> But we have to wait 3 - 5 business days (sometimes longer) for money to transfer between banks here in the US

For quite a lot of transactions, you can pay extra to make them near-instant. The capability is and has been there for a long time, it’s just moated by a profit model that penalizes the people with the greatest need for quick access to use resources which rightly belong to them.
rcmd sounds like a great idea but you really don't use right command for things like quit, copy paste, undo, etc?

right command for keys on left and left command for keys on right?
Just go build your own as long as it's exactly the same as all the rest. "Freedom"...
At least Excel and Google Sheets both display it the way I described. Adding Apple Numbers, which I never use unfortunately, I think that should cover like 90% of actual use cases to be considered as "convention".
Won't need a ground station once they have the inter-satellite laser links working.
> Where is the actual proof humans are changing the climate? Not theory. Not models. But scientific proof? If we are going to make huge policy shifts that affect everyone’s economic prosperity, then it better be more than some computer modeling.

The only way to get actual proof if is we ran a large number of experiments on parallel worlds. This is impossible. There is no control in climatology, only extrapolation. Climatology is more akin to history or archeology than science.
Had those in California a year or three before the pandemic.
> A DJI Mavic drone was used a few years ago to aid in a rescue operation on K2

Are drone rescue-assist stories collected somewhere? I dreamed about this kind of thing all the time as a kid and now that it's actually happening I want the details!

Congrats to DJI.
For anyone interested in getting a vague sense of what it might have been like to be Mikhail Gorbachev there is a pretty low-fi simulator game called Crisis in the Kremlin on Steam.

I played through it and it requires juggling the various factions in Soviet Russia. I ended up getting couped by the military but just reading the various prompts and choosing where to put resources gave me a better understanding of the dilemmas anyone in power in the USSR might have been going through.

I can't attest to whatever bias might have been embedded in the game mechanics but it was interesting. Actually I only played the 2017 re-make. I didn't realize there was an original game from 1991. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_in_the_Kremlin
That's kind of a moot question because a slower transition was never even an option. The USSR was rapidly collapsing into anarchy. Especially in the outer areas, the security forces stopped obeying orders. In a lot of factories, workers simply left and looters hauled away everything of value. Industry ceased to function in a matter of months.
> Nigeria and Indonesia are not at all like Germany

South Korea has recieved as much ecobomic aid as all of Africa combined in the 20 years after its formation.
Congratulations on launching.

However as a potential customer interested in this space - I'm not sure the pricing/value prop is competitive for me. I used a service called InsideTracker (lab based blood test) earlier this year which measures 43 biomarkers (including hsCRP - my result was 0.4). I think I paid ~$500 for it but that gives a much more holistic view.

Is there a case for tracking hsCRP more frequently if my lifestyle is relatively healthy? Are there a few other biomarkers you could include for tracking more regularly with a finger prick? I could see at-home tests being more convenient.
heh, I bet the battery performance was below par :-D

actually I wonder what the ambient temp is up there compared to say the surface of mars
They're probably being taught by academics who were adapted to the old school low-resource style of programming, and have been out of industry long enough that they never adapted to modern best practice. And assignments tend to praise cleverness over readability and long-term maintainability, because who cares if it's read-only code when your assignment only spans a few weeks and then never matters again - you just need to impress the professor (or TA who does the actual grading) and move on.

The university system does sometimes result in students having strange ideas that are a bit divorced from industry best practices (and in some cases reality), due to the attitudes of their teachers rubbing off on them. I had one professor who continually insisted we were on the verge of a major resurgence of semantic web technologies and strict XHTML, and a friend who took a dev tools course (mostly focusing on git, makefiles, etc.) and was told tools like Maven would never take off and you're better off managing dependencies by hand (this was around ~2017).

I don't want to be harsh on academics / the tertiary education system in general, but I think it's kind of an unavoidable consequence. Maybe "boot camp" students fare better?
Not to mention it was a one trick pony. I remember it was great when I saw it with friends in the theater. We rented it later on to see the extra scenes and couldn't get through half of it because of how boring it was.
It doesn't matter, but it looks bad to have piles of dead birds below the turbines, and it makes the employees sad.

If you can fix much of it with some paint, most people would do it.
The same could be said about the opposite.
No lanes are placed, the junior developer (or intermediate) will design a system that they are not qualified for and the problem will be discovered only at pull-request time, when a huge waste has already occurred. Or worse, the PR will be reviewed by a senior developer that's not experienced in system architecture and will get approved.

It's pretty common even in senior developers to not be experienced in system architecture, so the problem is not resolved with this approach (based again, uniquely on my experience. I didn't run any statistics)
We need a new word specifically for these left wing conspiracy theories. The “who radicalized you!” meme comes close but it needs to be shorter.

