I'm not sure what part is confusing.

Would you take the same concerns about telling a child:

"When someone says something that makes you feel bad, remember the conversations we about how just because someone says something, it doesn't mean it is true. People will say things to try to hurt you, but they are just being mean and it isn't true. It reflects on them as a person, not you as a person. However, if someone physically hurts you, this is different."

In my mind, "sticks & stones" is the same thing, but shorter and more memorable.

Question: How to find the direction of magnetic field induced by a current.

Reminder: Use the right hand rule

Instruction: Detail on how to use the right hand rule and what it means.
Mo' tech mo' problems. Just give me a car that goes forward, backwards, left and right with a roof, windows, seats with few luxuries: air conditioning, power locks/windows, remote start (winter savior). For safety I will take ABS, maybe ESP. Leave me an industry standard DIN or double DIN opening for a radio and speaker locations; factory options always suck. Transmission can be manual or automatic. The rest is fluff that easily breaks.
I'm sure your views on this subject would be completely different if you were a farmer.

It can be changed. Quebec used to have to fund Protestant (probably Anglican) schools. At some point in the last few decades, their part of the Constitution was updated so that they have to fund English-language schools. Ontario currently doesn’t have the political will to change this, but it isn’t entirely immutable. (Interestingly, there are a few Protestant schools funded in some places in Ontario, where the majority of the population were French Catholic.)

Quebec is in the process of making it difficult for anyone to attend English-language schools, but I see Quebec bills 21 and 96 potentially causing major pushback against the notwithstanding clause (hopefully it will kill the damned thing) and causing another round of people and companies to leave Quebec as they did because of René Lévesque and the PQ.
The more ignorant you are about the reality on the ground, apparently the easier it is for some people to tell others "obviously, you're doing it wrong".
If we had a drug that increased caloric expenditure by 5 calories but increased hunger by 500 calories, so that on average people who took it gained 10 pounds.

Would you say this drug helped you lose weight?

Or on the other end if you have a drug that decreases caloric expenditure by 5 calories but decreases hunger by 500 calories would you say this drug helps people gain or lose weight?

We can look at these interventions through the very narrow lens of thermodynamics and say the first one will help with weight loss and the second will help with weight gain. Or we can just give people the drug and see what happens to their weight. It seems very clear to me the second approach is a better one.

Like so often with new laws, I think a more general one would have been better.

Why is it about apps, app stores, developers, voice assistants and all that specific stuff?

In my opinion, it should just have been this: A company is not allowed to artificially restrict what users can do with the products they bought.

Then it would also not be allowed to restrict people from installing alternative operating systems on the hardware they bought.

Linux on an iPad! How nice would that be!
That would violate the EU legislation as currently written.
The issue with these types of surveys is that they don't differentiate between complaints of different severities (or validities). EVs sold in the US tend to have a lot of infotainment features, and as the article mentions:

> The most common complaint? Trouble connecting to Apple Carplay or Android Auto.

They are equating the number of complaints with "car quality" but really what they are directly measuring is the number of times an owner complains.
So if these farmers would switch to agriculture it would be a solution right? Although fertilizers come with their own set of problems if I remember correctly.
Reality is that no one owns a car for 200k miles anymore. There are of course outliers, but the vast majority of people are either buying/leasing/trading every 3-4 years, or are at the opposite end of the spectrum buying whatever cheap rust heap they can keep running.
The caveat pointed out in the next paragraph might help explain the numbers:

"Those numbers are complicated by the fact that Tesla vehicles weren’t counted in the study. Fully 75% of the EVs sold in the U.S. last quarter were Tesla products."

The anecdotal experience I've observed among friends is that Tesla owners are happy with the Supercharger network and better software, while other electric makers still are figuring it out, lots of buggy software, slow charging, etc.

By the way, the TFA algo is equivalent to:

for (i=0; i<n; ++i)
for (j=0; j<(i ? i : n); ++j)
if (a[i] < a[j])
swap(a[i], a[j]);

Once the max has been swaped in, further inner iterations past i (the position of max) are redundant.

However, we can go even further:

for (i=0; i<n; ++i)
for (j=0; j<i; ++j)
if (a[i] < a[j])
swap(a[i], a[j]);

This dispenses with the explicit max swap and simply does progressive insertion.

Curiously, in such transformed form the algo echoes the 'selection sort' from my previous post, performs equivalently too (wrt ncmpr, nswp).
And for added fun, although ] and [ were in the ASCII subset that the Apple ][ used, they were not on the keyboard. I remember writing a program in AppleSoft Basic that was a very limited word processor that used the ctrl key as shift and displayed uppercase using inverse (which was a bad choice because then the return key gave M as its output rather than a new line), and finding that I could get half the logo through the esc key.
> What did it take to put you and so many others into this mindset?

For me it was looking at the data and learning more about geology as well as systems thinking.

It was about a decade ago now that I was curious what the big deal was about CO2 ppm rising so high, and then again a few years after that when we reached a new minimum for global sea ice. Looking into the details of these problems and then learning more about how our global energy economic works I started to realize the situation at hand.

