Hmm .... Mars has nearly no atmosphere, and, thus, nearly no bad weather, clouds, fog, rain, etc. That is, it's sunshine all the time!

Sooo, for Mars, just put the solar panels near the equator and fairly densely all around the circumference. Then, wow, have solar power 100% of the time!

Do the same on Earth??? Ah, have some jungles, mountains, two major oceans, and a lot of bad weather. For the oceans, sure, have floating solar arrays. Right, need to think about how deep the power cables to the shore would be, 3-7 miles down and then back up?

But the Internet has some cables across oceans!! Sooo, we could also have power cables???

Ah, sounds like only for Mars!
I think Hollywood's decades long risk aversion and reliance on their 'formula' for success (big budget bling and actor's with audience draw) has skewed focus away from investing in creative writers/story tellors with vision. IMHO creative writers worth their salt don't tend to chase fame or their name in lights. Big budget mentality has lost sight of this and the reason most modern shows lack compelling story telling.

>We should be moving away from monocultures in food, just as in software.

We are, aren't we? You can go to a supermarket anywhere in North America and literally get whatever you want in abundant variety. I'm not sure how you can claim we aren't "moving away" from resource constraints that have existed for eternity.

We've historically used a lot of wheat in products because we grow a lot of wheat. But there are plenty of alternatives now that never existed before.
I have had glasses for short sight since the age of 6, and have always had astigmatism too (worse in left than in right eye). In general I've had no problems with screens till recently (I'm 68 now) except problems caused by poor contrast. Among other things I used to work on accessibility for websites; it is bizarre to me that all the lessons of accessibility have been forgotten - websites were once regularly tested for accessibility, including readability for the colour-blind, and many used to display little 'stickers' to certify the level they reached - but now light grey text on white is normal and unquestioned almost everywhere (including this site). This makes text almost unreadable for me; I have to bump the font size up much more than I would otherwise. I don't get on with dark mode either, even if the contrast is ok. I have no idea if any of this relates to astigmatism.

Astigmatism can change with age so maybe you should check if you need new glasses, it might be that your astigmatism has changed.

Last thing - I've found floaters on a small scale come and go with age, they've never bothered me much. But if you have a sudden increase you need to get it checked - it might be a retina in the process of detaching.
I suspect that VCs are disproportionately exposed to people (e.g. upper and upper-middle class tech workers in SV) that are open to e.g. oat milk, meat substitutes, etc., and so bias towards everyone in the US being similarly open. Of course they probably know intellectually it's not true but it's hard to overcome the subtle biases formed by one's day-to-day experiences.

Similarly my understanding is that Cambly had a hard time raising their early round because all those VCs already knew English.
> Telling the whole story is important to journalism.

I disagree. I think journalism is simply "presenting a factual story". I think presenting a contextual story is better journalism, but it's not necessary to qualify as journalism.
On the other hand: we have natural defenses against vomitoxins. We don't against synthetic fungicides, so the fungicides might affect us worse long-term.
It used to be. Before the 4.0 release (which was shortly after Musk took over Twitter), the follow modal was much more user-friendly.

You'd get a popup telling you to enter your remote username (with autofill enabled), which then would redirect you to your actual instance to then handle the subsequent authentication and following process.

Gargron for some reason scrapped this modal when releasing 4.0s new UI (and in addition the suggested new method by copy-pasting URLs breaks remote following support in Misskey and Pleroma since those don't resolve raw WebFinger links out of safety concerns).

Ice has only been widely available for the last ~100 years, which means presumably ice to treat injuries has only been around for 100 years, which in turn means I assume someone must have done a modern study to prove it benefitted patients?

So what changed that it is no longer beneficial?
I do think there is something there, maybe time is just not ripe. The "eat, sleep and work out properly and naturally"-conservatives are currently winning and dominating the zeitgeist. Science must eventually win, and produce foods that are healthier than the natural ones. But there is no telling when that happens, and even after it has happened, it may take a long time to prove itself.

Edit: Personally I think the key to fast progress is better and better whitebox modelling of the body. More diagnostics and sensors to rapidly detect and respond to issues. When that is in place, we can do more fearless experimentation, secure in the knowledge that if something trends bad we can catch it quickly and abort / reverse.

But the hardware company is predatory for not writing a (free?) driver for their obsolete hardware on a new OS?

