> "pedo guy"

And after the dust settled, it was just a couple of oddball blokes exchanging insults like children. The diver who started the fight, got greedy and wanted $190 million in damages over the pedo comment. Jury deliberated for less than an hour, and he got nothing.

In the end, the Thai Navy got a free mini sub they said could be used in future rescues. I don't see the Twitter incident with the diver as any final verdict about Musk in general, other than he can get emotional and doesn't hide behind corporate speak. The Diver-guy's initial attack really was the first foolish action in that whole saga.
I enjoyed that parody, but it kind of misses the most parody-able bit of all of the libertarian polycentric law research project; the general assumption that these systems are superior for not involving a state (not explicit here, but certainly true of David Friedman and Van Notten in general)

"Examples throughout history prove the state is not only inherently evil, but also unnecessary to provide satisfactory legal resolutions. For example, in U̵t̵o̵p̵i̵a̵ Somaliland satisfactory resolutions are ensured by independent judges free to make up their own legal principles, murder is deterred by having suspected murderers' family members executed (if they're too poor to pay the fine), clans claim the right to extract larger fines for the same offence if committed by outsiders and judgements may either be accepted or enforced by vendetta"

This isn’t my field so trying to speak with any authority isn’t possible but amongst my close colleagues we feel that pervasive labelling and the need to name every phase ends up creating in some people ‘tethers’ around which a person’s entire psychological makeup revolves. It’s good to forget sometimes.
Ie person goes through bad breakup. Would meet clinical (DSM-V) depression definition. After a year goes and sees a therapist and gets on antidepressants. Begins to feel good. Stays with therapy. The rest of their life is now a pivot point around that breakup. They’re labelled as depressed. Other stuff comes up.
In some worlds, maybe that’s necessary. In others, maybe they come good, make lifestyle changes, find happiness again, and don’t have the label or the antidepressants for life.
could you point out this UIs?
Hitler's order for the German people to basically suicide didn't go through because it wouldn't have hindered the Allies at all, and everything would have sucked even more afterwards. The Germans were already concerned that the Allies would completely dismantle German civilization, and the latter were actually considering doing that for a time. Why help them with that?

After a nuclear strike, most population centers would be glassed and something like 70% or more of the urban population would be dead. As a survivor of the attacked nation, I would feel more than entitled to strike back. Maybe not at the entire world though.

Anyways, there would be no long, agonizing consideration whether to strike back or not, just semi-automated protocols to confirm and trigger a counterstrike. And dead hand protocols in case central control was eliminated.

Using nukes tactically in tank warfare would have eventually escalated to their strategic use. It was just a question of time since frontlines don't just freeze in conveniently unpopulated territory, but will eventually reach population centres.

Edit: Of course it is not possible to prove that MAD "works". In the case of an escalation, mutual destruction would prove that it didn't work. And the current "peace" can be plausibly argued to have come about anyways. But that's not really the point of MAD. In WW2, nukes were use to force an entrenched enemy nation to surrender. This use of nuclear weapons was indeed obsolete once all potential targets had their own nukes and could strike back if somebody tries to Hiroshima them.
What's the source of this claim, especially the "still" part. I could never find newest data which would confirm it easily.
> I actually wish more pepole would use the email patch review process. At least there, reviewing individual commits is the default and the relation among multiple commits is preserved. I'm not sure how that's accomplished in Gerrit.

Gerrit adds a changeset-id (changeset = patch) to each commit message via local hooks -- this allows for tracking patches even when rewriting. (Ofc, if you remove/rewrite the changeset-id the connection gets broken, but it's pretty rare that that happens.)

Other than that it basically functions exactly like a more user-friendly patches-as-email.

> gas or coal fuel ... steam turbines are how heat is turned into motion to make electricity

It has indeed been a pretty rare case for web apps, but it's a not completely insignificant niche for desktop and mobile apps.

the centralized plants combine heat and electricity production. instead of a cooling tower or a cooling river they heat a city. thus whichever primary energy medium they use, the are (much) more efficient.
You are underestimating the life time expectancy of EV Batteries and the availability of charging stations. A holiday trip over in the northern countries in Europe (Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway) of around 3500 kilometers is very, very doable. There are charging stations everywhere. Even at remote mountain stations. Granted these countries are at the forefront of the EV car transition. Electrifying transportation is possible. Just as we were able to build a massive oil-infrastructure, we will and are able to build the necessary electric and battery infrastructure. Even in remote areas. You build charging stations with wind and/or solar power and a battery. That's it. It doesn't even need to be connected to the grid. They are already being build in Africa like this (and also provide power to local villages). They cost money to build of course, but the business model is there.

The ‘why’ of all of your code at the macro level should be clear from the acceptance tests (which hopefully document the motivating use cases and aren’t just barren series of steps with enigmatic names). At the micro level it should be done with naming (it’s really good to have the strategy pattern here because you can explicitly capture policies as named things, and occasionally keep old ones around as a contrast) and comments or doc strings.

I don’t know why the industry has settled on the idea that we only talk about ‘why’ at diff time in external tools. Even if the tools and languages today aren’t ideal, I think it’s a worthwhile thought experiment to constantly ask yourself, how can we better capture this information and serve this workflow in one place?

