> Minidisc really was the best format around though, for a time. They held 80 minutes of music / hundreds of megs of audio, at a time when even a 32mb solid-state card, like smartmedia, was really expensive.

MiniDiscs compared compared favorably to early solid state MP3 players but those weren't their main competition, CD players were. By the time MP3 players were available portable CD players were inexpensive and had enough skip protection to listen to while walking. Even down market cars can standard with them. If you bought a CD from a store there were good odds you could listen into it on the way home.

Compared to CDs I don't think MiniDiscs offered much of an advantage in the general case. MD players had some cool features if you were really into making discs but I think most people just wanted to listen to music.

I find your point about Sony being afraid a little funny considering they let a great opportunity slip through their fingers. If MD data and MD audio were interchangeable and MD drives for computers were cheap they could have made tons of money off them. Inexpensive 140MB rewritable data discs that could also store 80 minutes of audio ripped from your CDs.

MiniDisc could have been the removable media of the 90s and well into the 00s. They would have sucked the oxygen out of the room for Fujitsu's M/O drives, Iomega Zip, and all the other removable disk drives. The audio players would have just been icing on the data storage cake.
I doubt it. Compare the time table for a flight vs train to the same destination. It's not even close to thinking American's and their "RIGHT THE NOWS!" attitude will put up with a train schedule. I say this from the inside. I've looked at the options, and there's no way with my limited time off that I'm spending all if it on a train. Get me there as soon as possible to use my limited there not getting there, then turn it around to come back. If your destination is the train, you're golden.
I recently visited the aquarium (2019 - right before Covid). While the immediate area around the aquarium felt safe, the sketchiness factor seemed to increase very quickly as you went further away.

The last time I visited the aquarium was in the 1980s with my dad. I had very fond memories of both the aquarium and riding those small white electric boat things in the harbor. I didn't feel unsafe at all, but then again I was an elementary school kid so what would I have known back then?

Then again, back then I distinctly felt unsafe going into Manhattan in NYC, and recall my dad commuted into the city with a steel baton and pepper spray in his briefcase for self defense.

You are generally want to have corridors so that you know where the drones are going to be, so you wouldn't just unrestrict everything, you'd have specific paths that the drones need to take to and from their destinations, like roads on the ground.

You don't leave it free space because then you have all sorts of drones whizzing around in all sorts of random and uncontrolled directions and that creates a lot of clutter that will cause crashing.
I thought it was widely accepted by now that the serotonin thesis was a bullshit story spread, among others, by Al Gore’s wife, maybe in good faith, maybe not.

Edit: Tipper Gore; I did not remember her name (I’m not from the US).

I read she was a big fan of the serotonin theory in a book (whose title I don’t remember at the moment).
Your comment is somewhat hostile. "Justify what you think that means"

OK. Well the large scale BES plants struggle to get costs below $200 per kWh. So that means that the cost for this battery is about $11,385,000,000. And this doesnt take into account the amount of space and weight this would take up on the ship. The cost of a panamax class appear to be about $300m. or about 38x increase in cost. This seems like a pretty clear case of it's not going to work.
It could be that any forced cognitive pattern change would have the same effect.

If you store the total application state for each step then it's simple, but consumes lots of memory.

If you want to store something more like a diff, there are choices. For example, you could have code to undo each operation, but you can also implement undo by going back to some checkpoint and then recomputing all operations between the checkpoint and now. Latter consumes more CPU, but comparable memory and a lot less code surface for bugs.

A 1985 Honda Civic retailed at $7,295, or about $20,000 today. It was a 94 inch wheelbase hatchback with 60hp. A Kia Rio is similar today—a high quality Asian-built alternative brand—and starts at under $17,000. It’s got a 101 inch wheelbase and 120 horsepower.

>Purpose is fleeting in modern existence. Religion is waning. Spirituality is trivialized. Both for excellent reasons. So many people in the world are just surviving, while others are going through the motions of modern existence, as if on a treadmill. Achieving milestones but without feeling connected to them. Chasing Instagram highlight reels.

I think this is a really important idea and I love the way you have phrased it.

However, I don't agree with your statement that writing copy for Stripe is anything other than achieving a milestone without feeling connected to it. Stripe is (primarily) an online payments platform that helps ecommerce transactions operate smoothly. I would not describe this as being groundbreaking and impactful to the world.

