Apple hasn't released FSD for the laptop line yet, but their industrial design is already improving safety in this area.
All the objections to this that I have are from the breathless tone of this article, and the many others in the past that have made big claims for the sake of precious, precious clicks. Whether or not this particular design revolutionizes the field is beside the point. As we know, most things do not. But if he's made something novel that expands our understanding, and he's done it in a garage without institutional backing, or investors, or even a mentor, then it's an impressive achievement.

Pickup trucks are the most popular vehicles in America. How many lives would be saved if everyone switched to jellybean cars? What’s the benefit relative to the cost?

Don’t forget that “green” EVs are also extremely heavy. At 4,300 to 5,000 lbs, a Model S is squarely in the same weight class as a Ford F-150. When you get hit by a 4,500 pound vehicle, whether it looks “mean” or like a jellybean doesn’t make much difference.

I wrote an interactive QtPy program- it receives video frames over the net and allows the user to interact (steering a microscope) in real time. I use millisecond timers (which generate signals delivered to slots) all the time.

After doing a bit of tuning I was able to steer the microscope with no visible latency, which means I'm handling user events at ~25FPS or higher and not seeing any high variances. The only problems I have are when the handler that receives a signal takes longer than I have budgeted (IE, more than 1000/25).

that's exactly the kind of divide-and-conquer approach that queer solidarity is a bulwark against though - whether you're gay, straight, bisexual, or trans, we all face a very particular kind of oppression having to do with sex and gender, and our best bet for countering that oppression is to have eachother's backs: if you're coming after trans people you're going to have to get through the rest of us first.

IME people define roles and groups in Okta which then translate to how auto provisioning works. As you know, support for these features via SCIM varies wildly which is where y’all come in.

I’m not sure if other products like Rippling or JumpCloud already fill this gap though.

Not clear your meaning. Are you referring to the mobile phone being used during 2FA auth flows? In this case, the authorization is not to a device but rather to a number on the cellular network. You can swap devices without your bank knowing and without disrupting your authorization. Are you referring to mobile banking apps? If so, again, the bank is not authorizing an individual device. The authorization is a sign in session on the app. You can swap phones and download the app very easily without contacting the bank.

> It's not enough to buy a new phone. You need to contact every single service that's bound to the lost/stolen/broken phone and authorize the new one before you can use their services.

Are you referring to changing phone numbers maybe? If so, that is a totally different topic from OP and also from my comments.

God Mobi is so frustrating to deal with. I batch add books to my old kindle paperwhite once a year. It's a nightmare everytime. Sometimes emails to my kindle works. Sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes their official app works. Sometimes it doesnt.

Sometimes Everything needs to be mobi. Sometimes other formats will be accepted but then look like shit.

I love the hardware of my paperwhite and its by far the best ~$115 I've ever spent on a device but getting books onto it, other than buying through the amazon kindle store, is the worst.
Oh, man, as a non-astrophysicist, I would love for someone like Dr. Becky Smethurst to explain this in layman's terms. (Obviously I understand the importance of the conclusion, but I don't understand the evidence that leads to it.)
Generally life extension runs up against three non-technical problems:

Addicts will fight VERY hard in support of their addiction. Try telling a life long sugar addict to fix their T2 diabetes by eating fewer carbs; they'll completely explode at you. People who die from smoking were usually told about a million times to quit smoking before their diagnosis, LOL.

Innumerate people seem to actively oppose statistics. There is only it works or it doesn't and they'll have a complete meltdown at the concept that maybe 80% of lung cancer is caused by smoking and 20% for other causes therefore there is nothing they can do to alter their pre-determined destiny. Arguably belief in predestination and/or innumeracy could be considered a mental illness (see below) but I'm specifically referencing the stubborn desire to beat the odds by ignoring the odds. (edited to emphasize, the type of thing I'm referring to is the aggressive proselytization of the idea that finding one counterexample or anecdote disproves the entire corpus of all theoretical and applied statistical mathematics)

