I dont disagree. But wondering if I am missing anything other than the usual cons such as Memory usage, code ( Storage ) size and longer compile time.
So next time a library such as OpenSSL has a critical security vulnerability that needs to be patched, you'd rather every single binary that has it statically linked is updated, rather than a single shared library file?
This is great. I look forward to giving you money for this.
"relativistic mass" is a polite lie for the math. As far as that partial can tell, it can travel at any speed Newtonianly. The "relativistic mass" is just the extra energy needed from our perspective due to relative time dialation. No new mass is created. The force of gravitation caused the energy before you put it into the photon is that same as after you put it into the photon.
You could make the argument that contracts which say one party can spy on the other and do whatever they want with the data fall under the category of unconscionable.

> that weighs each state's political power appropriately

Define "appropriately" in the context of Wyoming and California.

Also explain what happens if only a single person votes for the same candidate in the 41 states and special districts wth the least EC representation,and 100% of the people in the remaining states vote for the other candidate.

The Electoral College is a hugely flawed mechanism both in terms of reflecting the will of the people vs the will of arbitrary land boundaries, and the actual division of "political power" due to forcing everything to round to the nearest integer and setting a (completely arbitrary) cap on the number of EC votes.
“Shared libraries were introduced for a reason.”

I’m pretty sure the reason is “X11 was large and badly factored, and people who should have known better thought it would save disk space.”

The problems they claim to solve are updates across applications at once, but in the enterprise how often does that actually happen? Application authors still have to test against the new version, and sysadmins still have to roll out the changes required to support the update. In practice they may as well statically link.

Let’s not forget the problems they introduce are significant. Implementations are complex. Applications become less portable. ABI versioning is a pain (versioned symbols are gross). Semantic changes in the shared lib cause chaos. Exec is slower because of the linking done at load time. Dynamic libs are bigger than static ones, AND they’re loaded into memory. More difficult to verify the correctness of a given executable.

The alleged “benefit” here really does not outweigh the cost. If we were doing static linking from the beginning, it’s difficult to say if we would have wound up with things like docker or nix in the first place.
People in this post (multiple threads) seem to think a little shock that doesn’t kill you is not necessarily unsafe. This is mind boggling to me. If one is getting shocked at all, this goes to show some sort of fault in a given device or in the household in which it’s being used period. It’s not safe because it doesn’t kill you lol.

Not sure if this would be valuable to anyone but I have a custom apps script that parses all of my new calendar event and takes certain actions on certain events. For example, events from/to my wife get marked as personal color and private, title starts with a star -> personal and private. Event from workout class system -> mark as fitness and private.

I took a simple google ticket system tutorial and made a whole gapps-script based internal company ticket portal. Using googles auth system meant user-correlatiom became trivial and sped up task resolution. As I was the only person running the IT department, I had the ability to choose and I didn't like any of the corporate products for a company that did business more frugally than falling for death by a thousand license cuts, a very real danger.

Then gapps-script updated, broke some stuff, I got tired of maintaining it, and we got a new dev, so I aquiesced to Jira.

I hate jira.
There are two different exchange rates: The official rate and the black market rate. The latter is the actual value of the money. No one can actually get at their money using the official rate. That's why banks have two different types dollar accounts, one for old dollars (prior to the crash) and ones that have new money.

That was my point, that gravitational storage is surprisingly inefficient.

But since you challenged me on the 11%, I did some research, and now I think that storage may not even be needed (aside from the day-to-night storage via batteries, which is already economical nowadays).

The EIA gives [1] the US electricity generation by month and source for 2020 and 2021. Solar and wind are small nowadays, but if you were to scale to cover the entire annual needs of the US only with solar and wind, you'd get a profile where on some months you get more than you need and on some months you get less.
The longest stretch is in the Summer months (presumably because of AC). During those months, for 3 or 4 months in a row you produce less than you consume. You need about 6% or 7% of total annual consumption in storage to make up for the deficit. If we include conversion losses, and an additional buffer, then my original 11% sounds about right (although I just pulled it out of thin air).

