From https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/ktm/890-adventur... for the current model, which has the same upgrades thing but doesn't have the demo mode (that's the new thing). USD pretty much equals GBP currently.

Considering the R costs a penny shy of £12,000 it is a shame that KTM have pared back on its standard equipment. If you want cruise control (its new buttons are standard fitment) that will be an extra £225.61, the up/down quickshifter is a further £361.51, MSR (engine braking control) £135.01 and adding ‘Rally’ mode will be £180.34.

Or you can buy the ‘Tech Pack’ for £769.30 which has them all for a discounted price. Heated grips are £225.66 extra and while the dash has connectivity, you need to pay £7.99 for the KTM MyRide Navigation app to add a basic ‘turn-by-turn’ navigation system.

They do note that it is still reasonable value compared to other bikes in the class even with the options added, as competitors either don't have these options at all or they are only available on higher spec models.
>A bike throttle connected to a carburetor is beautifully elegant.

it's also inefficient and wasteful.

we've gone through this revolution in cars already; the benefits don't need to be constantly stated every time -- Reduced weight, reduced mechanical wear, greater efficiencies across the board. Usually cheaper to produce and easier to partially automate production.

Yes -- things are more complicated and sometimes difficult or impossible for end users to modify or repair -- the fact of the matter is that there are less and less people interested in self repair as time goes on, so the manufacturers cater to that crowd less and cater to the higher paying crowds more.

The reality is that very few people have the knowledge for carburetor self repair -- that also happens to be true for firmware debugging and ecm modification. The specialties are just shifting.
It's really not at all.

Most of those will make you sick without special preparation, so pointing at variation in taste across cultures that have (sometimes by necessity) found ways to safely eat those things isn't contradicting the idea that our sense of disgust is an evolved trait to keep us away from things that are likely to lead to disease.
Front end development is particularly prone to the hype cycle. Other parts of the stack are a little more stable in their tooling. I personally believe this is because the front end ecosystem is comprised of more self taught and boot camp people. They’re super excited to do development and live on hype, whereas other areas are still more likely to be classically trained computer scientists and engineers that are less hype prone.
This is of course a super over generalization and you can find tons of exceptions but if you look at the industry overall this is why I see it happening.

Pirates could teach us a thing or two about fair pay (2020)
I am not an anarchist, I know that nature abhors a vacuum. The inescapable nature of government is no reason to blind yourself to the risk posed by government. The dangerous nature of governments is the reason we're supposed to have power distributed among many, not concentrated to a few, with a complex system of checks and balances. But these hard-earned protections are being eroded. Federal judges rubberstamp every fishing expedition search warrant put before them, a handful of corporations concentrate the power to control public discourse, and common fools cheer the premise of the "Department of Homeland Security" (the very name of this organization is some sort of Orwellian joke) pursuing common bullies.

Anyway, to loop this discussion back around to my point:

> Terrorism is a real threat.

It isn't. The threat of terrorism is massively exaggerated by the government, for the purpose of justifying the government acquiring even more power. You are many times more likely to be killed by the police than by terrorists. Government and the media want you to fear terrorism because that fear lets them control you.
Logic isn't driving these new governmental impositions on people's rights.
If you fail to validate with the network consensus in PoS you quite literally burn your money. That's sort of the whole point.

an approach, but most things we consider racism from the 1960s and before had an economic rationale or a social rationale, many of the people who normalized it at the time also didn't feel actual disdain in their hearts and yet we now call many of those things racist and have modified

They can be either. This is expressly supported, e.g. by the libvirt tooling ecosystem.
> I think the reason contracts aren't readable to laypeople is because laypeople aren't the intended audience.

This doesn't make sense. The parties to the contract are presumably laypeople, and they have to understand it before they agree to it and sign it since one of the legal requirements for a valid contract is a meeting of the minds, meaning a common understanding between the parties of what each of them is agreeing to.
I've been a CTO at companies in various bits of the Anglosphere, and signed contracts in all of the bits (and some other places).

I'm also married to an Anglosphere lawyer (which gives me lots more exposure than I might have guessed to the idiosyncrasies of the profession).

In my experience, I very much agree with the headline (and abstract) here, but would emphasise that the US is the worst for archaic language, creating a worse barrier to entry. Most other countries in the Anglosphere have been through a "plain english" language push in both contract & legislation, while the US has stuck to "this language is proven through precedent" more stubbornly than anywhere else. This seems to be particularly prevalent in IP law, although that might be my tech bias showing.