Most people decline and die younger for some kind of psychological reason. They're depressed so they can't do anything so they can't exercise so they get fat and die of a heart attack, they did in a certain technical sense die because they were fat, but they got fat because they were depressed. Or they have an addiction problem. Or they follow quacks because they think if martyrdom is religiously superior then punishing themselves is superior even if it shortens their life, or they follow medical advice based mostly upon making money off prescriptions, or they follow medical advice that was proven obsolete via research last century, or they are so into collectivism and "fitting in" that they would literally rather die than think for themselves or read a book, whatever the TV (or social media) says is not just good enough, but should be forced on people, even if it kills them.
If the California High Speed Rail project was ever going to succeed - it would've went from Los Angeles to San Diego (118 miles almost entirely densely populated).

The fact that they planned for it to go from Los Angeles to the Bay (340+ miles almost entirely nothing) is pretty strong evidence that basically everyone involved was only trying to win elections and not really make HSR happen.

Los Angeles to San Diego is makes much more sense. Just having a bullet train from the West Side to DTLA to Long Beach to somewhere in OC would've had massively higher ridership and cost less money.

Everyone involved just wanted to waste money to win elections (and to no surprise, it worked).

I hate Elon as much as anyone. If he even played a small part in this - the much larger blame goes to the politicians.

Oh, that’s really cool. Rust noob here, and I hadn't seen the tooling for building Python bindings. That looks like it could be a very powerful way to speed up your Python programs (much easier than the “just replace the slow bits in C” advice that was standard.)

The mappings in https://github.com/kylebarron/geopolars/blob/master/py-geopo... for example look very easy to follow.
I am increasingly exasperated by apps that do not follow the XDG specification for config at this point. Having a ton of dotfiles sitting in the root of the home directory is just a maintenance nightmare on every level.

I've gone so far as to keep my config directory visible -- ~/.config is a symlink to ~/config, which actually holds all my config, conveniently a git repository in itself for easy portability and tracking.

Major threads on Reddit typically have ~5-10% of comments removed. Anything political and it goes to ~25% [1].

When pushback gets [removed], not just downvoted, you start to think certain topics have unquestioned support. So it's easy to forget that what's mainstream or controversial on Reddit and Twitter can be very different than real life.

My current move is creating initial versions of images with Midjourney, which seems to be a bit more "free-spirited" (read: less _literal_, more flexible) and then using DALL-E's replace tool to fill in the weird looking bits. It works pretty well, but it's a multi-step process and requires you have pay for Midjourney and DALL-E.

I'm not sure we're talking about different things.

> in my experience the target consumers for no-code/low-code aren't the people completely intimidated by computers or navigating software in the first place.

These tools are definitely not for them, I agree.

> Low-code solutions seem to be just a lower on-ramp.

Agree.

> a lot more people can "code" than can write programs in the sense that they fundamentally can abstract the necessary logic, but are intimidated by the unfamiliar work flow.

Not quite sure what you're getting at here. But - the way people talk about "Citizen Developers" is, it's the people who know the business logic really well, they know their tools really well also. Spreadsheets, web forms, even some databases perhaps. But not "coders" per se.

So you start with a person like this. They want to automate something using a no-code solution. Sooner or later, they're going to have to parse some input file, hopefully something structured like JSON or XML. They have to learn about parsing such files, which is by any measure a programming skill, even if they're using a no-code tool for it. They need to learn the principles of it to make it work for them. And thus:

> Citizen developers can be born from this demographic of people

At that point you're training a developer.

> the problem is that the tools available are often too limited to stick with and don't allow for production solutions.

This is also my experience. But if we imagine evolving all those tools out there to be production reliable, and flexible enough for whatever task... You still have to take on the journey of training a non-programmer to be a programmer of some stripe. You don't end up with the dream of non-programmers intuitively building production apps out of thin air.

Visual Basic I believe was born from the same idea, of making more intuitive tools so people could focus on the business logic, and less the fiddly bits of coding. But make no mistake, Visual Basic produced programmers, and not business people who built apps.

The damage to subway of even millions of lost sales is much less impact on their operations than the small place who could lose all their customers.

