Who said anything about that you should feel sorry for Jeff Bezos? The parent commentator simply described the circumstances regarding what Jeff Bezos can get. Who are you arguing against?
I'd go as far as to say it doesn't make sense except as an exceptional process, a battery upgrade or replacement due to manufacturing fault. Moving 300kg+ batteries around is just not very sensible.

Maybe it might be possible for heavy plant machinery where removing the battery and transporting it to the charger is easier than transporting the machine back to the charge point.
It's less about language and more about curiosity. Some people are comfortable in the expat bubble, or as uninvolved observers. Meeting people, being actively curious about them, it demands energy.

However there are some experiences that you can't buy. There's no entry ticket to an intimate celebration. You have to talk your way into it. You have to put in the work. You have to genuinely care about the people you interact with.

I know this. I've experienced it time and time again. I just left a place full of people I will miss dearly. However after a long day of riding, I can't be arsed to do it. Thank god for extroverts who drag us kicking and screaming into their universe.
I rather see his story as a reminder that scientific studies are often used to "prove" a claim, rather than openly looking for the outcome.
I totally agree, though I think it would be interesting to measure/study the amount of interference from an overlay needed to cause sickness. Imagine you have a simplified model which shows the countour of perspective lines and significant objects of a scene, how many of these lines can then be interrupted, overlayed or rerouted before you introduce too much noise in the visual perception and get sick. It would differ from person to person, but I'm pretty sure it's some kind of normal distribution. I don't think there's been many public studies trying to quantify this.
The bank, the government, the tax authorities. In this country, Norway, the last of those does indeed divulge it because anyone can access anyone else's tax return.

I also thought this kind of development was specific to only my country, but it's an almost global trend. Parents keep their kids closer (the last few decades compared with those before), under more supervision, are more suspicious of strangers, and so on, in general.

Moving into denser cities is also a global trend, and probably one that's correlated with it.
I’ll say there’s at least one extremely good version of this out there and I imagine it dramatically increases the restaurant’s sales: a service called OneDine that is in use by a small regional chain called Bartaco along the eastern US.

It’s so easy to keep ordering that I and everyone I eat with indeed just keeps ordering.

Every other implementation I’ve seen pretty much sucks though, to your point.
But is this actually done in practice?
If I have, say, 5 items or fewer I prefer the self checkout. There's usually no queue (as there are 8 or so machines) and scanning the items is only slightly less convenient than putting them on the belt at the human checkout anyway.
Yeah, i had horribles allergies as a kid, then it got better (i'm from a rural area, then moved to an even more rural area), so i guess there might be individual variance too. My allergies are sightly worse now that i live in a big coastal city (80k in winter-120k in summer), but i never found any evidence.
It also works best when the valuable thing is collected in nice big amounts like it is for car batteries. I imagine the lithium in coin cell batteries is not recycled at anywhere near the same rate!
Why just the browser? It's just the tip of the iceberg. The real deal breaker is that you can't sideload apps.
I know it's a good device for its target audience, but personally I'm not buying anything without a possibility to adjust it to my needs. Doesn't matter how good it is out of the box and maybe I won't even be needing to adjust anything, but I need an option to do it in case I change my mind later.
150Wh/kg is completely fine. A small vehicle with a 100kg battery can do 95% of what is needed for the average person (or as a second family car), it's just a matter of whether the trend of legislating sane vehicles out of existence continues.
Thank you for sharing. I love that way of thinking about the bigger picture.
Giving compliments to people on their style, demeanour/energy or some situation that’s interesting in the moment is how I talk to strangers.

That's fine if the script only runs on shells that behave the same way, but the script runs under bats, which runs on bash and appears to not change its xpg_echo shell option. This shell option controls echo's behaviour on bash and has a compile-time-configurable default; even scripts that are only meant to run on bash cannot assume either behaviour for echo, as different vendors use different defaults for the option.

How does Texas fare in pumped hydro? Seems it's a great place for Solar and Wind (both onshore where there's millions of acres of desert, and offshore in the Gulf), excess production can be used for pumped hydro.
> Batteries are such a major component of an electric car that there's a sort of Rocket Equation which applies: a sodium car with the same range as a lithium one would have to carry so much more battery that one would have to add substantially more just to move the extra weight around.

This is absolutely not clear. Active lithium is just ~60g per kWh in a battery, or ~1% of the mass of a state of the art LFP battery. Even though sodium weighs 3.5 times more for the same charge, if it's use would allow just a few percent reduction in total weigh, either by reduction of inactive cathode material or some other source, it could easily beat lithium batteries.
One could argue that centralized surveillance capitalism companies are unethical to start with. In the hands of a billionaire seeking to make them more profitable at all costs, they can become dangerous weapons.

The ethical thing for Twitter engineers to do is sit back and watch Twitter burn and potentially think about how to help someone like Jack build the open source decentralized alternative he has been musing about.
Agreed it would be strange, more wondering about how “making a list of richest people based on stocks is disingenuous because they will never be able to get that valuation if they sold it on the market”
Apple hosts the apps binaries and provides the services for reviews and payments.