The author is highly motivated and driven, and has directed her energy towards what she (and you) have percieved to be a valid purpose. But imagine a world where she contributed to any other system. This could be academic research, volunteering in her community (I suspect she would be a great leader), or political/environmental activism. But instead, she has been coopted to work overtime and cancel holidays to make Patrick rich.

SSRIs raise extra-synaptic serotonin levels within the first hour of taking them. However, their efficacy against depression takes weeks or even months to manifest. We've known this for decades, and as a result the "chemical imbalance" theory of depression hasn't been a real contender in depression research for a long, long time.

The key thing to understand is that serotonin levels don't have to be low for SSRIs to induce positive changes. SSRIs don't just "raise serotonin levels" as many have come to believe, but rather change the dynamics of serotonin in the brain. This produces downstream changes that, over time, can contribute to lessening depressive symptoms in some patients.

This makes more sense if you think about other conditions like chronic pain. Someone suffering from chronic pain doesn't have an "endogenous opioid deficiency". They're just in pain. Opioids are one medication we can use to modulate their pain.

Unfortunately, the pop-culture misunderstandings about "low serotonin" can mislead a lot of people into thinking that research like this debunks SSRIs. It doesn't. As I said above, we've known for decades that something else is going on. This isn't actually a surprise to anyone in the field.

I hate this. I truly believe that Intel swindled the government by playing up the fear of TSMC taking over and China invading Taiwan to "acquire" TSMC. Also, chip shortages are ending fast. We might soon have a surplus of chips because of capacity expansion in response to Covid but demand is declining or returning to normal.

Now tax payers have to hand over $54 billion mostly to Intel and other $100B+ semiconductor companies.

But it isn't coupled, that's the whole point: hyperview provides a general, mobile-centric hypermedia that embeds hypermedia controls in exactly the manner that fielding describes. (sorry, I'm going to keep referring to that since that's where the definition comes from.)

Until you can show me a REST constraint that it is violating, rather than vague assertions like "an API designed for the singular application", I'm not going to grant you that the technology isn't RESTful. Any web app can have "an API designed for that singular application." I can link out to other sites, but it doesn't have to, and the fact that it does or doesn't isn't material to whether or not it is ReSTful. If it has identification of resources, manipulation of resources, self-descriptive messages and uses Hypermedia As The Engine of Application State, it's RESTful.

Here you go:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfe...

Pretty simple, just show me the constraint violated by hyperview and I'll agree with you. I don't know if HyperView provides Code On Demand, but that's an optional constraint of REST, if I understand correctly.
If you have issues with specific assumptions and sources to cite showing how those assumptions are flawed, then you would be contributing to a productive conversation about the article.

Simply saying "Batteries are really heavy and will be exhausted of power very quickly by the continuous load from underwater propellor propulsion." when those specific points have been discussed in the article does not contribute anything to the discussions and simply makes it appear as if you did not read the article.

If you enumerate all top level goals of the language, they all are satisfied by just staying with C++:

. Performance matching C++, an essential property for our developers.

. Seamless, bidirectional interoperability with C++, such that a library anywhere in an existing C++ stack can adopt Carbon without porting the rest.

. A gentle learning curve with reasonable familiarity for C++ developers.

. Comparable expressivity and support for existing software's design and architecture.

. Scalable migration, with some level of source-to-source translation for idiomatic C++ code.
Fully appreciate the dedication to something useful, that's entirely understandable ...

This is an odd line to take considering the language spec is unfinished and there’s no implementation. Anything less than or earlier than this phase of initial work would be akin to “let’s make a new C++; anyone have ideas?”

Also, for what it’s worth: despite being an ISO-standard language, C++ is still heavily swayed by corporate interests, with most committee members being tied to BigCos. This has the effect of somewhat-necessarily aligning language progress with its most significant users. Without this alignment, the language might be “better” in some respects, but less useful.

My psychologist tells me that in his profession there is a significant gulf emerging between the ones who feel the prescribing is justified, and the ones (like him) with significant concerns:

1. they prescribe both boosters, and inhibitors, to treat the same symptoms. This suggests the aetiology of disease here, is not well defined by a single behaviour because the same symptom (depression, anxiety) is responsive in some people to suppressing of a chemical imbalance, and in others to boosting it.

2. the drugs were tested inadequately across race, age, weight, sex.