I am discussing the idea in general. That's perfectly fine if you personally don't agree. Although I do not agree that there are only two options: 1) Do this, 2) Do nothing. It is always possible to.. 3) Do something else.
Same here, but as I've become more reliant on shared documents (Google Docs and Lucidchart) I've been wishing it was possible to bring those in natively.
You're correct, moving the folder can expose a poorly written tool, meaning a tool that isn't following the symlink and isn't using XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

To me, it's an advantage to surface the latent problems, so I can message the authors to ask them about updating. So far, all authors are good with updating.

It turns out the bulk of the issues are in internal scripts that hardcoded ~/.config instead of using XDG_CONFIG_HOME. This is an easy fix, and at the same time we shellcheck those scripts.

You're talking about fuel, and we're talking about trash.

From refinement to the reactor and spent fuel processing, the nuclear power industry generates a huge amount of trash that is low-grade radioactive and thus cannot be just dumped in a landfill.

The nuclear industry has had over seventy years to get their act together regarding fuel recycling. They'd rather just dump it into pools on-site because it's cheapest and makes it Someone Else's Problem. It's the same attitude of the chemical industry from the 1950's: dump it in a hole and let someone else deal with it after you've long since left.

Here's an idea: let's spend the money on wind turbine blade, battery, and solar panel repurposing and recycling instead.
The far left "progressive" movement does have control over and the ears of a lot of these large corps. They are probably less than 10% but are great at organizing. Yet one more reason to split up the megacorps in silicon valley, some other regions and more moderate parts of the US can gain some traction. This is coming from a progressive, but a progressive who also balks at controlling free speech when it isn't calling for specific violence. I also support the right of corps to kick hatemongers off their platform.
In a literal sense, you're right. But the ideas and values that underpins the LGBT movement and many of the people who identify with it are not compatible with accepting just part of that group.

There was a tool that could find the "equilibrium" called Translation Party. I don't think it works anymore. I'd love to see one that goes back and forth between DALL-E and an image description algorithm.
There are much better tools for doing that, such as Guix profiles and nix-shell, which also happen to be better tools for making container images.

Smalltalk looked at the time like it was going to be important. It had really good marketing.

I have a directory under ~/config, ~/config/dotfiles, that just has files that are intended to be dot-prefixed and linked in the home directory. That avoids any accidental over-linking; I can just run a script that links ~/config/dotfiles/$X to ~/.$X and I'm done.
The game developer can decide how to monetize. They can charge $0 or $1 or $50 for the game itself, and take 0% or 5% or 25% from each transaction in the UGC marketplace.

An "Ethereum Rollup" is just a "fast blockchain" that has very similar security guarantees as Ethereum. If you wanted to take payments, create UGC markets, and record asset ownership without a blockchain, you are back to centralized services and their constraints.

I do play and develop games and have spent $ on games, and would like more of my $ to go toward the game publisher and content creators rather than intermediaries and app stores. I also would like to own digital assets that are more composable, and not tied to a single company's servers or app stores. This is the model that Dark Forest[1] is exploring.

> Replication in Redis is cheap. If your data is small and latency is a concern (eg happened to me with an adserver), then you can locate read-only Redis replicas everywhere. The speed of querying off of your local machine is not to be underestimated.

If you don't believe that, then it leads to nihilismm, apathy or Marxism. The idea that there is or should be a link between effort and reward is fundamental to any functioning society. It's actually people who don't believe in the just world hypothesis who end up acting anti-socially, as history makes clear.
Would love to read your thoughts on this. My note-taking is super messy.

Really? Do you think the US "unbanked" don't fall into this category, for example? Hell, these days US women who want abortions could fall into this category.

Well for comedy its patterns. You hear something once and its just a thing, the second time you hear it you remember the first time and you might chuckle, the third time your brain recognizes it as a pattern and building off the first two times you heard it and its, "funny".

I'm over simplifying but that is really the basis of a lot of comedy. Stand up less so. Most improv runs on the rule of threes though. It's an easy way to make something not funny at least a little funny.

Try it in a meeting or presentation sometime. Start with some goofy line or joke. Mention it again in the middle. Close with it. You'll probably get laughs. Even if its not that funny and got crickets the first time.