If they don’t like it they can focus on Android, and if iPhone users don’t like apple’s policies they can switch to android or pine phones as well.
But why would I want wireless access to a network that you can join by just pointing something at it? That specifically sounds like a wireless network to avoid.

And how is a QR code the best for sharing links in a presentation? Why would people want to look at what you linked during your presentation? And if it's afterwards they would need access to your presentation anyway, no? At that point a regular URL would do too.
The one Grisham book that I have read felt like the author had not done enough research. It was set mostly in Europe and contained a lot of minor details that were wrong.
Yes, I did consider adding a parenthetical disclaimer regarding this year's heatwave. In any case, I would say that the fact that as you say many people in the UK wished they had air conditioning makes in the exception that proves the rule.

Those temperatures that the UK suffered are within the range reached in areas of Spain during many summers, and yet they don't make people desperate for air conditioning as the Brits became. That's due to the factors I mentioned previously: the architecture is better suited for heat, people are better experienced at handling it, and cultural and social features have evolved for dealing with it (public & private swimming pools, open air terraces, more evening and night life, escaping the city in August, etc.). I do insist though, I'm not trying to say Spaniards don't want or enjoy air conditioning, they just aren't desperate for it.
?

If you don't want it don't buy the car? I fail to see the issue.
That costs money, and some restaurants already struggle with higher costs and fewer customers.

When you ask you accountant to do your accounts so you don't get hugely screwed by the tax man then you expect/hope that they will do their best work in your interest.

When you go to the dentist and need a broken tooth fixed you hope the dentist will take an extra 15 minutes if it means your fixed tooth will look as straight and nice as possible, even if they could have fixed the core issue in a much faster way and leave you with an aesthetically unpleasant looking tooth.

When you send your children to school you hope that teachers would sacrifice time from their own lunch break if your kid has one more question just before the break so they don't fail the next exam.

If you live in America you probably hope that the person who guards the gate to your child's school would wait an extra 20 minutes if the new guard is slightly late so no crazy gunman could just walk in unchallenged and gun down your child.

When your parents end up frail and end up requiring social care you'd hope that the people looking after them would not just do the "bare minimum and steal as much time as possible for their own benefit" and rather take pride and care when looking after them.

All those people also hope that if you work on a product that serves a public interest that you will do your utmost best to return the favour so everyone can live in a nice society.
They will soon, but even if they couldn’t you could notify via SMS or email, or you know, follow apple’s rules.

If there's 1000 different towns, you would hear about a 1 in 100 year event about once a month.
If you can find someone willing to do all the hard work while you sit and ideate, sure that would be a lovely deal. There's somewhat of a stigma in the startup world against idea people though, precisely because they think that being creative "should be" enough to succeed. It usually isn't and to be "very" successful you need both the 80 hour weeks AND ample creativity. To be merely averagely successful you can get away with either hard work OR creativity, but TBH given your deprecatory remarks about 9-5 jobs it doesn't sound you are as Grishammy (yet) as your initial post suggests. :)
The 'soft, spongy' type system is nice to see. That kind of strong dynamism is a good choice for the application: it will do the wrong thing sometimes, but will throw fewer show-stopping errors, which are really disheartening for casuals.

I do regard casting not-numbers to 0 as a flaw. I've had plenty of bugs where I wished `nil` would automatically cast to to `""` in string position, or the empty list/dict: but I have never, once, wanted a missing number to cast to 0.

The number zero doesn't have the "semantics of emptiness" in programming. It shouldn't be treated as false, either, unless we're dealing with a "raw" language, in which case, one should have to at least cast to boolean to get the truthiness of anything.

Personally, I would promote this to an error, because the other option, 'NaN', is itself a source of confusion. But at least NaN-poisoning the calculation will eventually inform the user that "htree" isn't a number.
I don’t think that he spread such a plain opinion. I think he rather tried to add balance to a one sided discussion.
Flashing back to the way Sony handled the PS3 OtherOS exploits, I think its likely if they can't fix an issue with the PS2 emulation, they'll remove/block the feature. I won't be surprised if the ability to emulate PS2 games is removed citing 'security concerns'.
> America is weird because you can actually make a lot of money waiting tables.

Most do not.
It seems to me that the last decade or so provides ample evidence that not allowing everyone to say everything they want is almost certainly anti-correlated with substantial and meaningful debate.
Milk allergies and intolerance are often genetic.

By the way, the two worst offenders i ever met when talking about allergies were around the same age (they should be in their 60s now) and both are Distilben babies. And they were scrawny, but it wasn't by choice, they just couldn't eat most fats. Nothing to do with nurture in their case.
To be honest tapping my order on my phone seems much better than through a waiter or even something like a per table Alexa.

I really dislike how often communication gets cut off because multiple participants are trying to get the attention of a waiter or the topic is uncomfortable to talk about with an unknown person over your shoulder.
My experience with some restaurants is that they don't.

