I would agree, the connotations come from internal classifications from the reader, and the classifications just don't bear scrutiny in most cases.

A red apple is not inherently bad nor is a green apple inherently good. A person might enjoy one versus the other to eat, but if you just ask someone to identify attributes of an apple, the color likely won't prompt statements about the good/bad nature of the apple, and instead would decide the apple's use based on your needs. This can be done with just about any color association and at its core, people will include the context when considering the associations. Red machines are better because they're faster, after all, even if you're not making a WH40k joke.

I think the author of the article overstates the implicitness of the associations they make with red/green and propose that everyone has such strong associations. When I read a diff, the color doesn't matter, I just need to know what it indicates. I set my terminal colors and syntax highlight colors not to indicate some specific judgement on the colors, but because I want different things to stand out so when I am scanning.

Bright red stands out well in general, so it's useful for errors so I catch it when scrolling, which typically are what I'm interested in if I'm checking a log. Based on my primary interest, I pick the other colors that are complimentary to red or opposing to help quickly categorize. With diffs, I am interested in what got the axe typically, because first I want to see "what did we have before?"; it's very difficult to judge if what was added is an improvement without knowing the context of what was replaced, so for me, it makes sense to focus on what was originally there, then see what was changed. This is naturally _my_ association and interpretation, and frankly it could work with any scheme assuming the colors were different enough.
Boycotting one of the bigger suppliers.
Phased arrays are already in phones that have mm wave antennas ;) usually only 1 dimension though. But it's not inconceivable they will add one capable to reach a satellite. Obviously the number of elements and thus the gain will be lower than the one Ina starlink station. But with slower speeds you don't need as strong a signal.
A milan can cruise at 60km/h with some average fit guy.

Top tier cyclists in a pack do about 50km/h on the flatter stages on an upright with around 2x the power.
Heat pollution from power generation is a non-problem. We will run out of raw materials to build power plants out of long before this happens. This is what happens when people don't run the numbers.
Well, they need relay services to integrate with the local emergency services
Even without a physical connection, a "virtual trailer hitch" would be easier to implement (I imagine, hah) than a general autopilot.

The control loop would have to reference the next vehicle in the chain, and adjust the speed to maintain a constant distance from it, as well as keep the centerlines of the two vehicles aligned. For emergency braking and other surprise situations a broadcast system would be useful.
offline maps are your friend here
And their spam block software does not work with an eSim.

How many people have died in the US because they were in distress but did not have cell phone coverage and were in a position where they could send a transmission to a satellite (e.g. clear view of the sky, etc.)?
It's not going to be anywhere near as bad in the US because the US&Canada have plenty energy reserves. The situation in Europe is catastrophic. I expect there will be a major brain drain there the coming decade.
The bolds and caps makes my eyes bleed.

Even if it was the cure for cancer I couldn't read it. /h (for hyperbole)
It's funny how 30 years ago, probably 90% of my actual phone calls were with numbers that matched the first six digits of my own.

Now that number is 0%.
It's not a choice.. It's just people trying re-implement "native" behavior.
Doesn't work. Just use native components.

Firefox never felt native. Typography is different from my system settings, window color is different, mouse behavior different, scrolling behavior is different, spacebar to scroll jumps, zoom is weird.. actual size is 125%. So I always have to zoom out a few times to get to 100%, and it doesn't remember those settings.

The only reason I use firefox sometimes is because I can use different profiles as tabs in the same window. For those pesky apps without multi-account / account-member-user schema.

I used to love firefox 15+ years ago.. when I was still on windows, and IE was really bad, but switched to chrome the moment it came out.
I have passed on all my iPhones and I must have averaged like 8+ years for all of them. Really old phones get regulated to non critical things like a spare phone for travel or just a backup.
a question for nuclear experts : what does the unstable fusion state look like ? is there a catastrophic risk and now severe is it ?
That doesn’t count, that was a mistake /s
Which is why I did not say you should apply this notion generally. Nor that you should allow a 14 year old make a death wish.

There is such a thing as nuance in the world and we can use that to decide when a death wish could be executed. In fact, we already have some limited forms of such death wishes in the form of DNRs. That hasn't caused the extinction of humanity from 14yo fantasies and most people don't see it as some terrible slippery slope.

If I had such a directive on myself I could revoke it at 50, 60, 70, or 80 while I still have my faculties. That moots the "I'm a different person" argument.