3. the drugs appear to be best applied for as brief time as possible but are routinely being prescribed for extended periods, and demand de-habituation and great care with withdrawal

4. almost all successful uses of the drugs are accompanied by CBT and like processes.

> This is because poetry is using Python's PEP 518[1] specification rather than define their own build requirements format. It also isn't limited to just building, you can also include the configuration for other python tools like `pytest`[2].

I sort of get this but its still a bit odd. especially since I have a small poetry.toml as well.

> I use poetry every day and so far it's been pretty great.

I like poetry, it works a lot better for me then pipenv did(to be fair that was a few years ago). But I do seem to have to delete lock file to update it and sometimes poetry add/install breaks oddly(or at least with awkward error messages). Also sometimes it interacts with venvs in odd ways. python really needs to ship with it
>1. Bike registration. Most e-bikes / high-end bikes cost as much as a beat up car. having them all come with basic registration makes it very hard to sell a stolen bike.

This is how it works in Hawaii, and they are very strict about it. All bikes get a frame sticker with VIN number, and it's illegal to posess one without it. Kind of annoying but it helps immensly.
It doesn’t seem wise to vastly increase risk just for marginal capacity when we are already vastly exceeding our carbon budget.

Because psychiatric drugs don't necessarily work by counteracting specific deficits in the brain. That's a myth driven by unfortunate marketing campaigns and surface-level misunderstandings of the science.

This makes intuitive sense to people when discussing other topics. For example, when someone is in pain they don't need to have an "endogenous opioid deficiency" for opioid painkillers to alleviate their pain. They're just in pain, and modulating the opioid system with drugs is one way we can reduce that pain. Or COX-2 inhibitors. Or a number of other substances.

Likewise, modulating the serotonin system with SSRIs is one way we can modulate depression symptoms. People don't need to have a "serotonin deficiency" to see benefits from modulating their serotonin system.
If they have to hide something, it will not be in the microcode. They always expected it to be broken one day. If it is on the die it will take a massive effort to be found and understood, if ever. And it is actually much easier to hide from the employees as if it was in the microcode, many of them could have extracted the keys and sold them to a foreign power.
Depression has no common cause or common set of symptoms. I read a paper that likened it to a watershed, with tributaries feeding into a general pool of malaise. The watershed varies from person to person, and affects their internal “ecosystem” differently.

Maybe it’s a bit cute, but with this understanding, I think the headline is not shocking. We will never find the one cause of depression because there isn’t one.

In my opinion, our best bet is more personalized medicine: helping people identify which rivers are filling up their lake of depression. For most people it will be a weighted combination of many things, but I think there will usually be some principal components.
I think it is beautiful that there are some people out there capable of dedicating themselves to something with such passion.

But that's precisely the problem with the structures surrounding it. Organisations exploit these characters because they don't reward them as much as they put in. But not only that, you also have to think of the people around them. They point out in many places in the article how they weren't stopping because their neighbour wasn't stopping: a group expectation is formed that everyone is supposed to be putting 10-15 hours a day because that's what it means to be passionate, to care for your company. As others have pointed out, this is cult behaviour and believe it or not a lot of these companies precisely use cult-tactics to incite this behaviour on their workers.

I admire passion. But I want to see people putting that passion into constructive projects that improve their own lives as much as as everyone else's. That's the shift in perspective that we need, how much of this person's life was taken by this company? This kind of stress and hard work takes a toll on your health, it might not be immediately evident but it is real! And what do they have to show for it?

It's interesting that the VanMoof bikes are visually distinctive, meaning that the bike hunting team only has to look for one kind of bike. And the bikes have a radio collar of some sort. A general purpose bike hunting service, or the police, would have a much harder time with the huge variety of bikes out there, most lacking the electronic beacon.

I really think this is the best way to enjoy retro games. Original hardware + cart/cd emulation with games loaded on sd card. Access to every single game in every region for the entire console that runs flawlessly.

The media is the only source of anyone's information about anything beyond our immediate personal relationships and direct worldly interactions. For the vast majority of people, the scope of direct worldly interactions is extremely limited.

Take a moment to think about what we believe to be the fundamental facts about the biggest topics in the world at the moment. How many of those facts have originated outside of our own minds?

This set of basic facts are almost all sourced from the media. It's interesting to think about whether this same set of facts also set limits to the scope of opinions that could be formed to explain them.
