my app is literally just a checkbox and I want it to feel like an event to check it" this seems cool. And that use case really does feel appropriate for a habit tracker app.
What is the rational behind it? Sagan said it best:

“For all its material advantages, the sedentary life has left us edgy, unfulfilled. Even after 400 generations in villages and cities, we haven’t forgotten. The open road still softly calls, like a nearly forgotten song of childhood. We invest far-off places with a certain romance. This appeal, I suspect, has been meticulously crafted by natural selection as an essential element in our survival. Long summers, mild winters, rich harvests, plentiful game—none of them lasts forever. It is beyond our powers to predict the future. Catastrophic events have a way of sneaking up on us, of catching us unaware. Your own life, or your band’s, or even your species’ might be owed to a restless few—drawn, by a craving they can hardly articulate or understand, to undiscovered lands and new worlds.

Herman Melville, in Moby Dick, spoke for wanderers in all epochs and meridians: “I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas…”

Maybe it’s a little early. Maybe the time is not quite yet. But those other worlds— promising untold opportunities—beckon.
A New York Times article on the matter https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/17/technology/spacex-employe... seems to imply otherwise: "The letter, solicitations and general process made employees feel uncomfortable, intimidated and bullied, and/or angry because the letter pressured them to sign onto something that did not reflect their views".
I don't know, Amazon's absurdly high churn rate is pretty strong evidence that the jobs look a lot worse once you're in one of them. It's not about people being dumb and making bad decisions, it's just really hard to evaluate a work environment from the outside.

Even for tech jobs, where it's common to interview with many future coworkers, assessing the work environment is tough. Warehouse type jobs are probably even harder to evaluate.
I don't remember the exact PT100 I used but it wasn't very expensive (still probably one of the more expensive things I ever bought per unit of mass -- they are probably more expensive that diamonds).

It was definitely 4 wire (you don't want to measure wire resistance change and 4 wire is only way to get rid of it).

As to housing and type of RTD, a lot of the cost here is spent on making sure the measurements are stable over long time (so for example to prevent humidity and other gasses from putting it out of calibration).

In my case I did not care a lot about it because I wasn't after absolute precision, for me the important part was rate of change. If you are after absolute precision you might want one of the fancy RTDs.

But I cared that it is small and that it has very low thermal impedance interface with the measured object. Smaller means less thermal mass means faster response.

For the chip I used a general purpose ADC. You also need a very good voltage reference, otherwise even best ADC isn't worth much.