The more you understand the data as well as ways of viewing climate modeling from various different scientific communities the more you realize how dire the situation is and how often our models under estimate variance, and how that variance is more likely to be on the "worse than expected" than "better than expected" side of things.

But, I'm also of the perspective that it's far too late. We can't even tackle nitrogen pollution in a relatively progressive area of Europe, we'll never be able to touch on the larger problems we're facing. On top of that the time for action was around 30+ years ago.
I didn't try clicking there! It used to be easier to find.
> those of us that hacked on the systems back in the day.

Thanks for letting us stand on your shoulders :)
I completely agree. From my perspective there's the day to day operational kind of feedback: "X, your latest change broke production the 2nd time this week, let's see what we can do to prevent that". This needs to be addressed as part of the daily work. Business as usual for someone leading/managing a team.

And then there is the periodic performance review were we want to take a high-level look at changes in impact, outcomes, behavior over longer periods of time.
>when you increase wages, you increases costs, and then those wages don't help: AKA inflation

The problem you are addressing is the income share of capital vs labor. Thomas Piketty has this theory called r < g meaning the return on capital is greater than the growth rate of the economy. This means the income share of capital is too high, there isn't enough money left to pay labor so you either get paid less, get fired or the business must raise prices which results in inflation at full employment.

As interest rates fell this problem has diminished but the interest rates on loans are still positive. Another problem is that during full employment people can afford to spend more on limited housing which drives its price up in popular locations. The problem isn't necessarily that housing is too expensive, the problem is that supply doesn't catch up to demand and that plots of land are kept empty, abandoned or underutilized (single family zoning).
And if all you use is object storage, k8s, and some kind of SQL data lake, migrating between clouds is... actually not that terrible?

And why would they stop there?
The "local nature" (barely anything left), has already been sacrificed for decades to this. For example, a large drop in insect populations has been recorded, likely because of intensive farming practices. So continuing to do this (apart from EU regulation) does not seem to me like it is very wise. Agriculture is also very dependent on some kind of local nature existing (think pollinators). If you don't care about nature at all, it will be a very dead place soon enough. We are also part of nature, after all.
Hey all!

We are excited to officially release https://prose.sh

prose.sh is a markdown-based blog platform like many others that already exist. The twist to prose.sh is that all content management happens with SSH. You don't publish posts on prose.sh, instead you copy your markdown files locally to us via `scp`. It uses public-key cryptography to manage authentication and authorization.

prose.sh was built primarily with https://charm.sh.

prose.sh was built by https://pico.sh which is a small team of engineers who want to make the web smol.

It's always been interesting to me that the 7800 and NES were designed at roughly the same time, because the 7800 seems so much more primitive. (Using the TIA for sound didn't help!) On paper the graphics hardware is superior, but I feel like no 7800 games of the era really new how to take advantage of it.

What really killed the 7800 I think is that it was cancelled and only later released after the NES revived the market. And it was released at a budget price point with a bunch of mediocre arcade ports. And this was after Super Mario Bros. had rocked the world! And the NES had better ports of most of the 7800 launch lineup!

I wonder what would have happened if the 7800 had not been cancelled originally. I think the NES would have still beaten it in sales, but maybe the NES would have looked primitive in '85 if 7800 devs had a year of learning how to get more out of the hardware.
CORS doesn't generally care if the final IP was resolved from localhost or example.com (or any other DNS entry), if the host doesn't have the right response to OPTIONS requests, you won't be able to communicate with it in the browser, unless your on the same IP/DNS as you're trying to talk to.
That is sad.

ICE vehicles have 100 years of improvement and refinement behind them. A significant number of ICE power trains in current vehicles have direct lineages going back to the 90s and total production numbers in the 100s of millions.

The limiting factor in the durability of an ICE is maintenance. Friction will eventually wear an engine beyond operating tolerances. But proper maintenance can keep an ICE going for a very long time. 100 years is totally possible so long as wear components are properly greased and rubbers are replaced every 10 or so years.
Almost everyone derives value from existing cars either by using or selling it.

I also would need concrete data to believe most people are swapping cars willy nilly. Based on income/wealth statistics, most Americans most certainly cannot afford to.
Back in the 70s and 80s, it was common to buy a new American car with a double-digit number of serious defects right off the line; Japanese cars had their initial success in the States when they were generally fine at purchase. Overall quality has been greatly improved since those terrible days, but it's still a useful measure. Nobody wants to have to keep taking their brand new car into the shop.

Also, if you wait until you get any substantial real-world numbers on TCO from owners at 150k-200k miles - collecting several years of data - any given car will likely have been redesigned and have a different quality profile. You can extrapolate by manufacturer, but given the extended timeframe it isn't all that helpful - or even more helpful than initial quality - when buying a brand new car.