The rest of the world deals with this problem by adopting standards. There are plenty of peripheral makers in the PC world who could perfectly well have followed or established standards too and then their equipment might be useful indefinitely through generic, long-lived drivers. In reality many of them chose to use proprietary protocols with no public documentation available instead. Building in artificial obsolescence is certainly a predatory business model.
Can definitely second this. I know dark mode is hip and all that atm, but it does not play well with (my) astigmatism. At least go for one of those dark or medium grey ish color schemes.
> Any tips on how I can resolve this?

Use Lyft instead and don't support a company that treats you like garbage.

I did the same when they charged me $9.99 USD and then refunded me $9.99 CAD. (CAD is worth ~27% less at the moment)
Yes, because the scan frequency didn't change -- that's what I'm trying to say (my terminology may have been a bit off). The timings of the horizontal and vertical sweep of the beam were constant; upon mode change the CRTC changed how scanout occurred, doubling the width or height of pixels in lower resolution mode but it didn't change the scan frequency, allowing the mode change to occur while the beam kept moving along.

PC monitors were analog too, but with PC monitors from EGA onwards, changing modes meant potentially changing scan frequency, which required the monitor to sync with the signal at the new frequency. Apparently a high-quality Sony monitor could do this instantly but many of us were slumming it with monitors that took a while to sync.
It depends on what you mean by 'cave'. The classic process of cave formation happens in limestone, in 'karst' areas. These aren't evenly distributed, and some countries have tons of them and others not. But there are other ways to form caves too: erosion by the sea can form sea caves, lava tubes are created by volcanic activity, and there are cave-like mines produced by humans in many places with minerals.

So you can probably find some small hole to grovel down in most places, but the good stuff is concentrated in parts of Kentucky, the Alps, the classical Karst, parts of China and so on.

The include their motivation in their language spec:

"What makes wing special? Traditional programming languages are designed around the premise of telling a single machine what to do. The output of the compiler is a program that can be executed on that machine. But cloud applications are distributed systems that consist of code running across multiple machines and which intimately use various cloud resources and services to achieve their business goals.

"Wing’s goal is to allow developers to express all pieces of a cloud application using the same programming language. This way, we can leverage the power of the compiler to deeply understand the intent of the developer and implement it with the mechanics of the cloud."
Z8000 doesn't get a lot of love. 2 of them were used in Namco pole position 1 and 2 and this makes that game harder to convert to FPGA without an existing

Good luck. I have a similar problem, and filling out a support request doesn't even result in an acknowledgement email and nobody can tell me why. I did find a live support option once by accident and I've been looking for that again, but am unable to retrace my steps to get that back open. I didn't get much further with that either, they didn't seem interested in helping.

I've just moved over to Lyft. Not worth my time to fight with Uber when there are other options.
I don’t think Stadia itself was groundbreaking. Xbox cloud worked as good as Stadia.

But a few yrs in the big players in the cloud gaming industry figured out some critical latency issues around the controllers and optimizing delivery of the video feed. To the point where lag was almost non-existent on a good fiber connection. The datacenter stuff was obviously the core innovation though.

I still prefer to download my Xbox games to my series s/x but I spent a year playing Xbox cloud games exclusively and I could 100% see that being the default for a big part of the casual audience.

VCs prop up money-losing unit economics to “reduce friction” while making the company grow quickly and dump on the public. Figure out the business model later. Rinse and repeat.

For example WeWork with Neumann or Uber with Kalanick.

Is negative unit economics better than a token with absolutely no utility?

I would say yes - because they often create a valuable marketplace that serves customers and pays providers. They just find out later that they are in a race to the bottom with other platforms. Which means healthy market competition.

However, if the stock continues to do well, it means the shareholder class (now representing public shareholders) continues to extract rents from both sides of the ecosystem. Uber is still extracting rents years later… drivers pay it half what we pay them.

An open source platform economy would have been better for the public, with none of the controversy of Big Tech platforms. All these Ubers could have been had source competitors a long time ago. Why don’t they?
> I believe a light theme (black letters on white/gray background) is better for astigmatism. With a dark theme, the bright letters will bleed into the dark areas surrounding them.

I would go even further - a light theme is better for optical clarity, period. Think about how a pinhole camera works [0]. "Up to a certain point, the smaller the hole, the sharper the image, but the dimmer the projected image." A pupil is basically the pinhole of a pinhole camera. The brighter the light, the smaller your pupil gets (up to a point), and the sharper the image.

