Docker is cool and all.

Kids these days don’t know anything about Tmux and port 433. Exposing localhost to the internet and getting your internet monitored by your ISP and getting letters in the mail; for hosting movies and Storage services.

Lol.
We have an ecosystem where running nontrusted software can be relatively safe... it's just on the web.

Legacy desktop OSes don't have the permissions models that make this easily achievable outside the browser. Even the mobile platforms are only slowly evolving (I want this app to access ONLY this folder or that picture, not all my user files).

Frankly I would never trust users to be able to differentiate between sane and unnecessary permissions. If you make everything super granular or repetitive it's just going to lead to banner blindness (yes, damn it Google, I want this hiking app to know precisely where I am... I told you the last seven times you asked). Or on iOS, having to enter my longass Apple password just to download a free app whenever the fingerprint scanner doesn't work (which is usually). Even without security concerns, native apps are a pain in the ass.

The web is nice in that most of the sandboxing is invisible unless you need special sensor permissions (location, mic, camera, etc.) and so the user never gets bugged about it. Or has to worry about platform idiosyncrasies, disk space, versions, etc. In many ways the web is a superior app delivery platform. Why bother installing "safe" software when you can just run it in a sandbox without any installation or prompts at all? What Java and .NET tried to do back in the day now just happens, sight unseen, in browser windows.
> quite reasonably demanding that autonomous driving doesn't cause any accidents that wouldn't have happened if a human was driving

That's totally unreasonable. If a self-driving car prevents 10,000 accidents that human drivers would have caused, but causes 20 accidents that human drivers would have prevented, we should accept it without demanding further safety improvements first.

> The bar issimply 'better than a person'.

This, on the other hand, is totally reasonable.
>Thinking "for a fact" that users will do something is a perfect way to make several of them unhappy when they want to do something else :-P.

My point is those users will be unhappy anyway, they choose to break their own system. There is little reason to try to accommodate them further. The alternative is always going to be don't use that WM or don't have scaling support. It is not superior as you are always faced with this choice. That is the choice you get when you want to use legacy apps and WMs which is the only real reason to still be using X11.
And yet, if you look at the reactions, it precisely anticipated how people would react and asked them to try to try to be open to the possibility that the blog posting had a point.

This is not the ask. Its just to have some kind of API.
Is it viable to build a traditional web product/company on top of Haskell?

That sounds like a silly question - but I’m serious. I’m enamored by the beauty of FP, but I’m not sure if there’s enough tooling or libraries to get to market.

For example - GraphQL. There are two packages (mu and morpheus), but neither clearly document their feature parity in relation to other packages for other languages - and things like dataloaders.

The Reddit almost encourages people to use a different language, too.
True enough. Remote workers moving to non-Asheville Appalachia and some related tech companies could have interesting outcomes for the region. I worry about whatever you call Ozarks gentrification though. There’s a lot of cheap land away from the mining/coal environmental issues that the locals have a lock on right now but decent RSU grants more than pay for.
Hestenes’s tireless promotion is necessary because most everyone else, having grown up with a different formalism, is too entrenched / busy to try to make a basic change to what we teach and use, even when that change would provide tremendous benefits.

In physics there was some uptake where appropriate, but mathematicians for the most part scoff (“this is just a different notation for structures that were studied in the 19th century, there’s nothing new here” kind of thing).

But being able to multiply and divide vectors is a big deal, and GA is packed with incredibly useful identities. Working coordinate-free in a rich enough language of geometric relationships makes it (a) a lot easier to solve gnarly geometric problems, and (b) a whole heck of a lot easier to demonstrate and explain those solutions.

The change of perspective has been most impactful in fields where the details can’t be hand-waved away because they are getting interpreted by a computer, so streamlining them helps a lot. In particular, computer graphics, computer vision, robotics, physical simulation, and the like.
Rubygems already has signatures. To a first approximation, nobody bothers.

I know you're very gung ho on the idea of curation, but let me be blunt. Nobody is going to do it. Debian has on the order of 97k packages with 990 volunteer members curating them. RubyGems has 180k packages with 3 volunteers. Really it's 2 volunteers.

So unless you know of 987 volunteers champing at the bit to review 180k packages from scratch, it's just not going to happen. And let's not even start on PyPI (340k packages) or npm (2 million packages).
There is - it's the el nino / la nina ENSO cycle. I think other people are right that the rain has to go somewhere but that thing can and has caused droughts over effectively the entire populated world. There was a world drought in the 1870s that badly affected brazil, northern africa, india, and northern china.
a lot of people overlook the UK - in terms of the simplicity of doing business. from favourable taxes etc. however the biggest con in the uk, is unmotivated people.
> The car was clearly "self driving" when it crossed the lane line

Because it's impossible the driver was driving it manually and made a mistake?