But, I should point out how horrible dementia is. It's a disease with no cure that causes you to be a different person, one with partial memories of the world that is constantly upset and confused because nothing makes sense or lines up. Imagine constantly wandering out into the street trying to head back to your childhood home or trying to find a long dead spouse or childhood friend and wondering why you never see them anymore. Imagine constantly reliving the death of a spouse if someone can't redirect the questioning. Imagine waking up old and not remembering how you aged. Imagine not recognizing yourself in the mirror. Now imagine your child crying at your bedside because you don't remember them. (all stuff that happened to my grandmother).

Yup, if I get dementia I'd be a different person, one that is in constant pain and confusion and causes constant pain to the ones I loved the most. I'll choose in that scenario for the rest of my life to be put down (even though I know it's not something I could necessarily choose).
I don't understand how anything you said is an argument in support of iOS being a better appliance OS than its competitors.
The article also took a piece of it
My family has taken inspiration from Orthodox Jews. At sunset we take all our devices and put them in a cabinet, turned off. Nobody can even call us on the phone. We have a big fancy dinner with fancy silverware and invite people over. Nobody is allowed to have their devices turned on. Until sunset on Sunday we just hang out or do whatever we wanted to do anyway, just with zero screens.

We end up reading books, playing board games, and having a lot more conversations. We're much more likely to go to the park. We often don't know what time it is which is a nice feeling. We also take a lot of naps because we're staying up too late most of the week on our screens.

I've also found I'm super productive on Monday after our screen free time. We've been doing it for a couple months now and I really like it.
I'm sorry but it's the case.
Every morning while enjoying my breakfast cereal I read about what python broke today (95% whole grain).
Hardly. The amount of energy trapped by the atmosphere is vastly greater than the heat capacity we would wish to be able to produce, and the corollary - the amount of energy irradiated by the earth into space is vastly greater than amount of heat we wish to produce.
Also non-American, but I do spend a lot of time in the US and with American people. It seems very common for children to leave home after highschool, move really far away and basically go overnight from living with their parents to seeing them once or twice a year. As time moves on and they get busier, the children might not even see their folks every year. I think that pretty much by default, your life cycle in the US is to leave your house, start your own family, get a bigger place to raise your family, pay it off for a couple of decades, and once your own kids move out, go to Florida and hope your children will see you more than a couple of times before you die. Somber jokes aside, if you plan ahead you can live quite well in the US, even though there's no guarantee you will be in close contact with your family for more than 18 years. To me that's not a great tradeoff (also, medcial treatment costs a fortune) which is why I always go back to my family in my home country. Nothing is better than being with family.
And so did this comment
DC-X was the first rocket to land on its tail, in the nineties. In the 2000s Armadillo Aerospace, Masten and Unreasonable Rocket all changed what we thought was possible in rocketry.

Then came SpaceX hopper and finally reusable Falcon 9. Falcon flights are not as routine as Masten rockets yet, as some of Masten's rockets made over two hundred flights. Of course performance is in a different league also.

But the operations part is absolutely necessary to dramatically reduce the cost of access to space. It's probably the least sexy of all things. Designing the vehicle for operations. For example, in some cases trading away performance for more robustness. Designing the operations themselves, creating the automation and efficient processes, safety, personnel etc. Masten clearly did something quite right there.
"gazprom basically being used as an economic weapon of Russia right now"

Why would Russia need European money if the EU either steals them (they call it 'freezing') or doesn't exchange it for what Russia needs (advanced tech)?

And if Russia don't need European money, why do you expect Gazprom to keep selling gas to the Europe?
This is really funny coming from McKinsey which works kids into the ground billing thousands of hours to making PowerPoint presentations as well aligned as possible.
Correct. A more widely used term (in my experience) for this sort of thing is a "pace line", which isn't always as wide as a peloton due to lack of road closure.
Can confirm, bought it years ago, the only app that allows me to easily block full range of numbers. I'm in France and work just fine.
To me it appears to be yellow with a greenish tint. As if it begab as yellow, and they added just a drop of green.
"User accounts" in the security sense, maybe isn't the right abstraction.

Have you tried logging in with multiple accounts on a Nintendo Switch? You're sort of just logged into all of them at once; and when you launch a given app/game, it asks you which profile you want to launch it under.