For example, most codebases put everything in a series of functional siloes based on the architectural layering of the app. What would it take for a framework to make it easy to write code built around vertical _features_, all the code for each of which is co-located (including tests and documentation), and which integrate into the app via various hooks. There are obviously a million ways to poke holes in this idea but I think we’ve learned the lesson in the industry a thousand times over that functional siloes are bad from a team structure and work scheduling point of view. Perhaps that ought to also apply all the way down to the program text.

Ultimately I’m more intrigued than religious here, but I will maintain that it’s at least a code smell when someone has to care too much about commit messages.
Get everything in writing. If someone wants an in-person meeting with no notes taken send an e-mail to them afterwards confirming what was said in the meeting. That way you have a paper trail of what was said/known and when.

> Armchair analysis without the actual licenses and some legal knowledge aren't all that helpful.

I didn't claim that ARM lacked a case. My point was that acquiring another company's license is not in and of itself a "loophole", a word I find to be heavily abused. As you mentioned, the language of the particular licenses will dictate the outcome of this case. But as ARM has not as yet made those terms clear to the public, the most one can do is look at past behaviors and rule out certain arguments. My evaluation may change as more information becomes available.

And given the circumstances, ARMChair analysis is entirely appropriate.
Dealing with the irrationality of people will certainly be a an issue in EV adoption. People want things they will never use, like 5 seats in a car they know is a second car which will be used 99% of the time with one or two occupants. 400 mile range on a car which rarely travels 40 miles etc.

If we could trim peoples requirements to a reasonable worst case rather than a "what if" we could save a huge amount of energy and environment impact.
I don't know about Norway, but here in Sweden you'd have one app per task, but since they integrate with each other it really isn't a problem. For example, I have an app for my region's public transportation and when I'm buying a ticket it uses the Swish (peer-to-peer payment system everyone uses) app for payment, which in turn may use BankID (national identification service) for identity verification, which uses my phone's biometrics. It sounds like a lot, but since every part is well integrated the full flow is just: tap ticket, tap buy button, fingerprint/face id, done.

Git squash into main works well for my team. Lots a commits, often undoing then redoing things really doesnt add anything for me. In fact I find it harder to understand lots of small commits because the overall goal / change change is so fragmented. Also it's it's easier to revert a single squash.
Well, thanks for sharing.

For someone inhibited by shyness, social anxiety, fear of rejection, or poor conversational skills a few sessions with a therapist, coach, or even Toastmasters can help. I didn't mean years of psychotherapy or medications. I went through CBT for about a year to learn to deal with obsessive-compulsive disorder. You don't necessarily "set some goals and go in each week to talk about them." You learn to recognize the triggers and maladaptive behaviors and then control your reactions. That can work for shyness and social anxiety as well as for OCD, phobias, and anger problems. Learning that you can control and change behaviors may seem obvious, but I think many people go through life calling themselves shy, introverted, unsocial without considering they can change those behaviors.
This is a inaccurate in my opinion. Obviously all developers should be writing code but in my experience there's usually about half new feature work and half maintenance. A lot of the maintenance is of projects written by people no longer at the company. I guess you're advocating for a policy of complete silo-ing where devs only ever work on what they wrote in the first place and no one can jump in and help other teams under any circumstance, but at least the companies I've worked at have not advocated for that policy

> if I need to help a distant relative, go on holiday, or whatever, with petroleum I can achieve my simple objective.

Yeah, maybe not right now, but EVs are at 1% roughly in the US, so obviously the charging network is going to be a lot better. In fact, all you need is a fixed charging station (no fuel deliveries) since everyone is already connected to the grid, so that would not be a problem unless you plan on taking 400+ miles trips in uninhabited regions.

> time to waste charging up

Today you get roughly 200 miles from a 20 min charge with tesla supercharger, seems like a non-issue if stations are ubiquitous. The government should imo force tesla to standardize connectors and high power charging (this is critical infrastructure, stop playing walled garden). Anyway, that's a smaller kink to iron out.

> The loss of battery, the expense of replacement (it costs the same as the car)

New tech, we're already seeing heavy YoY price reductions. Plus lots of the perceptions of price comes from tesla which isn't a cheap-tier car. Not disagreeing fully, time will tell what the lifecycle costs will end up for a Prius-like EV.

> I honestly see electric cars as a non-starter.

Shit, I have my criticisms too, but non-starter? I mean, I get it that today it doesn't make sense for everyone, but clearly there's a lot of progress in the right direction, on all relevant axes.

Because those were simpler operating systems and there were tight memory limitations. The industry can still do it if needed.

For an iPhone 12 (which shipped with iOS 14) just the 2 framebuffers for a double buffered display will take up the 15 MiB. Operating systems that are "significantly less than" 15 MiB would not be suitable to run a modern personal computing device.
Honestly the pricing was selected kind of on a whim, I actually didn't think anyone would use the project. Will probably update the pricing.

I'm not sure how much information could be extracted from the binary, will need to do some more research. Maybe we could read the strings in the static part of the binary and extract some information.

`ffmpeg -i` prints out the configuration FFmpeg was built with, this mostly will let us know which encoder/decoders/container formats you can use. Will add a feature to parse and interpret that output.

I added an ffmpeg command string parser that converts the command stirng into graph nodes, but I temporarily disabled it to fix an infinite loop bug in my parsing code.