My favourite is probably 1999. [Spoiler warning], I grew up in Canada at a time when the high profile case of Michael Dunahee's disappearance caused parents to act much more protectively of their children, effectively the death of socially healthy, independent outside play for many kids. This happened in the same city where "Michelle Remembers" allegedly took place. It feels oddly cathartic to me, to hear this story of an actual satanic kidnapper, in Canada, at this time. Maybe because I wish to believe that the stifling protection that our parents tried to offer was justified. I dunno. People are weird about parents.

What pisses me off, is someone else tried to write a "sequel" to where Mr. Bear actually carries out the kidnapping of Michael, or a similar real world case. Exploiting a real kidnapping to try to create an ARG out of a real disappearance is sick. Some people complained about the RPG Y2K's plot recreating the case of Elisa Lam shot for shot, but going all "this actually happened ooOOoo my spooky story could be reeeeeeal" is another order of magnitude. At best it'll gum up real tip lines and private investigations with posts by LARPers and kids.

The name reminds me of my 1st grade teacher, saying the year name emphatically every day, "Nineteen Ninety Nine" as she'd write it on the white board. And now here we are, "Twenty Twenty Two!"... I think it will be 1013 years before the year name is that fun to say again.

Rest in peace Sir. Because of you hundreds of millions of people are living a better life. A pity that Putin came shortly after and is in the active process of destroying a country (or two). But you couldn't control that. You did more than most people in the world to move humankind towards a better place.
Yeah like 35 dollars per transaction right?
Fundamentally decent man ... don't want to jinx it but reminded me of Jimmy Carter. Separated by 5-10 years in their peak power, with similar difference in their age. Both well regarded by their followers but eventually significantly irrelevant (except symbolism) once out of power.
Same. I get the same weird feeling when I dig a long straight 1 block wide by 2 block high tunnel through unknown underground spaces in Minecraft.
Or buy old MREs. When Steve1989 smokes a Camel or Chesterfield from the 1940s and describes the experience on YouTube, all I want in the world is to smoke one of those little sticks of ecstasy. And I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, though everybody around me smoked. (My lungs are just too averse, maybe because I grew up around in-door chain smokers.)
I kinda wonder how much altitude factors into vertical climb performance and hover.
As others are saying the best approach is simply "No, thank you".

Slightly off topic but the more persistent types have been trained/given scripts to (rudely) probe for reasons no matter what you say - as if it has ever been a case of "oh yes, now you've been annoying, I think I will accept your invite"! Personally I have no particular concerns about being rude to that sort, but i find that ambiguous emoji replies work great to shut down further efforts (even better than no response)
South Korea does rational thing, as it evaluated the options and realized it has no other choice.
The output of these models seems really impressive, but for my money the notion that it has value is undermined by the way its trainers keep "proprietary" data that is likely to be in violation of image usage rights at a large scale. What is the true value of something that can only be had at the other end of misbegotten extraction/exploitation? It seems like a similar trade-off to the one that web3 proponents are asking us to make. The apparent end-game is that we'll kill off all the true value creators - the working artists responsible for the source data - and all we'll be left with is an artifact of their works.
Consumer drones have reached the point of insane use cases that I dont think a lot ever believed possible.

They are being used in the Ukraine/Russia conflict atm by each side for spotting and dropping grenades and mortar shells. They are doing it by rigging them up with cheap aftermarket parts and then rigging the AUX light on/off to trigger the drop.

They are also being used in other conflicts in Syria, Yemen, and Myanmar.

They quite literally have changed warfare because they are so affordable.

Really interesting overall. Will be interesting to see this all morphs into.

> we have to wait 3 - 5 business days (sometimes longer) for money to transfer between banks here in the US

The US has been historically so flush with capital and regionally isolated that there was no burning need nor desire for much centralized governance let alone bank coordination so it still hasn’t developed the muscles to do much of that. Historically, other countries have needed to tightly control and coordinate capital in order to survive against geopolitical challenges and so have everything in place in order to, for instance, make the end user banking experience efficient between banks. Understand this and suddenly America makes a whole lot more sense.

> Everything traces back to colonialism

How long will you keep blaming colonialism. Since you want someone to blame shouldnt you blame the natives who allowed a foreign power to rule over them because natives could be easily manipulated using divide and rule strategy.
I ride an EUC that has a top speed of around 30mph, it's a couple years old (a Tesla V2) and the current crop (prior to the model in the article) are all capable of 45mph or so. I feel safe on mine and ride in urban traffic, and everyone I know that rides is very safety conscious.

They have public documentation[1] about running macOS in a VM, so maybe they’ve let that go?

The parts of their ToS you are alluding to mostly talks about it being against ToS to run macOS on non-Apple hardware and since Apple makes chips now it’s very possible that the entire Xcloud service is running on Apple hardware.

I think the main thing is that windmills kill endangered condors and eagles, while cars run over pigeons. Not that cars and cats killing small birds is good...
Far from accurate, this must be compiled by a non-gamers.