To me, that'd be the perfect multi-user experience for iPad. Any user can unlock it with their own biometrics/credentials; once unlocked, that user can then act as any user that has a profile on the device.
Yes, one actively exploited CVE was patched in iOS 12, which is strange. But as your own link shows, that's the only thing that has been fixed in pre-15 versions since October, despite many many vulnerabilities patched since then in iOS 15.
Oh that’s true. We could be more aerodynamic AND safe.

I’m guessing this would be a different sport rather than cycling evolving.
Funny anecdote from an IRC chat I "overheard" today.

The chat was for a relatively new GNU command line tool. It was discussed whether it would be possible to detect changes to a file being edited through "outside" programs, before saving. The typical "the file you have opened was changed on disk. Overwrite/Reload/..." question.

It was suggested that they could use inotify for that. A GNU developer responded with "there's no inotify on OpenBSD". Then discussion went to "could we maybe use kqueue there?"

The response from said GNU developer? I quote, and this is not a joke:
"There are plenty of systems without kqueue. Like TOPS-10"

The other developer jokingly said that he didn't know of anyone still using TOPS-10, to which the GNU developer responded along the lines of "Well, I am intending to compile and run this on TOPS-10, so we should use a mechanism similar to what EMACS does to detect those changes, as that is portable to more systems and is equally safe, i.e. race-condition-free"

I'm not sure if the race conditions in the "EMACS way" are actually there or not (I didn't feel like reading the elisp code for saving files), the discussion quickly went to filesystem requirements, NFS and other remote filesystems, etc.

But the fact that they are considering porting to an OS that has been out of (active) use for more than 30 years over using more recent APIs on more modern OS's shows how far in the past they are stuck. And this is only a very recent example that I wanted to share, there are many more such examples if you know where to look (mailing lists etc.). Things like "we cannot change this as SunOS requires this-or-that" and "this will break on VMS" are still things they are thinking about... I mean I get it, backwards compatibility is cool and all, but some things can be taken a bit to the extreme...
True but that's already available in Europe too. Globalstar spot works in Europe just fine.

And it's not just for emergency either, also for find my.
In your equation above. The sun produces so much more ambient heat I imagine everything else is a rounding error. I highly doubt any number of fusion plants would affect global temperature.
> I was always curious if it was real

It is real! It's an extremely aerodynamic position.

> and why not everyone does it.

In races, it isn't a race legal position to use. In practice, it is a very unstable position and you can't race in it so there's not much point to taking the risk. UCI is notorious for being very strict about that sort of thing (even as so far as to ban sitting on the top tube or resting your forearms on the handlebars) and they change the rules regularly to get rid of anything they feel is too risky.
I think the truth is in the middle. Solar is becoming ridiculously cheap, but even if the panels were free there's still a lot of other costs to factor in.

As explained elsewhere, a mix of energy sources is necessary.

And your statement is devoid of context. Solar is already working well in North America (and elsewhere), and uptake will continue to increase. It won't be a panacea for the rest of the world, and solar+wind won't replace all other generation types.

The Twitter hero faction of the Python core "developers" (many of whom have not done much actual work for a decade) has always been pro-web and anti-C-extensions.

They have been peddling the dream of speeding up Python by neglecting the scientific ecosystem for a long time without having either the expertise or a clear plan how to achieve that.

All that while the primarily useful part of Python is its C extension capabilities. The web does not need Python, query/response applications are handled just fine and better by functional languages.

Tragedy of the unmanaged commons, in this case the commons is human attention. If Facebook doesnt grab it then Twitter will. The incentives of a for-profit capitalist society lead to this.

Apple should simply charge for notifications, and share the revenue w the user!
A couple of points:

- The types do not indicate the degree of tendency in each axis. That can vary within a type and isn't captured by the type code at all. The types just indicate the direction. There is some evidence that children tend to have more extreme preferences which balance out people mature.

- Have you seen Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow? The "fast" and "slow" thinking described there is very similar to what the MBTI calls "perception" (fast) and "judgement" (slow). And notably those categories do have strong evidence of an innate tendency which remains consistent over time (but only if you don't bias the participant by asking them to approach the task in certain way indicating that this tendency can be overridden by the appropriateness of certain thinking mode to the task at hand)
And I thought that paragliding or traveling by boat downriver are more efficient. I guess I was wrong.

Canadian I think, but their standards seem on par or higher than the US.
Can you name a single application that has 250k concurrent writes (per second I assume as you didn’t stipulate) using a consistent sql backend (that is no external caching/sharing layer)?

