Yeah, from my understanding, basically try to keep the engine load light until at least you’ve warmed your coolant to operating temperature, but ideally 5-10 minutes beyond that as your oil(s) will take longer to heat as they’re more viscous than coolant.

Basically, drive like a grandma for ~10-20 minutes before even moderately giving it the business.

The flip side of this is that, especially if you’ve got direct port fuel injection, you’ll actually want to give it the business on occasion (once properly warmed up) for best operation, as the detergent from an increased fuel spray can help to break up carbon buildup on the top of your pistons. Either way you’ll likely want to book in carbon cleanup as a periodic maintenance item.

What do you like the most about it?
I'm curious thinking about this. I'm a very strong researcher, mild-moderate software developer, and absolutely gridlock terrified of contracts, formalities, getting locked into commitments, etc.

Like, I think I could do it, but I'm on the autism spectrum so my budget for variance is _so_ much lower. I highly downbudget things in my life that are higher variance so I look more neurotypical a lot of the time but sometimes with unavoidable stuff I get very much the more classical autism negative stuff (meltdowns, subtle meltdowns, shutdowns (!!!), a host of destimming and de-stressing mechanisms, etc).

I guess that's the thing I'm concerned about. Any field I can eventually become comfortable in once I know the different situations and how to leave the bad ones/find the good ones/have healthy strategies that personally work for me for my worst case scenarios/etc. The main problem is that I don't have the 5-10 years to really sink into that comfortably to get there from raw experience, or the stamina to go through what would seem to be my own personal hell in the meantime.

I could be totally wrong so I'm up for learning (especially if there are resources that are specifically adaptive to autism &etc -- it helps a lot!). I could see how this all could be a good thing in a different light with a different set of strategies.

(Also, Merry Christmas! <3 :D :D :D :)))))))))))))))) )
From a user’s perspective, who could be tech savvy or not, what is in front (including onboarding) is the priority.

Not realising is the time tested recipe for going DoA.

What I see going on in Mastodon world — let’s just limit it to that for the time being because terms like fediverse, activity-pub, instances confuse users even more — is likely to be a massive missed opportunity, much bigger than that of WhatsApp exodus.

So the UX and its aspects like onboarding have to change and be as welcoming as it gets.

People writing about how beautiful or pure this thing’s backend and spec are is not going to change anything except like echos for fellow enthusiasts.
Except the guy in question didn't do anything wrong. Other than, you know, exist in a certain time and place.

> There have been various attempts to replace general purpose text-based languages (such as C++ or Python) with visual programming. I don't think any of them have been very successful.

Their lack of success can have many reasons other than their general umfitness. IMO, their lack of success has much more to do with the ubiquity of text oriented tools. The breadth of tools and platforms a new programming paradigm would habe to support to truly be a replacement technology for text is staggering.

> You end up with massive spaghetti diagrams.

That's a matter of code quality which is a problem in text code too. Who hasn't encounter a codebase of many multi-thousand line C++ files. Who hasn't encountered an inheritance tree where various levels of the tree partially implement the interface and therefore results in code which bounces up and down the tree executing at all levels of the inheritance.

Generally, I find that most arguments favoring Text over visual programming are cart before the horse type arguments of the form "this feature is better in text". Usually that thing is better in text because we've had the time to make it better. The tools and platforms are mature not intrinsically superior. Text code is "clean" because we have used it long enough to understand what is "good" code quality. Text code is "durable" because we've made text standards and rendering ubiquitous across all platforms. And so on.

I wasn't part of that effort directly so I only saw what occurred at a slight distance but I'll suggest that that might not be a fair characterization. The SR2 team got quite a lot of direct support from the WinCE for Dreamcast team since it was a launch title and issues from them were given high priority. Current builds of SR2 were available at MS for testing continuously; I recall one of the early techniques the SR2 team used for the dust kicked up by the cars looked nice but absolutely tanked the framerate and they had to be advised to use another approach. They were certainly not left to stumble around in the dark.