I would very much argue against those (even in this thread), that say that the lay-person isn't the intended audience for lots of contracts, particularly for T&Cs where they are often written by a contracts lawyer, for a contracts lawyer or judge, but should ABSOLUTELY be written for the lay-person to understand.

Anyway, I think the legal profession can & should do better.
What else would one expect them to say? "History has shown that open source wins, and we've had a good run and it would come as no surprise were a new low-power architecture end up eating our lunch." ?

Yeah. Law is weird and gets weirder when you scrutinize it as far as it can be scrutinized, which often happens in court.

Not contract law, but I've been in two years of FOIA litigation to resolve a legal interpretation of "would" vs "could", and how that applies to a comma-separated list of categories. It's beyond maddening how long legal interpretation issues can go on for.

It sucks, but sometimes the verbosity is needed to avoid these sorts of years-long fights.
Therefore...the people mucking about with production should not be called developers! Problem solved, next?
I haven't flagged either that post or this one, but I understand why people do. Both present useless anecdotes that tell us nothing about whether or not a systemic problem exists.
You're saying that "center-embedded clauses... passive voice structures, and non-standard capitalization" are actually of benefit to the clients?

Yeah. It sounds like they’ve misunderstood the worst case scenario presented in the reports as a single prediction of fact.

Sigh. It is extremely discouraging that people continue to misunderstand even basic concepts around climate change.
I was pretty much the opposite. Going back to Day Timers, I basically don't do systems. But I found quite a few little insights. Break big tasks into actionable steps, if you're sure something will really just take 5 minutes don't put it on a list do it, don't fill up your calendar with todos that mostly won't be completed, etc.
WTF dude. Stop digging.

> It's more likely the reading has stopped at "From: Muhammad Abdullah"

That's called racism.

It's not thought crime. Employment opportunities are being denied. There are specific laws against this.

I hope you never end up being a hiring manager. You are a huge liability to any organization.

You can just start taking notes, like right now. The meta-organization just pops out eventually once you grasp the subject well enough. People making it a biz are essentially cargo culting.

One of those things that are not rocket science, yet is presented as such.

That's not a "good example of unconscious bias". Unless there's something else going on here (one or both of the names used in the experiment had some sort of reputation in the community already, or some other aspects of the CV were changed in the experiment), this is an absolutely stunning result and evidence of very conscious bigotry. This is a Black person applying for a job in 1920s Atlanta kind of result. In 2022 academia!
Two applications that come to mind that use visual scripting are:

The MagiC stuff was unfortunately just opened sourced 15 or more years too late.

And also, AFAIK, it's mostly written in assembler.

It would be a gargantuan task to turn it into something that other people could maintain and contribute to, I suspect. Let alone get it running nicely on ColdFire etc. etc.
Mandating that kids go to the bathroom that doesn’t match their gender presentation will cause some awkward situations for sure, but ultimately it may just lead to kids treating the concept of gendered bathrooms as a joke.
I don't think that's a very large market as of yet. But I could be wrong. Hedge funds and other corporate entities are buying up single family homes now. That seems more likely to be pushing more of the trend.
>Human memory doesn't work like that.

Probably right, but that's why we just need to be equiped with an M.2 port so we can upgrade our memory. Or maybe a bit of "better living through chemistry" will come up with a better swapping routine for memory
I definitely prefer physical books for technical stuff since it’s easier to look back at stuff I’d read before. On the other hand, I never buy books about programming languages, mostly about algorithmic stuff. If I am trying to learn a programming language I usually find some electronic material just so I can copy-paste code examples.

For sufficiently large N, all computation that isn't O(1) takes infinite time.

Complexity analysis goes out to infinity, but the way we use it as a tool is to inform us about what happens with our practical, finite inputs.

We know that something requires a non-polynomial number of steps, it quickly becomes untractable for small inputs. (So if we code that in a practical program, we need some justification that either the inputs won't occur, or we actively guard against them.)

Whether the entire universe is actually finite is not known, and not really relevant because that subset of it which is available to us as resources is vastly tiny.

The universe is vast, and vastly parallel: things are happening all over it at once, with more objects than have ever been crammed into any of our computing machines.

For a quick sanity check, $12 is the cost of most 4K, slightly older, full length, feature films.
I was thinking specifically of written papers. Math homework and exams were usually hand written and I usually printed so people could actually read it.
There are four major structural issues I can think up off the top of my head (this is unfair — we're discussing my wife's job):

1. Modern gerrymandering is probably the Achilles heel that'll bring the US to its knees.

2. Judicial capture is the standard playbook for autocratic take-overs of democracies — there needs to be a reaffirmation process & it needs to be a "yes - no > 1/2*senators".