I don’t think your example is a good fit for SQLite as it’s not a good fit for any sql store that I know of.

No, I’m really not, that’s why I put the caveat about maybe not today, but big rivers have a way of starting as a small trickle.
Testosterone is a known causative factor for aggression and risk taking. Men have more testosterone than women.

I would have guessed that a person in a sailboat was more energy efficient.
You aren't including fuel costs; any guesses?
If you built a solar farm last year, build another today, and another one next year, the cost for those will be seen on a sharp downslope.

There would be no need ever to pay spot market price: you operate when you have power to operate. You could put up wind turbines too if you wanted to operate more regularly.

In any case you can't buy these things yet. All costs are necessarily referred to a time when they are available off the shelf.
Don't ignore the fact that uranium reserves would not last 100 years if we used it as our sole power source.
> This is an extremely small fraction of traffic

Public transit was made into a small fraction of traffic. [0] It absolutely doesn't have to be that way. If you live in a city you are likely going somewhere that a lot of other people are going to as well.

With proper urban planning a door to door car should only really make sense in a rural environment. And that is absolutely a needed mindshift to curb GHG emissions.

I made a deliberate choice of moving to a country and city with good governance and planning. I haven't owned a car in 5 years. When I do absolutely need a car I will just rent one for a weekend trip or for hauling big things. It still is a huge saving.

The only pro-car argument I can think of is the prepper aspect of having a getaway vehicle in the event of a natural disaster.

I think some of the pain has been Apple's fault. Requiring conda for some official packages means you always have two competing ecosystems on one machine - which is just asking for pain.
Yes, Season 1 is really uneven. For new viewers, if you have someone to pick out the important episodes, then you can skip the rest and come back later. (And you can always skip "TKO".)

Seasons 2 to through 4 are still some of my all-time favorite science fiction TV. The three-episode mini-arc of "Messages from Earth", "Point of No Return" and "Severed Dreams" (IIRC) is still incredibly intense.

The closest thing I can think of today is probably The Expanse. It has the same mix of human politics in the face of aliens we cannot comprehend. Of course, The Expanse has a higher budget and more consistent acting.

In a lot of ways, Babylon 5 is the first "streaming-style" show. There's a clear series arc, viewers are expected to know what happened in previous episodes, and there's plenty of foreshadowing for the attentive viewer. (The original online Babylon 5 fandom kept track of every tiny hint.) Buffy was also moving in that direction, and Star Trek quickly followed.
This site seems interesting, thanks. Never heard of it.
Chromium and therefore still encumbered by this poor Manifest v3 behaviour.
Myers-Briggs and Big 5 aren't the same thing.

Knowing my MB category was amusing but not useful.

Knowing my Big 5 percentiles - very useful. Understanding where I land on disagreeableness and openness to ideas made my life a lot easier (both at home and work). At least because I have a framework to understand personality differences when dealing with teammates and what frustrates me (like people being close-minded or indecisive, or both).

My current company doesn't do it, but I would support mixing and matching people with complementary strengths. Like match someone with high openness to ideas to explore various angles on a particular problem and someone with high conscientiousness to get the project across the finish line.
Brexit has got next to nothing to do with the current energy crisis in the UK: it's a worldwide problem, and even the CNN article you've cited claims it's not Brexit that's made it worse in the UK than elsewhere.

People might get bored of it too. I know those ultra addictive clicking games were part of my childhood. As an adult I have no interest.

Thank God because I see my parents wasting time. At least when I was a kid I had no money and was bored. They have money and education.
Cargo allows you to share a single package directory. Having a single site-packages and the ability to import a particular version (or latest by default) would solve this.
>Those houses will go up for sale, and that is how bubbles pop.

maybe. it depends on how much demand is left at higher rates. The prices are up and the rates are up. People and corporations will buy them and rent them out, and renters are at the mercy of the market. They pay or be homeless.

It's not necessarily sure that the bubble will pop if there are enough landlords or investment firms willing to buy the properties whose owners can't afford them. A lot of people refinanced at very low rates quite recently, so it may be years before some of these properties go through the 'crunch' of refinancing.
I was confused as well. I didn't think there were any outstanding controversies around Gen. Mitchell, but you never know...

While impressive, that is the easy part. Anyone can heat something up given enough energy put into the system. The hard part is producing energy on a net basis.