For example, total iphone games are only 10337? Can't be possible, the real number should be at least X10!
Anything to show growth. While I appreciate and understand having a vision, I'd have loved some of these products to just be as it is. With solid feature and we'll maintained. Alas that probably motivates no one and definitely not wall street
`@bitCast` addresses this use case:

const std = @import("std");
const expect = std.testing.expect;

test {
const group1: P = .{ .a = true, .b = true };
const group2: P = .{ .c = true };
const group3 = @bitCast(P, @bitCast(u4, group1) | @bitCast(u4, group2));
try expect(group3.a);
try expect(group3.b);
try expect(group3.c);
try expect(!group3.d);
}

const P = packed struct {
a: bool = false,
b: bool = false,
c: bool = false,
d: bool = false,
};
Public transportation is also heavily based on subsidies. The ticket price only covers a fraction of the cost.
What if the feature/module designed has to interact with other parts of the system?

I saw that all the time, it's really hard to identify the right partitions in a system. It requires a lot of research and experience. Whenever one of those partitions is missed/overlooked, the software gets muddy and hard to work with around that area.

When brought to the extreme where very little boundaries were identified, this is common in CRUD apps where entities are confused with partitions the entire time, every change to the code ripples from the database all the way to the frontend.

In Rails world, this is a highly common problem: a change to database schema affects the UI directly, so every time something is changed in the schema, the following has to change:
- JSON renderers
- React or HTML views
- db schema

Even for additive changes
True enough. As to my botany example, you don't really hear of plants being referred to as he, she, boys, girls, men or women. Or cow/bull etc., as with humans and other animals. Just male and female.

To reiterate one of my other comments, the time of appearance and usage of the terms show how language changes over time. As of yet, I'm unaware of "homogender" and "heterogender" terms, although they can be translated directly into known/existing sexuality categories that aren't the same as heterosex and homosex.
Fully disagree.

Economic reforms were trash, the Chinese did them better.
Political reforms broke the system. The Chinese avoided doing them and look at them today.
Nonsense. A lot of things sound nice in paper but - all the human data I’ve seen (enormous amounts of anecdotes and counter histories) the entire post soviet transition was recklessly managed by Master of the Universe / Friedman types who created one of the great economic catastrophes in human history.

One day the real history of those times will be written, but this is not it. Economism is faith based, not a science.
We paid like $350 for a couples massage on a cruise. It was almost worth it, until in our relaxed state the spa workers tried to sell us $80 lemon water claiming it would cure chronic diseases, and my blood pressure shot up to its max.
I mean they definitely can (and do) enter in to legal agreements with “themselves”. Many companies do, especially when it comes to licensing (even Subway does it).

It’s one of the most common methods for shifting income to other countries where the taxes are lower.
Transfers within Venmo fake immediacy. If it depends on an ACH transfer (ie the money is coming from a bank account and not an existing Venmo balance) then the money will be taken back if the ACH fails.

It's transfers between Venmo and a bank that would get faster.
Absolutely reasonable, however how do you know who are the more experienced folks?
In a small organization, that's doable, but when you get to 50 engineers, knowing who to ask is important.
It's an interesting question. Radiant heating from the sun should be improved, and the lower air density should slow heat loss due to conduction

I use the cryptocurrency from MIT (Algorand), which literally costs 1/10 of a penny and confirms within about 14 seconds. Block times moving to 3.7 imminently so that will change to under 12 seconds and then we will get 2.5 second block times a few months after that so confirmation within 7.5 seconds.
So what? You haven't cited a successful lawsuit against Google on that issue, or even a plausible legal theory. Have you discussed this with an actual attorney?

Just to note: CPU percentage isn't that useful these days. CPUs can throttle back their clock speed quite far, so you'll often get numbers that are meaningless that way.

I was always confused when I saw nostalgia screenshots of Oregon Trail, because they had fancier graphics than the version I remembered. Then I saw this version, which is even older than the one I played. So I searched and found this site with all the versions:

It looks like I played the 1980 version, which at least had a primitive type of graphical hunting.
The idea of a democratic Japan is itself interesting as for the most part it actually is a one party state. Outside of brief breaks, one party has held power in post war Japan.

I think part of the reason is due to the programmer: People writing in AOT languages such as C, C++ and Rust usually care more about performance and knows more about low level details that matter for performance. For example, they may try to optimize data layout to avoid cache misses, which JavaScript programmers generally won't (if they can). Also, compiling AOT can allow programmers to look at the optimization done by the compiler and determine if they need to further tweak the code to improve performance.
I’m in the process of converting a large knockout app to react and computed values are definitely what I miss most. They’re defined on the class (normal react practices prefer everything to be a plain object), they can reference other values/computeds internally just by calling this.computed (in react you have to manually chain the results through useMemo calls, and even with reselect there’s the added step of specifying all of your dependencies), they’re computed on demand and track their dependencies lazily (in react if you want a conditional useMemo you have to just early return null from the callback), and they’re conveniently useable in both model code and component code. I haven’t found a way to convert these that doesn’t feel like a complete regression in terms of code readability and ease of use.
Thinking though those kinds of issues is bread-and-butter software engineering, we would not work with anyone past new intern/new-grad level who couldn't handle that.