3. The electoral college is particularly vulnerable to bad actors at the state level, and the opportunity cost to capture the college is higher than the capture cost.

4. The Senate, itself, was a known-to-be-bad compromise to build a confederation, rather than a formal union into a single, sovereign State.

I'm not entirely convinced of the last one: I kinda like the idea if 50 separate competing democracies all trying to come up with great ways to be a state, with a fairly low barrier-to-migrate.
Might be worth finding out whether you're wasting your time. As measured on a Kill-a-Watt, my 2013 LG TV consumes 0.0 watts when on standby.
What you're describing is more applicable to a motion filed in court (one party is in battle with the other and has no reason to be friendly to the other party at all).

In the case of contracts, you're partially right, but it's more nuanced. The weird thing about contracts is that at the time they are signed, two parties need to agree with each other. If you're hiring a software vendor and I am your lawyer, I need to try to achieve two things at once: protect the company legally, but also sign the deal so that you can use the vendor. So I'm inclined to be somewhat friendly with the other side and to forego "air tight" legal defense of my side so that we can reach agreement.

Unfortunately this process has a side externality for clarity: we negotiate little parts of a template and the way we do so probably doesn't jive all that well with the template language.
I still like paper books for hard tech.

If I'm glancing or lightly learning, I use the Apple Books app on my iPad. Kindle is for novels only -- it doesn't handle tech book layouts well.

Right now, I'm reading a paper Go book, but a Docker ebook.

The rest is just a long form explanation of why they like physical books.
It was a big eye opener for me when I realised that the Chromecast is always warm, even when the TV is off and it's not been in use for days. The extension switch is now always off, but I wonder how much this device cost me over the past years.

Yes. OLEDs run a short matrix refresh cycle every few working hours and a long one every hundred or so after you put them to standby; you probably won’t break anything, but the TV quality will degrade quicker. (Not sure about the not breaking part, though ;) I leave mine powered on.)

What works for me is not having my listening (and recollection) capacity being interrupted by taking notes.
Actually, clarification: what I'm saying applies to contracts between two sophisticated parties that are negotiating.

If I'm Facebook and you're a user, there is no negotiation. So I try to make it as air tight as (legally) possible.
I also put everything except my fridge, freezer, and router on switchable extension cords. Why waste even a single watt-hour on things I don't use?

I am also nostalgic for Pine, but what I think I really miss is the email from 1998, text only messages from my friends and professors.
Agreed. I maintain a paper zettlekasten and have for about six months, but still growing strong. The key factor in deciding on paper is that the hard parts are 1. Writing at all, then 2. What to write. Software doesn't solve either of those problems
Exactly my point.

>That's called racism.

It's called national origin discrimination (If I'm correct that is)

>You are a huge liability to any organization.

So you are one of those that confuse "something unfortunate happens" with "something should happen in this unfortunate way". Ok.
The strangler pattern of rewriting individual pieces is also what leads to 3-4 incompatible versions of Jquery. You could start with one key page and rewrite it in React or whatever your preference but if you never manage to kill one of the old dependencies you are just making even more of a tangled web.

I would try to identify how entangled some of the dependencies are and start my rewrite with the goal of getting rid of them. But yeah I agree that version control and testing is going to be key here as you any backsliding will probably result in the idea of future refactoring being viewed negatively.
One would hope so. The London Olympic security plan was essentially to delegate it all to the lowest bidder. Shockingly, the lowest bidders were incompetent fools and they had to replace them with a hastily assembled army team at the last minute.
It's a little suspect that this reddit post from 5 days ago is almost the same as the linked tweet, but the premise is kind of switched up.

23 hours ago from the linked Twitter: "So I did an experiment, I am looking for a postdoctoral position and decided to check to what extent racism in science could be. I took my CV and changed the name to a more western one. I'd send it out with my real name, then a few days later (or before) with the western name."

5 days ago on this linked Reddit: "So I did an experiment, I work in CS and decided to test what gender bias is. So I took my CV and changed the name to a female name. I'd send it out with my real name, then a few days later (or a few days before) with a female name."
The crazy thing is he says 54 people were willing to accept a fellowship from his Western name. How does that work, exactly? In his application he communicates that he also has a fellowship available that he could give to the people he is applying to? It doesn't make sense to me.