However, if your just use natural gas for those 6-7%, then you don't need storage at all. Cutting the fossil fuel generation from the current 60% to 6% means reducing emissions by more than 90% (lost of current generation is from coal, which emits about double the CO2 than the equivalent gas generation).

You can also overbuild solar and wind a bit, let's say by 20%, and the deficit gets reduced from 6-7% to less than 3%. You can then balance the load using the hydropower that we already have.

So, I think the whole storage problem may not be such a big problem after all.

The rules engine direction is definitely an interesting one, hopefully there’s more exploration into that in the future.

For my needs now I actually wrote something pretty hacky[1] to get a 'reactive' version of DataScript’s Entity API.

As Nikita mentions in the article, I’ve found that most of the time I don’t really need queries in the UI, and so the entity API ends up fitting quite well – except that it’s non-reactive.

The `reactive-entity` library implements a reactive version of (most of?) the entity API, so you can pass entities in/through components, and then the components only re-render when the attributes accessed within those components change (including attributes accessed on other entities through refs).

Loads of room for improvement but I’ve used it successfully in a couple of projects.

The situation with doctors and lawyers is considerably different however.

Doctors, whether MDs or otherwise, tend to be pretty well-compensated in US broadly.

Lawyers are much more of a mixed bag. White shoe law firms--mostly hiring students from top-tier schools with prestigious clerkships? Big bucks though either make partner or are mostly eased out. Some decent corporate law and successful private practices. But it's generally not a particularly well-compensated profession for someone from a mid to low-tier law school. And lots of people who graduate law school and even pass the bar don't actually end up practicing law.
I'm just a layman when it comes to all that but as someone who was raised in Sweden and lived here all my life I feel like the safety net that the government provides plays a huge role in people feeling free to start their own business, or their own band.

Thank you for your response. The Islamic Sufi tradition is simply an advanced level of traditional practice of Islam--a superbly intelligent interpretation that never deviates from the core principles; both Arabs and Persians have contributions in this sphere.

Sheikh Farid-uddin Attar, resident of Neshapour (ancient Persia), mentions in one of his works (I translate, but it will not be perfect):

"Don't let the self (your soul) become familiarized with the Demons--
for once you do, you become one yourself."

In the context of his poem, the Demons refer to the proteges of Satan who cause us to commit sin--the ugly side of the Human being. In other words, if you do something ugly, you will still have your good self, but also now develop a bad self; the more bad you do, the more varieties of bad selves you will develop.

Philosophic psychiatry (that blends religion with psychology, as suggested by Maslow) supports this view as well: recent (2011) paper on the New Unconscious confirms that humans are objectively good: our good self is always there. But when we deviate from this objective goodness, (to the degree that we deviate) we slowly face dissociation--multiple selves emerge as an after-effect.

Elsewhere Hakim Nezami, resident of Ganja (now located in Azerbaijan), writes:

"O, Thou, from Whom the Whole Existence has come about!"

"The weak soil, become able from Thy Mercy!"

While on the surface it may refer to how soil produces food per decree of the Almighty, it also refers to human beings (as we were made from soil originally); the reference to becoming able is in contrast to being weak--when committing sin and doing wrong: the bad self--while becoming able implies no longer being weak: developing the good self.

There can be more but off-hand this should do. :)
It’s actually not bad advice, and it feels crazy to say this considering the security of Windows was atrocious 15 years ago.

At least the bundled zip extractor receives auto-updates via Windows Update. If a zero day RCE drops in 7-zip, how many users will actually be patched 6 months later? 1 year later? I would imagine it would still be a viable exploit because not many people keep their third party software up to date.

Edge really does have security and isolation features that far exceed any other browser (WDAG), Windows Defender is surprisingly adequate and third-party AV software expose a substantial attack surface.
perfectly reasonable to choose not to use react for that reason. CRA is also known to be very bloated. See Vite et al.

