The accelerator and brake pedals are the same. Although in many cars the maximum jerk via the accelerator seems quite limited.

Jerk is also what triggers car/motion sickness. So for the comfort of your passengers, move the controls slowly. Roller coaster designers know this well and I think they even consider fourth and fifth derivatives when designing coasters.
They obviously mean "natural" stainless steel finish.

The name of the color would be silver, but silver color is a wider range of colors, silver is also confusingly just the name of a metal which it is not, and also would include "silver paint on top of stainless steel".
City dense will never work since skyscrapers have ridiculously low roof amounts compared to the populace.

Because saying so would be an admission of infringing the claimed intellectual property.

If any company had said, then or now, "we did this because we needed something non-infringing" then that would be a statement confirming guilt.

> Imagine a chain of autonomous trucks on a highway — isn't this basically a less energy efficient, less capacity version of a train ...

In principle, yes. And a train is basically a less energy efficient version of a barge or a ship. The trade-off lies obviously elsewhere (and is complex). Typical problems are loading and unloading goods (which is often quite slow, even when containers are used) and re-assembling trains en route when wagons have different destinations. B2B in bulk is were trains excell, such as deliviering coal from a mine to a power plant.

> ... that pushes a part of the costs onto public infrastructure

Only if trucks are not adequately charged via taxes and tolls. To get foreign trucks involved in financing the road network, many European countries have moved from pure tax-based systems (on petrol and the vehicle itself) to toll systems in recent years.

>>how do you prevent a violent home invasion or burglary where the first thing they do is at gunpoint force you to show them where your server is so they can disconnect/destroy it?

I would love to see a source of this being a common tactic of thieves, home invasion in general are extremely rare as most thieves are cowards and want to attack soft targets i.e unoccupied homes. Then of the home invasions I am aware of, I know of ZERO where the "first thing they did" was force the homeowner to show them the location of the storage server.

Even if that is a "common occurrence" which I doubt, what stops a home invader from cutting off the internet before the attack? and many of these cloud connected cams are wifi, there are several very easy attack vectors to knock them offline.

Stainless steel as darker than that, and typically "brushed". That's chrome.

I completely agree. Just imagine how good this can be implemented at system level. I had to do a lot of "hacks" to make it work that good as a simple accessibility app.

I've got feedback from multiple users with disabilities that this app is helping them use their phone easier with one hand. It also helps users without disabilities like me, I use it every day and I can't use an Android phone without it anymore.

I would love to see something like this implemented in both iOS and Android by Apple and Google.
But the “actually portable executable” is a single target and runs on many platforms, surely a rustc compiled as an APE for APE would be useful?
Thanks, I think that the thing this still lacks compared to `pip install -e` is that the develop dependency is then only visible inside other packages configured with poetry. So it is not useful for example if you want to locally install a package you make to be accessed through cli or any other python script not using poetry.
In my gentoo days, chromium would take longer to compile then the rest of @world combined.
Aside form neatness factor and hacker street cred, I don't exactly get the practical point for the vast majority of software. What am I to do with such a binary? Do I put it live on my website and allow my clients to download it? If I leave it with an .exe extension so that it runs in the Windows shell, wouldn't that confuse users of other platforms? What if I need a directory structure as 99% of programs do? Do I use a zip or a tgz? In the first case, how do I preserve permissions on Unix targets? Do I need to instruct my clients into how to use tgz on the command line and/or create permissions?

Software distribution is by its nature a very platform specific problem; even if we accept the premise of an x64 world, an universal binary solves just a very small portion of the practical problems of portable deployment.

Ironically, the best use case I can imagine is creating an universal binary installer that can run on any Unix system and then proceed to make platform-specific decisions and extract files contained in itself, sort of like Windows binary installers work. But that's an utterly broken distribution model compared to modern package managers.

There are some towns where the police have so little headcount that they have enough "real crime" to keep their officers as busy as they want to be and so unpredictably the officers would rather bust drug traffickers and respond to violence than write tickets. These tend to be poor urban communities where the cops (very much like teachers) only work there for a short time early in their careers.

But yes, in the general case you're right that law enforcement is a revenue generator.
There's historically been sloppy overlap between "byte" and "word", even today formal documentation doesn't clarify a difference.

This stems from architectures that had both a both a minimal and maximal addressable "atomic chunk" via segmented architecture.

Conversations about this varied between Intel, Motorola, TI chipset users, PDP v Cyber programmers, etc.

From a Standard C Programming (as portable assembly) viewpoint Char and Byte are interchangable and are the smallest atomic type .. with the number of bits defined by a header constant.

A lot of women getting dick pics would appreciate banning that for sure. I see no problem with this so long as the policy us recipient controlled.
Oh I see! You mean "built as an APE and targeting APE". That would indeed be an interesting idea.
That’s a strange question. If by professional you mean by trade, then yes, many programmers don’t work with bits or type limits directly and could do fine without that knowledge.

If by some sort of baseline certification (school, degree, etc) it’s hard to imagine that it’s not in an educational program, e.g. UTF-8 hints at it directly it the name. Can a programmer read a text file without knowing about UTF-8, at least as an enum-like parameter? Or know floating-point limitations, which every programmer should know, and not notice that float32 is 4 bytes wide? Or choose #rrggbb color never realizing that each 00..FF part stands for 2 hex / 8 bits?

