Our local high school already has electric school busses! They look exactly like the traditional American school bus, but with a small green stripe, which was surprising, given how many passenger EVs look futuristic.

The school parking lot has solar panels over it, so I assume it charges at school.
What we're moving around on the blockchain, _fundamentally_ is liability. The blockchain is an accurate register of who's holding precisely which bag if something goes wrong. When money changes hands and the NFT moves, the risks move around - a new person is being protected, the new owner of the NFT.

There's a lot more to transacting property than title - condition of the place, planning permission, 50 other factors. All of that is being represented as claims, and liability if those claims are inaccurate.

Does that make it clearer?
> It's been 9 years since Modern CMake came out, and I'd estimate adoption at 50-50.

> The current CMake language is fine. Nothing amazing, but good enough.

I'd argue these two statements are in conflict.

I came to c/c++ after several other languages and ecosystems -- the c++ dependency/build ecosystem is by far the worst.

CMake does work. It's underlying capabilities are great, even. But "modern cmake" is sort of a joke syntactically. Generator expressions are indecipherable. Semicolon delimited arrays, no distinguishing between input/output variables... I personally would love for a different DSL frontend to CMake.

> I don't want to disparage the team's work--CMake is awesome software--but the way they see it is very different from the way typical developers see it.

I have to agree with this. The underlying core of cmake is actually pretty awesome. Modern cmake is an improvement in capability. The team deserves credit for that.
This is just terrific.

I learned how to do low-fidelity paper prototyping from Luke Hohmann at OOPSLA 1998 in Vancouver. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2017112.Oopsla_98

Just like this:

"Lo-fi Paper Prototype Example" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRlcZJpl0dw

I can't quickly find Luke's paper online. IIRC, this book is pretty terrific:

"Paper Prototyping: The Fast and Easy Way to Design and Refine User Interfaces" [2004] https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9781558608702/paper-proto...

Here's the thing. I have near religious devotion to lo-fi prototyping. I really thought it'd become the norm.

Back then, I envisioned UIs would be developed like:

All the requirements gathering and analysis. User profiles, use cases, creative writing, story boards.

Then convert story boards into paper prototypes.

Then validate paper prototypes with users. Usability testing where the devs pretend to be the computer.

Iterate.

Then convert paper prototypes into code mockups. More usability testing.

Iterate.

Then convert mockups into an app.

For this to work, be practical, the cost of change has to be dramatically reduced. To do that, there needs to be a workflow that connects paper to mockups to app.

In my future perfect world, TinyUX (Balsamiq, Figma, etc) must first ingest paper prototypes and generate code. Something declarative, like SwingUI. Just enough meat and bones to hand off to devs. Who can then flesh it out or reimplement it.
I really don't think the law is what pushed Apple to adopt USB-C. I think they actually wanted to use it back in 2012 when they introduced lightning, but USB-C wasn't ready for primetime, so they made their own.
Because of how they advertised and I don't know if anyone has actually won those argument.

Check paulg’s tweet history. A few weeks ago he lamented how fake things are in the US, pointing at things like Kraft singles.

I don’t have a Twitter account but almost went to sign up to reply “billionaires whose wealth is based on mathematical inference not possession of tens of billions of real dollars.”

I say let’s automate away book smart, street stupid easily deluded normal humans who end up optimizing for themselves while roleplaying something more egalitarian is afoot with their games.

Letting a minority monopolize agency is not a greater good as there are no greater goods. It’s typical political corruption.

Automate away politicians, VCs, C*O level; organizing life in line with religious traditions is not sacrosanct. Why is organizing life under the prior 60-70 years so special? Ooh right; cause that cohort is where all the wealth is captured. Silly me.

Definitely. And, the founder of Zama says there are new chips which will optimize these types of calculations and make them more mainstream.

For the record, no clue how true that assertion is, but seems like now that the calculations are possible, Moore's law will solve that problem one way or another.

FHE is going to make things interesting and it seems like it is only a matter of time before they are workable on existing blockchains.

Plus, these types of calculations are not susceptible to side-chain attacks, since no private keys are used in the calculations.
> Ken Sim (Vancouver's new mayor) had significantly improving permitting speeds and decisions as a key plank in his platform.

It's nice to say, but I heard a consistent response from the Vancouver subreddit every time this has been brought up that permitting speeds in Vancouver have been more down to how hard it is to hire/train/retain code inspectors, than down to how many red-tape policies they need to evaluate a plan against. Even with a permanent budget increase for hiring code inspectors, given the training time, you wouldn't expect to see the effects within Sim's tenure. So it's questionable what he's actually planning to do here.

(One thing I personally think could help is to get major property developers to peer-review one-anothers' work for its adherence to code; or even to require, as a condition for allowing such firms to do any development in the city at all, that said firms loan some of the talent that would normally be designing to code to instead sit on the other side of the table as code-inspection attachés — like a very domain-specialized form of jury duty. Most large development firms are already experts in local building codes, given that they have to design to them; so why not use that existing talent base?)

Obvious. Make this look like a more original feature. Redefine the concept on Apple's terms. Have people pay attention to the novelty of it being done automatically, rather than manually in a catalog with lyrics that look like they belong on a CRT screen.
I think you made my point for me, at least partially.

