I'm not sure about that. Refining right now doesn't just refine (separate into different components). It also changes longer molecules into shorter ones, a process called "cracking". They do this because we want more gasoline than the fraction that naturally occurs in petroleum. This (massively oversimplifying) gives more gasoline and less asphalt.

Well, if we use less gasoline, but we still want asphalt, the answer is to stop cracking, or at least to not crack as much. And the refineries would be happy to do so, since cracking is expensive.

I mean, you could get to a point where, if you just take the natural fractions in petroleum, there still isn't enough asphalt, but that's not going to happen for a while. (If ever. I suspect - but I do not know - that petrochemicals don't primarily want the tar/bitumen/asphalt fraction.)
This is to be understood under the high oil and gas prices and supply shortage.

Germany has a huge industrial organic chemistry complex. In comes the oil and gas, which get vapocracked, distilled into base molecules; out goes fertilizers, plastics, medecines, precursors, etc

It is so integrated that pipes run from one factory to another. Changes in the input will affect the whole chain.

I feel like this is trying to dodge IM and email noise fatigue and having that bleed into texts. I'm nocturnal when I have the choice so I understand, but would definitely mute a coworker if they regularly texted me on a schedule for when I wake up.
There seems no way to prove or disprove that statement, since the evolution of the web created this reality and a different reality never got tested.

The current reality arguably depended on significant forks in the road of history, at least some of which might have been somewhat random.

For example, in a different, less monopolistic, version of evolution, there might be twice as many content creators, each making about half as much money.
What another monster hike? Fed did only tiny 0.75 percent point increase in interest rate to 1.5%-1.75%. Inflation is 8.6%. Right interest rate hike would be 7 percent point.

No. This is security theater, and it stands as an obstacle to security. They were better off with plaintext.

It really feels like you are not reading my comments. I just said in the comment you are responding to that I am working on this, but it is a few years away. That is not to say I am not doing anything now, but I have to lay the ground work. For me to say I am actively working on this and to read your response as "go ahead and do it then" really feels like you do not want to engage with what I am saying.

> BTW, I read somewhere that over 10,000 collectives had been created in the United States. Where are they now? Oh, they all failed.

They all failed? Walter, I can easily find a long list of active co-ops just in the Bay Area alone. It seems to me you are speaking with authority on a topic you don't know very much about.

That said, failures do happen. Lots of privately owned businesses fail too. Would you suggest then that privately owned business as a concept is not viable?

I think what you are missing is that people in today's economy are suffering, and people are desperate for something to change. I suspect you are doing okay, and not desperate for change. Good for you. But the number of people in your position is literally dwindling from a statistical perspective in the USA. For everyone else, they cannot just sit comfortably and dismiss suggestions on how to change things. They need change, as for many it is literally a life and death situation.
It involves enough steps (write letter, print letter, obtain and pack envelope, obtain and attach postage, go to mailbox) that it discourages people. Each of those steps is also an opportunity to forget.

Maybe I should get into the habit of hand-writing those. Probably less work than the digital variant to be honest (if you keep it short) and a lot more annoying for the receiving company deciphering that handwriting.
Tesla is only far ahead in their willingness to take on risk and make at least partially untrue claims. There are multiple companies running actual robo-taxis in other cities but not a single city Tesla is running actual driverless vehicles. If Tesla was actually capable of running robo-taxis in one of the cities with the regulatory atmosphere they would, but they can't.

It's just called being an entrepreneur and starting a business without getting funding. You get to choose how big or small you want to get it and you realize that you don't have to make it big, you can live a comfortable lifestyle if you want to.

The little problems are learning how to entrepreneur successfully, have the money and energy to do so, and getting lucky enough to find the right idea, right market, right timing with the right messaging.

It all seems so easy when you see someone making a boring, bland, basic ass tool collecting $1MM ARR, but you can't just easily do the same. It's possible, but good luck.

You also learn that you don't have to sell a recurring service or even software at all, you can just sell "stuff" and people will buy it if there is a desire.

yeah but the population density of japan is 10x that of america, and the distance between atlanta and los angeles is well over 3x that of tokyo to fukuoka.