It's entirely possible that this was indeed a testing incident (although late afternoon and family with the driver doesn't sound like it, could still be), but we do not know that yet.
Religion, especially in public life, has made a big comeback under the current ruling party. This party is also generally considered an upper-caste party. I assume much of it is due to implicit soft support from the ruling establishment.

If you mean email campaigns, then no. This is a large topic. Without covering all the details of what is required to set up an email marketing business/platform this is not in any way something one could do on a small budget. Anything one hosts on rented servers or VPS would be blocked by the destination almost immediately once the email volume goes over their threshold and that threshold is very tiny nowadays.

Hosting a personal email server works fine on some providers assuming one sets up FCrDNS, DMARC, and finds a clean IP. By personal email server I mean that one sends emails to their friends and family. Some providers are starting to require people to prove they comply with the CAN SPAM act [1]. Once that server starts targeting random or large numbers of people it will be promptly sink-holed off the internet and the VPS account would be at risk of suspension.

Bad policies combined with unchecked growth and inefficient water use is my understanding (John Oliver had a good segment on it). When farmers feel the need to grow alfalfa just to make sure they'll keep their share of water rights - in a drought-prone area - that's effed up. What we should have been doing is efficient drip irrigation and conservation efforts, instead it's the polar opposite that's going on.
Maybe, but in this case I don't think it's fallacious. She publishes, is cited all over the place, teaches at a well regarded school, and has explicitly and plainly said CICO is wrong when it comes to weight loss.

This[1] is a good summary of a talk she gave about a year ago and in it she talks a bit about the non-CICO factors in weight gain or loss. Here's one example:

“The gut microbiota of those that are lean versus those that have obesity are quite different, so much so that we can often take the gut microbiota out of individuals that are lean and place it in those that have obesity and see weight shifts with no other modifications."
This is a good summary of the primary challenge of every EV maker.

Middle of nowhere, Canada, far away from any metro area. I've been working remotely for years as a result. Seems tough to find any .NET work in digital space (plenty of javascript and rails from my experience). I ascribe this to the perception of .NET being more corporate.
It's nothing that requires much research. The current national government openly supports discrimination on religious and caste based backgrounds. 7 years of this, and people who used to think "Caste is a taboo subject, and we should be working around it", now think "Caste pride is cool".

I'm not so sure it was the dork factor per se. It seems to me that Segway made it more about them and their technology and less about me.

Put another way, it was all about its features and not nearly enough about benefits (to me).

How is it lying with statistics to take into consideration the prevalence of drunk driving?
I'm surprised by this... I'd imagine that all of the BS we've added to airport procedures (under the guises of "security", mostly), would sort of help negate the typical "Concorde" case. In a universe where you still need to show up umpteen hours early for check-in, baggage, security, does having a plane that may cut a fraction of the time of the trip really seem compelling?

"So it doesn't feel like a chore and easy to maintain within your lifestyle."

This is it for me, absolutely. I've always been a bike commuter, so that was my cardio for decades— 10x 20min bike ride to and from work each week, year round. When I lost the commute with pandemic WFH, I fairly quickly shot up 15lbs.

The journey back was in finding ways that I could recreationally get that same experience, which for me has been a combination of walks, distance cycling, and lane swimming. All of these are things I enjoy for their own sake, and are great mental health resets. They're also things I can do with others, so there's that little bit of accountability woven into it as well. I'm not really watching what I eat, though I did cut out a bunch of snacking (especially at bedtime), and I switched my breakfast to a protein smoothie.

Now I'm down 30lbs+ from my pandemic high, and probably the best shape I've been in since my early twenties.

For me the problem is that yaml (and the compose specificatio n) is not self sufficient to support complex scenarios. You will start by setting things and discovering that ENV vars * on the global scope of the compose specification are not supported so you end up having to template and output yaml.

Try having 40 microservices and quickly iterate between fixing bugs in them. Some you want mounted, others you want running unmounted. I understand the premise is already broken, you do not want 40 microservices, but that's not a precondition you can fix without a time machine.

[[* EDIT: by env vars on the global scope, I mean setting things on the global scope by using an env var, say, you want a certain volume named after an environment variable. You can only use ENVs as values.

I got very interested in this kind of stuff a few months ago in an effort to get better at climbing.

I can't access the full paper but going from the abstract, this result isn't super surprising for two major reasons: mainly that once a week isn't often enough, and the once-a-week workout group might also be doing unnecessary muscle damage with such a heavy workout. It would be interesting if they had included more groups that did more reasonable workout schedules like twice or three times a week with three sets a day. I imagine those groups would see better results than the 5-days-a-week group. A further caveat is that the abstract doesn't mention if the individuals are untrained. Assuming they're untrained, that often explains a lot of the gains you see in these papers.