The real teeth in a union is the ability to strike. In joining a union, you signify that you're willing to strike if enough other people aren't getting what they want.

I'm happy with what I have. My team seems pretty happy, too.

If things were bad, I'd consider joining a union. But until they are bad, union dues are just wasted money, and the obligation to strike if enough others want to.
Amazing how a sitting president can have an opponent 3.75 years before the next cycle, unless you mean Pelosi and Schumer similar to how Obama had McConnell. Of course Trump had a lot of opposition within various levels of government but that’s also not a new phenomenon, just one he played up by constantly talking about it as a means to working through it. Arguably if he’d just shut up, he’d have given up his biggest political strength and more co-opted by the corporate deep state.

And then there is the massive PPP wealth transfer he oversaw, both to criminals (not necessarily his fault, just his responsibility) and via the US Treasury (definitely on him). But these things are also nothing new compared to other recent POTUSes except for the most powerful playing constant victim.
I have no idea how that matters to the argument I made. I'm very confused by your statement in the context of what I said.

>So your comment is rude. It's fine to move on and work in other languages, as I have, but to not be able to even show 80% of your portfolio because it was intentionally crippled by the company you rented the software from that you used to make it, isn't something you can move on from. It's been disastrous.

It's no different than what happened when the C64 when the way of the dodo

Or folks who built stuff for DOS, and never updated to Windows

Technology moves on

Languages and platforms get deprecated and/or die

And if "80% of your portfolio" is on a now-dead platform, I'd say it speaks more to you not wanting to do something new than that you happened to build a bunch of stuff on something now dead

I get that it sucks that stuff drops out of support/manufacture/etc

> Adjustable vocals: Users now have control over a song’s vocal levels. They can sing with the original artist vocals, take the lead, or mix it up on millions of songs in the Apple Music catalog.

I think this only requires pre-making two audio files per track, and simultaneously streaming these.

Real-time lyrics, Background vocals and Duet view are all nice features too, but the hardest part processing-wise is analysing how loud you sing into the microphone. It's just karaoke with a good UI.
They're not.

The cheapest energy is from a hydroelectric plant built generations ago.

Per Kernighan, debugging is 2X harder. If the AI jockeys don't understand what they're being given, man, it's going to be humorous watching them putting out fires. And how can statistically fit models exceed their training set w/o going random? How is AI going to string together equations to do physics or engineering? They're bloody squiggly symbols and letters.

>2) Many people believe that unions spend too much time protecting "low-performers," and that a union enacting barriers to protect employees from quick firing for performance will hurt the overall team/company.

This is not a "some people think" issue. This is a reality of running an organization like a union.

Literally every low barrier to entry organization from unions to political parties to organized religion to organized crime has to invest a significant amount of resources in giving a good chunk of its "dolts" a better deal than they could get anywhere else (even sometimes going to an extent that is not sustainable in order to advertise to other members how far the organization can/will go for you) because that ensures that those people will 100% go to bat for the organization. It is a necessary part of operations at scale.
I hate to break it to you, but your "economically illiterate people" might actually understand some fundamental social and political realities that you've not yet had the chance to reckon with. Not to mention the physical realities of water resources.

Your comparison to oil pipelines is nonsense. Where to start: privatization, a global commodity market, relative scarcity, massive extractive capex.... Sure, we built oil pipelines easily in the past. How difficult has it become? Surely the capital exists. Why don't we build more?

Nobody is talking about abandoning real estate.

The tragedy of people like you is that you provide a half-compelling distraction. People (cities/farmers/industry) need to use less water.

Most DJ software these days has tempo/key adjustment as well as hooks to connect to subscription karaoke services (basically Spotify for karaoke). Unless I had a business with a ton of old school gear, that's how I'd run a karaoke company nowadays.

Well, but the default of having a bag of certs with a trust store program does make sense - apps want to just be able to talk to random web servers in a secure manner and that's the only way to get that.

In many use cases you could use a store with only a self-signed certificate. That works, the APIs make it straightforward enough. It has many advantages when possible, e.g. you can set the expiry time to so far in the future it never expires, you don't have to muck about with LetsEncrypt and CAs. You do have to control the client and the server. If your frontend is a web app that's a problem. If it's a mobile or desktop app that's easy. Control over the client has other advantages too like not needing HTTP load balancers anymore (in many cases), reducing costs.
I think you misunderstand science and are maybe presuming that it’s okay to be sloppy because it will eventually result in a cure, and the only people who are disagreeing with you are animal rights activists.

What people are actually criticizing is that this technology is built on shaky science with sloppy experiments casting doubt on any claimed medical breakthroughs. We cannot just presume that because the possible quality of life increase is massive that we should stop caring about ensuring a quality of life increase.

It’s entirely possible (and has happened historically) where someone over promises a massive quality of life increase and it thereby ends up shortening peoples lives and causes more suffering precisely because whistleblowers at animal trials were ignored.
The Guardian's editorial standards have always been lacking, with the most egregious example being Greenwald's reporting in 2013. They simply have no interest in verifying that there is any truth to the claims made in their articles, so they don't do the simplest checks like verifying that there is a source or that the source documents say what has been claimed.
If they pinned a cert in the application, why use the root store at all?