I doubt GP was intending to speak strictly about population count itself.
There are several ways to communicate:

- turn signal to initiate a turn.
- scroll up/down on the right steering wheel control to increase/decrease max speed
- left/right on the right steering wheel control to increase/decrease follow distance
- nudge the gas pedal to be a little more aggressive (starting from a stop sign, executing a turn that FSD has already started signaling, etc
- and sometimes I just take control via brake or stalk. I generally don't disengage with the wheel since that keeps the speed on auto.

As for when the loaner didn't stop, it didn't have FSD. So while it looked like my car, it didn't have the same features as my car (just basic autopilot, not FSD).

I have not had situations where FSD was engaged and failed to stop or brake from highway speeds.

The old Shareware model isn't too different than this. If the user opts not to pay, they basically have something close to what you describe.

There are also a lot of free apps for tablets and smart phones. Some are open source, but definitely not all of them.

But I think a lot of people do (rightfully) look a gift horse in the mouth. If it is free, the lack of source code availability calls into question 1) Why? Is there something that needs to be hidden in there? and 2) what to do if the software suddenly is no longer supported by the author, be it through disinterest or death or whatever.
I believe you should approach this with a long term perspective in mind. Yes, maybe life will lead you to an unexpected destination. I believe though you should position yourself by giving yourself the best chance possible to succeed. You said you are attending the best university in your country. I would ask my professors for advice before changing majors. Maybe there is an alternative path to CS degree more suited to you. If you do decide to change majors, you should pick a major that can get your foot in the door when applying for a job.

On the use of a life (2020)
Are you saying career advice may not be correct at a later date?
I agree. Another thing to consider is that React makes it frictionless to import custom components, instead of attempting to re-write common UI patterns from scratch.

If a React dev leans on an accessible UI framework like Chakra, or Headless UI, or React-Aria, they're probably better off from an accessibility perspective than a dev that tries to implement WAI guidelines from scratch.
If the scariest thing in that graph of the earth's estimated global temperature over its lifetime isn't the near vertical upward line at the end it just means you don't believe humanity's existence is particularly significant (which is not an unreasonable conclusion depending on your perspective).

It is probably not better than nothing, because it gives the illusion of security, while patently failing at providing it when challenged by pretty much anyone who might be interested in an attack. While charging full price.

If they’d built it for an RFP asking for a honeypot, the situation would be different.

So think of it as a tough looking cover over a deep pit that a contractor made for a mining company. The mining company paid full price for it to keep people from falling in.

But it turns out when someone stands on it, it collapsed and dumps them into a pit because it was built wrong.

Oops.

Everyone would have been better off with nothing, because at least you’d know to be careful around the giant hole if it didn’t have the cover.

You say this as if this forum is not an appropriate place to begin to make such contact. We must discuss with other like minded people the merits of sharing our work as open source, but when people try to do that here it feels like you are saying they should go somewhere else to do it.

And we can certainly discuss the merits of our government granting ever increasing copyright terms. Copyright is not a natural concept, but an artificial one created by government agents. Surely this forum is a good place to question those choices and discuss alternatives.

I was just about to post about this as well. I still don't know how I ended up with this disk, but got shipped to high school-aged me. I was blown away at the time!
I'd have to disagree with this on a couple levels.

Yes, hooks change the way we write React code in some ways, but in a lot of other ways nothing has changed. We still write components that accept props, have state, and return UI descriptions as JSX elements, and those components may cause side effects after a render is completed. Conceptually, the core principles of React are still exactly the same, and hooks didn't change that.

Additionally, Redux is still by far the most widely used state management tool for React apps. My rough estimates are that 45-50% of React apps use Redux, whereas Mobx and XState are around 10-15%.