I think in reality it’s either a sign of a very narrow specialization, very low experience or just a complete lack of awareness. It’s like going through a forest for months and never noticing a fallen tree.
third party cookies have other purposes than ads

Do they? Like what?

Third-party cookies can be convenient, sure, but in almost all cases you don't need to use them and you can still get done what you need to get done. Except when you want to track users for ads.

(You can obviously track users without third-party cookies, too, by various fingerprinting methods, but at that point it's a lot clearer that what you're doing is nefarious and doesn't have the user's consent.)

Nitpicking on terminology. Portable used to mean that software can run on another platform with minimal modifications. Typically by relying on abstraction layers that then has multiple implementations. It's cool that a single executable can run on both Windows and some Unixes but that's something else than what portable used to mean.

portable = able to port

I believe for a large part of the world homosexuality is far less controversial than homophobia, and thus it makes sense that Disney would want to showcase same-sex couples to declare loudly that they are not homophobic.
Whether this is sincere or opportunistic it's open to judgement; one could cynically notice that the large part of the world that really doesn't like homophobia is a very high potential market for Disney.
I found that characterization to be quite odd as well. Apparently, the phrase originates from a contemporary tabloid article:

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/130362134?searchT...

While that article doesn't seem to go into any detail as to why it was known to the police by that name, the different phrasing of "the suicide's handbook" vs. "suicide handbook" probably means the police referred to the Rubaiyat as "this specific suicide's handbook" rather than something of a guidebook for suicide in general.
Out of interest, what's that legitimate use case?
Because a camera doesn't have a boot to lick.

The police get a lot more leeway to do bad things because some percent of society just defaults to giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I do not understand your points here.

GNOME 2 does not have global menus. GNOME 2 did not have minimal window decorations, with separate min./max/close/menu buttons.

GNOME 2 (and MATE) does have:

* a taskbar with iconic buttons for windows (a Win95 innovation);

* a hierarchical app-launch menu (a Win95 innovation);

* a system tray with the clock and status icons at the opposite end of the panel from the app-launch menus (a Win95 refinement of a MacOS feature).

And so on.

I think you're remembering wrongly or are confusing different GNOME versions.
Thank you, second link of yours starts with the explanation of benefits expected, which is great.

The difference is not exponential, if I may nitpick. It is sublinear in the case of the "triangles example" - WCO would produce O(n^(1.5)), binary join will produce O(n^2), the difference is O(n^(0.5)) or O(sqrt(n)). The difference is big, but not exponential.
> Is there something specific about jerk that makes it important to optimize for, or are all position derivatives of order 3+ the same?

I think of it in terms of neck muscles. If your car is accelerating at a constant rate, you feel that as a force pushing your head back. Your neck muscles activate to compensate and keep your head still.

If the acceleration changes suddenly and aggressively (i.e. high jerk), so does the force on your neck. So either your neck muscles react quickly to counteract the new force, or your head bounces around.

Higher order derivatives also matter, but mostly inasfar as they act on the acceleration (and hence force) that you feel.

Occasionally for sure. But it's just on another level in the US. I can't pinpoint it, but I've spent years in America and visited a lot of toy stores :) we simply don't have aisles full of nerf guns and shit over here. You'll find them, but overall the topic is much, much less romanticized.

> but even "emissions" isn't a simple calculation

It actually can be. A molecule of oil does not burn twice. If you tax all the fossil fuels at the source (i.e. when they are extracted), then you tax all the emissions. The companies that extract the fossil fuels will pass some of the tax to those who buy from them, who will pass some of their purchasing costs to some who buy for them, etc.

You can take that tax revenue and pay people who remove CO2 from the atmosphere. For example if you own forested land you should receive a tax rebate proportional to how much CO2 the forest absorbs. This way you incentivize people to buy land and plant forests.

In the US we have 30 million acres of land cultivated with corn used for ethanol production. The idea is that corn-derived ethanol is not a fossil fuel, and legislating a 10% ethanol fraction in our gasoline is somewhat similar to a 10% reduction in fossil fuel use reduction. Of course, we use a lot of fossil fuels to produce that corn, but the bigger problem is that in the end all the CO2 scrubbed from the atmosphere by the 30 million acres of corn is put right back in when it's burned in a vehicle.

If you start giving people a tax rebate if they plant trees on their land, then the farmers will immediately stop the whole ethanol charade and plant trees.

No.

The Apple menu wasn't originally hierarchical, it was flat in the first 6 major version of classic MacOS; and it wasn't originally an app launcher. It held the control panel and things but no launchers.

It became customisable in MacOS 7, which introduced aliases (symlinks in xNix terms, shortcuts in Win9x terms).

Then you could put aliases in the "Apple menu" folder inside the System folder, and make it into an app-launch menu, but that was not its purpose and MacOS did not ship with it configured like that.

Whereas the Start menu was always hierarchical, and was always an app-launch menu; in Win95 it did little else.