The QR menu is just a PDF of the printed menu.
How do you do the increments smartly
Good. It'll reduce the e-waste when Sony abandons these consoles.
Of Course Instant Groceries Don’t Work
These are interesting reactions from the tech-savvy folks who are always wanting to “change the world.”

Well, you succeeded. Get over it.

QR code menus dominate here where I live in the US Midwest. Here’s the thing - they only replace the physical menu. Wait staff still takes your order, gets refills, etc. just as when we had physical menus. When it comes time to pay many restaurants now bring a device to your table so you can pay. The wait staff no longer disappears with your credit card. Nice.

The nice thing about this system is it gets rid of the germ-laden physical menu, eliminates the ability for wait staff to copy your credit card, yet retains the rest of the traditional restaurant experience. No app required.

Y’all might want to take a look at how we’re doing things here.

As for anyone looking to opening a restaurant, if I have to install an app to dine at your restaurant then I’m walking out. That’s definitely not the experience I’m looking for!
Squashing is an essential tool for everyday git use. Squashing pull requests wholesale at merge time as the default merging strategy? It only hurts. It's a clear case of using the wrong tool only because you haven't learned a better one yet. Maybe it is "quite an absolute statement" - but I have never seen a valid justification for its use.

> I think it's a straw man to say "we couldn't eliminate all API calls, so fat events are useless"

Well, yes it is a straw man, because I never said that.

> At a glance, no. But it's not imponderable, assuming a limited number of in-house consumers. The absolute statement about it isn't accurate.

That’s a pretty huge assumption. Especially when one of the advantages of pub/sub is supposed to be decoupling.

Anyway, we clearly have had different experiences, and there is no silver bullet.
I think the 50A is a bigger issue than the 600W. Consider that the latest spec for usb-c allows up to 240W in a much smaller cable, but does so at 48V, meaning that the current is only 5A.
ClojureScript Reimagined
Slava wrote a postmortem five years ago - I'm curious if he looks back at it and feels any different.

I was an early RethinkDB user - we probably had one of the largest RethinkDB clusters in production by 2013 at an ad network.

I've gotten to know some early folks at MongoDB pretty well over the last year and RethinkDB has come up a few times. I think the answer comes down to a pretty boring one: MongoDB just got there a bit faster, raised a large sum of money, advanced their product greatly with the purchase of WiredTiger[0] and marketed the hell out of the space. The differentiation point for another document database in 2013-2016 was really limited.

The product they built with such a modest amount of funding was nothing short of amazing. I'll always have a special place in my heart for RethinkDB

If so many of the menus weren’t PDFs, I think the overall idea wouldn’t get such a bad rap. But yeah around half of all restaurants still do it in my experience.

It’s remarkable how particular non-IT industries attract personalities that are more or less technically averse than others. Arts and media, retail, building contractors: generally quite competent. Lawyers, medical: usually pretty bad.

Restauranteurs: the most technically inept grandparent you’ve ever encountered, the one who insists that if they ever touch a mouse it will catch on fire, and then somehow proves it
100% agree. I know I can't absorb this all now, but I can take what looks important and digest and integrate it over time.
It's weirdly hard to compliment people, at least as a man.

If you haven't warmed them up a bit first, it never feels right to compliment what they wear.

On the other hand, people love hearing that they have a nice playlist or run a cool place. It's something we put a lot of us into, so being complimented about it always hits hard.

Compliments are an acquired skill, but one that's so satisfying to use.

I don't know what motivate you to keep repeating this narrative, Clang currently have good support of C++23 while MSVC have none[1], if your emphasis is on the standard library side, Clang is the only one that is compatible to all three major implementations and do use libstdc++ and MS STL on their respective "main" platforms.

Also, why isn't Microsoft in the "profit from Clang" list? Is Clang-CL not shipped in Visual Studio Installer? Did they find a way to compile Edge with VC++?

The title seems like clickbait from the article.

It’s a partial exploit of the PS2 emulator inside a PS4 game that may not be patchable without removing those titles, that can lead to partial exploitation of the PS4 emulation to run other PS4 games. It does not exploit the PS5 hypervisor, so at its best allows running homebrew inside the PS4 emulator unless someone has another exploit that would lead to arbitrary execution on the PS5 - but if that was the case then this would likely be moot anyway.
I use Firefox. However I can't help but chuckle at how they introduced it. Some people at Mozilla live on a different planet.

Can't say about interesting but extremely black-white approach to the world, third world countries like India taking sides would mean million dying indirectly from poverty.

I worked at Facebook and remember what it was like to first face the total complexity of the system.

It’s really hard for me to imagine myself working at a company that deals almost exclusively with machine-generated data (as Tesla does) and being assigned to judge a social platform’s engineering qualify in one day. Cars and spaceships on a closed network are fundamentally “clean” compared to having hundreds of millions of people who produce dirty and often adversarial data.

But I guess the point of this exercise isn’t really to judge code quality, but to drive fear at Twitter.

Sure, but in a thin events model someone would "own" the events since otherwise the subscriber wouldn't know where to query the actual data. What would you even do with an event saying a customer changes address if querying that address then produces the old one.