I'll agree that Redux is not as "popular" as it once was, which is due to a number of factors. It was heavily overused early on, and the ecosystem has expanded to include a lot of other great tools that overlap with some of the use cases for Redux. But, "modern Redux" with Redux Toolkit is much easier to learn and use than the legacy hand-written patterns, and we get highly positive feedback on a daily basis from folks who tell us they enjoy using RTK. (In fact, RTK by itself has more downloads than Mobx, XState, or React Query.) So, that tells me Redux will continue to be widely used for a long time.

That's not linear probing, though; that's having a 3-way associative cache.

Maybe that's how I should have phrased my comment: a transposition table is a cache, not a hash map,* because entries can be lost (overwritten). Furthermore, insertions may not succeed.

I know you know this; I mentioned it because I didn't want anyone to read Stockfish's source expecting an implementation of a hash map and then get confused.

Stockfish's source is well-written and incidentally didactic, so I'd definitely second the recommendation to read it.

*Or hash table, or dictionary; these are all synonyms, I just prefer "map" myself.

> The execution model needs something that actually drives execution.

Er, yes: specifically, execution is drivenby trying to pull the final RealWorld token out of a expression along the lines of `runState (RealWorld#) (main)`, which requires the evaluation of (the internal RealWorld -> (RealWorld,a) functions of) IO actions provided by FFI functions (hence why you need FFI to have anything useful (or more accurately, side-effectual) to execute).

I don't. It's a terrible idea that's effectively the apotheosis of premature (and ill-targeted) optimization as the root of all evil.
Hey,me too! I grew up near Mendon, spent the last 35 years in city of Denver! I'm qualified too!

> I'm sure McDonald's play-tested this a lot,

I'm not. At the point someone stands in front of the device, they've already made a decision and they're unlikely to bail just due to bad UX, and I can totally see someone who isn't aware of UX as a concept simply not optimizing.

They want a digital ordering system, this is a digital ordering system, it seems to do the job (fewer cashiers)... the fact that people actively avoid going back to McD because they don't want to deal with that abomination doesn't show up on that person's stats.

In case anyone from McD reads this: Since those machines popped up I avoid going specifically because I hate dealing with them. Before the machines, I walked in, stood in a relatively short queue, "one cheeseburger please", receive a burger, pay (often cash) and go. Now, I first spend a ridiculous amount of time dealing with the crappy machine, then wait forever for my food.
I'm in Europe, I can unsubscribe with 3-4 clicks, depending on how you count:

1. Click user icon in top right hand corner (I would not count this one)

2. Click "Account & Settings"

3. Click "End membership"

4. Click "End on {Month} {Day}, 2022"

Two clicks will also be nice, but not sure there was a problem that needed fixing. Maybe it is worse in some parts of Europe than others, or maybe I get a different menu because I'm an immigrant to Europe and not a European.

I have also done it many times before and the process was more or less the same, prime just simply does not have enough content to subscribe for more than one month at a time, so I always cancel immediately after subscribing.
Takes me back to the whirrr-clunk of retries on DEC RX02's. Got into trouble for writing an RT11 driver for a Rodime 5Mb hard disk drive (no idea how many platters it had, it was full height); seems so insanely large at the time that I split it into 8 separate area (being used to 256Kb per 8" floppy and rarely filling that, having 8 drives with over twice the capacity each was amazing).

> Only if you're pretending we were all learned English yesterday.

"White" here is metaphorical. "Allow" is literal. That makes "allow" the easier-to-understand term for those who are learning. Because, yes, English is something that needs to be learned. Not "everybody" already understands everything, unless your definition of "everybody" discounts a whole lot of humans for some reason.

> "White list" is an older more established term, and that familiarity makes it easier to understand.

Only if you already understand it, which is entirely self-referential.

> self-describing words just isn't something we [english speakers] prioritize

I'm going to assume here you mean the difference between metaphors and literals, because otherwise nothing makes sense. And it depends on the audience. If it's technical docs, I sure hope whoever's writing them takes a suitably informed view as to the comprehension level of their readers, because that's the damn job.

> political activism

"We should not make things easier for non-native speakers who don't already have all the implied context of the English language down pat" sounds a lot like a political position to me.