I personally switch between light and dark modes. During day time, I turn on all the interior lighting and switch to light mode. During the night, I turn off the lights, use Flux [1], use dark mode, and bump the zoom in VS Code. This is to optimize for sleep.

gcc-avr is a different package from the regular gcc:

I don't know why it's an older version, you'll have to ask the Debian people. Maybe there's a reason, but most likely ist's justthat gcc tends to be a difficult piece of software to package and not enough people care/have time to keep the avr version to to date.

There’s a BIG difference in how each optician / optometrist / ophthalmologists measures and determines and prescribes glasses for people with astigmatism.

I have astigmatism. It’s -0.5 at 80° in my right eye, -1.0 at 100° in my left eye. Meaning it’s 10 degrees off the vertical axis, different in each eye, symmetric to the face.

My “eye doctor” – my opthalmologist? — is a good doctor. Well educated, does a good job as a doctor. He gave me a straight -0.5 / -1.0 myopia prescription after measuring “some astigmatism”, said “this is fine”.

Then I went to a not-a-doctor guy. A licensed optician? Optometrist? Skilled and well-educated. He took the time to measure the precise degree of astigmatism and was careful to prescribe a close and practical match to the measured astigmatism. I had no idea he would do that, and no expectations of any difference whatsoever. And: Those glasses are MUCH better. I see better, see clearer, can work forever, don’t get tired in the eyes or head. Feel sharper.

I’m kind of reluctant to add this last part as it probably seems implausible, but my experience with this more detailed prescription for astigmatism is that it has allowed my depth perception to improve. Slowly. I thought I was imagining it, but it does make sense according to the optometrist and scientific papers. Basically if you get a better signal to the brain, you get better processing, better learning, better adaptation. And less tired.
And they might think they have done so well with software and SaaS in low interest rate enviroment that they will do well with physical products. Not seeing that food is much harder market to penetrate, with often low margins and products spoiling in various ways, not forget fun of manufacturing and distributing to more than Amazon or single warehouse.
They probably don't even know why :) Some machine learning decided to ban him.

Edit: "Abroad" relative to what though? If to Europe from US, there are other options than Uber. May vary depending on country. Bolt should be present here and there. The Lyft service that someone mentioned doesn't seem to be available in Europe.

"Claims about Elon Musk since the Twitter takeover" in a nutshell.
Great addition, and a very important point. Analysts are expected to use the exhaust and incidental output of applications to try and generate insight instead of their needs being better considered at the design stage.

This is all within the context of analysts also needing to reconcile across multiple source (SaaS and other) systems leads to very brittle pipelines, and consumers downstream completely dissatisfied.

It seems as useful as “using System;” in c#
I don't think so. Wirth languages are generally not appreciated because they are short sighted. They guy designs a language with only one goal: to build a compiler that runs in the machine he's currently working on.

* This system has a way to run programs where I need to specify the program name and the files it'll work on? Ok, that goes into the language: `program X (input, output)`

* I need a couple of variadic functions? Why bother creating a protocol for them? Let's put the ones I need into the language.

* I need to format numbers in these couple of functions? No need to write a library function for that; that would force me to create a variable string type, which I don't need. No, I'll add a special parameter syntax just for these functions into the language.

Etc., etc. Somebody needs to come and works hard in making a Wirth language usable for general programming before they can be appreciated.
Yeah I never understood the theory behind why you would ice something.. It'd just reduce bloodflow via vasoconstriction which seems like the opposite of what you'd want unless you had a specific reason to the contrary. Same with anti-inflammatories, unless it's completely out of control then both the inflammation and the resultant pain are doing a job for you (telling you to stay off it and doing repair work.)

I hope this research continues until it's conclusive one way or the other and if it's the opposite of what I (and that paper) suggest then we should have a good explanation for that.

>So while there may be health benefits for organic lettuce, for example, there’s higher risk of food borne illness

It's a classic problem. At scale, industrial farming and everything that goes with it is net positive to society. It produces the best nutrition, on average. But on any individual level (be that geographic location, or you, the person), organic farming can have more nutritional benefits.

It's the same as the COVID vaccine. For society as a whole, it's beneficial if everyone gets the vaccine. It produces better health outcomes, on average. But at the individual level, it might be better if you don't get the vaccine.

Unfortunately, organic farming at scale has issues, and avoiding the vaccine at scale also has issues.
If we can get unit-costs on those pellets down, that sounds like a great starting point for high-speed spacecraft propulsion.

Not in the Expanse "pellets explode and produce electricity" way but in the Project Orion "explode nuclear bombs behind a shock absorber and ride the shockwave" way [1]. Just that this allows you to build much smaller and more manageable spacecraft (important since you probably still want to reach orbit with more traditional propulsion)