This is awful especially since data can be spotty on mobile, but I noticed other mobile mail apps have this issue. I prefer when my email client caches the emails so it doesnt matter where I am, I can at least look at a historic account of things.
This story about the nature reserves plays well in Dutch media, which isn't surprising as it supports the national pride at being particularly diligent. However, it's a little misleading; the Netherlands is dealing with what looks like some of the worst NOx and NH3 pollution in the EU. I'm sure there are various causes for that, but it's measurable by satellite, and it's not merely a question of being overly zealous with nature reserves. Politicians don't like taking blame for dithering, so it's convenient to say their hands are tied by judges, rules, international treaties and the phase of the moon, but really, it's simply a problem that should likely be addressed regardless of the legal details of whatever happened to trigger the current flare up.

Furthermore, Dutch farmers enjoy popular support, remarkable influence, and they know it and use it. However, in actuality they have been warned for years if not decades by now that their emissions were not only harmful, but also unsustainable - yet lobby groups held real action at bay, as usual. An illustration of just how extreme that regulatory capture is should be apparent when you consider that not only does farming have the most millionaires of any industry; they have huge exemptions from wealth and estate taxes and are overrepresented in regulatory bodies the Dutch call waterschappen, which causes its own land misuse issues. Amusing anecdotes here include that the last time this nitrogen debate flaired up: despite livestock farming being responsible for the majority of emissions, lawmakers decided to reduce the speed limits on highways (responsible for a much smaller fraction of emissions in this instance) instead of confronting the farming unions. They're a real political force.

Farmers really don't deserve any pity here. Their industry is a real problem, and the individual farmers that actively muddy the water by trying spreading anti-science misinformation to protect their own interests are causing the Dutch state to persist with poor policy, including shifting costs from rich landowners (the farmers) onto the rest of the population; extremely regressive policies, in other words. Even where farmers will need to adapt to policies they've been warned about and have been delaying for years, current political proposals include excessively lucrative compensation for business losses incurred.

There surely are mitigating factors, but it's impossible to even have a rational discussion about this in Dutch politics because of the toxicity caused by farmers. I'm not holding my breath for a good outcome here. This isn't an example of Dutch diligence or over-zealousness; it's an example of sticking your head in the sand and blaming others for the consequences.
I quite like this idea.

It does not make sense to keep farming. But the extreme correction we currently have is not worth the nature tradeoff. Faith in our government is tanking with Groningen's earthquakes and the toeslagaffaire. Adding to this the government decimating many citizens who acted in good faith is not good.

We are stuck between the option of having a government being an untrustworthy partner, or breaking European laws and sacrificing nature.
I've been a Fastmail customer for...8 years? 10? I dunno. A long time. Initially I just replaced my self-hosted personal domain email as deliverability to e.g. Gmail dropped off a cliff for anything _not_ run by a BigCo. Fastmail, despite not being "big" in the Google/MS/Yahoo sense is expertly-run and established enough that I generally get messages through. (Delivery failures I see from FM-hosted addresses usually have to do with age of the _domain_, not anything about their email infra.)

Being able to pay for _just_ email from a company that isn't also harvesting my mail contents for ad targeting and search relevance is honestly a huge relief to me. When I have to discuss something sensitive via email -- think medical care, financial deals and other business secrets, even hobbies and interests that I wouldn't want blasted across the Googleplex -- it goes to Fastmail, every time. (And yes, I know about encrypted email and tried to do everything with GPG signatures + payload encryption for years...along with re-sending 99% of those messages b/c the recipient could do literally nothing with them.)

For business use I'm also a big fan of their mailing-list-esque offering Topicbox (https://topicbox.com). It lets me opt-in particular outside trusted vendors and collaborators for ongoing discussion w/o having the bring them onto our domain, keeps a permanent archive of our discussions, and hosts public mailing lists for newsletters, customer discussions, etc. just as well.

Disclaimer: I am not a Fastmail employee, marketing partner, or affiliate, and I have always paid full price for my service. They're just damn good at email and one of the last effective defenders against the GOOG/MS duopoly's centralization of email and IMHO worthy of regular public recommendations for that. (Self-hosting is fun and fine for personal domains where deliverability is a nice-to-have, but for business purposes I need something that _works_ and am willing to pay for that.)

The US's constitutional system doesn't work well in a polarized environment. There are too many veto points, two conflicting branches that can each claim to be "legitimately elected", and even the elected branches don't represent the popular will due to compromises made in the pre-modern era.

We've papered over the effects of this paralysis by delegating power to the executive agencies and the Courts, but this era is now coming to an end. Some folks believe that as we remove those options our legislative system will be "forced" to work properly. But there's no evidence to support this: most Presidential democracies have collapsed into autocracy, and our own system has previously collapsed into secession and civil war.
Initial quality isn't silly. It makes a difference in the ownership experience. If you keep having to take your new car in for service it's a huge hassle, even when the manufacturer fixes it under warranty and gives you a loaner to drive. Considering the average new car price is over $40K now, the lack of attention to quality is just sad. It's pure laziness and incompetence, but I guess consumers are willing to put up with it so nothing will improve.