Google “OpenSSL dependency conflict” and view the results. There is significantly more work going on when OpenSSL releases and update than “just update the single shared library file.” Applications often need to be updated as well, so you may as well just statically link the new binary.

My optimistic prediction is that there will be regulation around this pretty soon. Were going to have laws similar to smog standards that specify what can and can't a car manufacturer can charge a subscription for. I would imagine legislation would look something like.

> You may offer subscription features, but you must also give the option of a one time purchase that unlocks the feature forever.

or

> You are allowed to charge subscription for features A, B and C. But critical features including X, Y and Z must be provided standard on a vehicle at no extra charge.
There are a number of deficiencies with the current system that aren't showstoppers, but are pain points nonetheless. Off the top of my head:

* There's no reasonable way to do cross-batch dependencies (e.g., if process X in batch A fails, don't run process Y in batch B). I've got a few ideas on how I could add this in, but nothing has been implemented yet.

* There's no easy way to visualize what's going on. Airflow has a Gantt view that looks very useful for this purpose, our business users would absolutely LOVE the task duration graph, and the visualization of the DAG looks really helpful too.

* Continuing a failed batch is a very manual process.

None of these are showstoppers because, as you said, this has been running fine for over a decade. These are mostly quality-of-life improvements.
Apple is no longer a product company and now a peripheral company lol. They are literally selling shit that causes shocks and their solution is for you to purchase another cable of theirs…

They take away ports and sell dongles that require additional dongles. They sell laptops and phones — well over thousands of dollars — without adapters because it’s “environmentally safe”, just to have most people purchase it separately. Such a shit company; I say this a person that owns almost everything in Apple flagship lol

This is a case where you are definitely correct in theory, but in practice we can cheat and/or get screwed over. While it’s an angular momentum situation and not linear momentum, one method of satellite attitude control is “reaction wheels”. Inside the SV, there’s a mass on a motor; to rotate the satellite about an axis, you spin the reaction wheel on that axis in the opposite direction (equal and opposite momentum). In theory, stopping the reaction wheel should result in the same outcome on the SV, but it doesn’t quite because some of the energy of the reaction wheel was burned off as friction heat.

It’s a small effect that adds up over time. Even without this “speed it up to increase its mass” situation the OP is referring to, it seems to me that you could exploit something similar on a spacecraft for linear momentum, by allowing drag on, say, a tennis ball to be asymmetric by shooting it fast in one direction and slowly moving it back in the other. It’s not violating any laws of physics, just exploiting a second-order effect when the first-order effect isn’t going to get you anywhere. You’d eventually need to get rid of the heat, probably just by radiating it out into the void (and, naturally, it wouldn’t be an energy neutral situation, you’d need some kind of power source to make up for the losses)

Anecdotally this would drive my purchasing if I bought a truck today. I started with an old 80s S10, and would love another “small truck” if someone made it. But I also need a vehicle that will transport more than 2 people. In the 80s, a third, small truck for the times you need a truck was a viable approach. Given the sizes it might be a tight fit to have 3 vehicles but it would be doable. Today, the size of trucks makes squeezing one as a 3rd vehicle in my parking areas would be impossible. So if it’s going to replace one of the people haulers, it has to haul people, which means it needs the extended cab space, and then needs to be longer still because buying a truck whose bed space is largely taken up by cab defeats the utility of the truck.

I have owned a ~2012 metal macbook pro in the past and felt the buzzing as it was charging, and would not call that effect a shock (there was no spark, it never hurt, I never got burned or needed a doctor's visit), so if you are being shocked then your situation sounds worse - and different to the buzz most people are talking about with respect to metal macbooks.

(As a kid there were some field telephones[1] in the house, they are ex-military phones you wire directly to each other and they have hand-wound generators which power the other side to ring; we used to play a game of "how long can you touch the contacts while winding it" - that was uncomfortable but had no safety effects that I know of (no burns, bruises, doctor's visits, etc). Even being shocked is not automatically unsafe, although it may be unpleasant and undesirable from any consumer product, let alone premium ones).