That's not to say this is unimpressive. For sedentary people, it means that just a small amount of non-exhausting exercise can make significant changes to the body. These researchers actually have another paper from earlier this year that shows that just squeezing your muscles can result in 10% strength gains (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sms.14138?af=R)

I'm not Indian but my understanding is that you can typically tell someone's caste by their last name. I'd also imagine there'd be a host of cultural information that would be hard to fake, like knowing certain prayers or rituals. Brahmin's are vegetarian, so you'd have to only eat vegetarian at the office to pretend to be one. I even had a friend who told me his sub-caste had their own secret language they spoke.
IMHO a better title would have been:

"American Airlines to buy 20 Overture aircraft from Boom Supersonic"

When reading the original title, I had the impression that the company was going to be acquired by AA.

Instead, it's "just" an order of 20 aircrafts.

Note that this is not a new move by Boom, they played this card when raising money when they pitched at YC demo day, and they're doing it again. The problem I have with this is the following:

> agreement to purchase up to 20 Overture aircraft, with an option for an additional 40. American has paid a non-refundable deposit on the initial 20 aircraft

It's "up to 20", and not "20", and there is a non-disclosed non-refundable deposit. If it's a, say, $10,000 per aircraft, total of $200,000 (ouch, should I say... up to $200,000?), it's a just a cheaper ad for AA, and ammo for the CEO when the board asks "where are you innovating?".

Good luck to Boom, but I am unconvinced this is a viable company and a viable business.
For AF, my understanding (and my source actually worked that side of the business) is Concorde got profitable with special flights (aka people renting the plane to travel the world) not from just your regular scheduled flights.

But keep in mind neither BA nor AF really paid for their fleet...
This is kinda a dumb argument, but if we have to constantly be reminded not to be racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, etc we might as well throw casteist into the mix. I'm actually feeling a little schadenfreude now that there's finally an -ism where i'm not part of the demographic that's the "bad guy".
The relevant question from philodelta was about how to stay alive without going bankrupt paying for insulin. Excessive insulin prices are a problem, but most type-2 diabetics can greatly reduce or even eliminate their need for exogenous insulin through permanent lifestyle changes. This is much cheaper (and healthier) than paying for insulin.

They did the same thing that Jaguar did, when they went from the late-70s underpinnings of the X308 XJ to the all-new X350 XJ in 2003. The style cues...the first things that meet the eye; the curve of the rear fender and the shape of the headlights-those things were kept-but the proportions of the car are different. The new one was taller and narrower, with a proportionally smaller greenhouse. It takes a while to see it; but it's a dramatic difference when you do.

The Charger/Challenger were the same way. Th '70s originals were built on the old Dodge Coronet platform-low and wide. The new (current) ones, built on the Chrysler LX platform shared much of their hidden sheetmetal with the Mercedes W210/W211 E-class; so instead of low and wide, they're tall and narrow, more like a German luxury sedan. Without, you know, the good visibility.

De-monitization on YouTube should make this obvious to anyone.

Why would YouTube recommend content that isn't going to make them money?

Companies get to decide what makes money / where their ads are placed (this makes sense).

The problem is - the social media companies are big enough that they don't really need to care about your user experience. You AREN'T the customer! All they care about is serving you ads.

YouTube would much rather you have a mediocre experience using YouTube for 5 minutes and they make $0.50 off you than you have an outstanding experience for 30 minutes but they make $0 off you.

You get what you pay for - and with Social Media... That's nothing.
> This is not a winning proposition. Even if we presume these will fly from a VIP terminal so the time you spend at an airport is low, you still need to get there. I just can't see everyone being flown in and out on a helicopter but maybe my imagination is stunted. Once you begin to add up those hours, you are just not saving enough time for the surely astronomical cost.

This is true for getting to JFK from Manhattan, which is 40 minutes with 0 traffic and then the airport is absolutely massive and has long lines, but Boston -> Logan or SF to SFO is minutes. I think my total time from my door to my gate is ~30-40 minutes when I fly SFO.

But more rain doesn't necessarily equate to more ground level water supply. Rain more easily evaporates, and can then be transported elsewhere. Snowpack historically is critical to water supplies in the West because it slowly melts and provides a steady source of water throughout the dry season. A mega storm with no way to capture the water AND prevent it from evaporating in the dry season can still provide far less water than an equivalent amount of snowpack.
and resells to the government for double the price because they're good at writing bids for government projects.

We're a major supplier to government agencies, and I personally wrote our pricing engine. Obviously I see the inputs to the pricing, and I can assure you that this is very far from the truth.

First, margins on products like this are very, very thin. Like, it's not unusual for the state to make more in sales tax from an order than we're taking in margin.

Second, specifically relating to US public sector contracts, there's a federally-negotiated contract that any public sector entity can buy off of - look up "GSA contract"[1]. The way pricing is arrived at is defined here, and it would really stupid for some government entity to go off the ranch and buy something at a higher price than this would dictate. They may well negotiate their own contract that is better (we have tons and tons of customers who do this), but why would they pay more if the GSA contract dictates a lower price?