As for performance, having an OS instead of coding to the bare metal of course imposes overhead but, from what I recall hearing, 3D performance of the WinCE SDK was on a par with Sega's SDK. The graphics engineers had access to Sega's SDK so they were able to do their own comparative benchmarking and they knew game developers would be scrutinizing that.

Ultimately, SR2's frame rate was entirely in the hands of the Sega Rally 2 development team by what code they used and what level of detail they tried to show. The cheat code for SR2 for the Dreamcast that reduces detail to increase framerate is an example of that. They were highly motivated to replicate the arcade experience as closely as possible and constrained by a need to hit the launch date and made choices that resulted in the frame rate issues SR2 has. Had they been using Sega's bare metal SDK, they may have made the same choices favoring arcade fidelity over stable framerate and therefore laying all the blame on WinCE isn't entirely reasonable.
It makes things sound inoffensive, but not necessarily good. This actually sounds good. It'd be a lovely generic arpeggio pattern in addition to the standard up/down/alternating patterns.
Where does the water go after being used for cooling?
Not sure I agree. Take a look at recently developed antimicrobials. It’s not like there haven’t been any new ones. The problem is this: they are very expensive compared to older antimicrobials (so don’t get used at all except in wealthy healthcare systems) and they are tightly held in reserve for only the most resistant cases (so very small market). The latter point is particularly insurmountable, since widespread use will make the new antimicrobial less useful. It isn’t really worth it for a drug maker. The article talks about this, indicating that public-private partnerships are the way forward.
What I must admit, typical agriculture business is very boring.

To make it less boring, could try to implement modern IoT technologies, use drones, use satellite images, use robots.

When I thinking about beekeeping, I think not about "classic" analog agriculture, but add as much electronics and computing as possible, so ideally it will be human-free business, only I, my bees and robots ;)

I think, if You will do such human-free coffee business, You could even use it as base for really big startup.

> The fact that the administration, like so many others, has simply given the loudest radical students carte blanche

I don’t think it is purely about how loud and radical some students are, it is also about how they align with the pre-existing ideological dispositions of the average university bureaucrat. Imagine, hypothetically, that the loudest and most radical students on campus were right-leaning rather than left-leaning: somehow, I doubt the same university administrators would be so quick to give in to their demands.
I've often wondered about this.

It seems to me one of the bigger risk factors is attempting to maximize profit. If you're ok not trying to maximize profit it seems to me that you can mitigate quite a bit of risk in the short term trading.

You can implement a type-aware map, reduce, filter, etc. if you use point free semantics with higher kinded types:

I have to admit it's a bit heavy, but this is totally representible in today's Typescript if I understand your ask correctly. It would be great if it was a more obvious / automatic inference, though.
If the students are united against this statement, and only the administration and current faculty are for it, then the battle is already lost. Because the students of today are the faculty of tomorrow, making this statement a temporary patch that masks how bad things have gotten.
Lewis Strauss. Read Richard Rhodes. Teller was icing on the cake.

The answer to the "Ctrl question" is quite obvious - just take a look at the space cadet keyboard. Just swap Ctrl and Alt so thumbs could be used for a busy Ctrl.

This also dramatically improve the experience in other "Ctrl heavy" applications.

P.S. I also use Caps Lock for switching layouts and never been happier.
Thank, this makes much more sense. But I doubt it will change since this flow is dependent on the country and the acquirer, for example there are countries where Visa processes all the Mastercard transactions, they can say they already allow for the x network example above to happen.

Doctors say, you take your patient as you find him- or her. Same with teachers and students: as a teacher it’s my job to be the adult in the room, to try to figure out how to get the knowledge into the student’s brain, not the other way around. I might not succeed but I have to keep trying.
I follow Ankane’s blog. He has some great posts and gems himself.
but I don’t see a problem with the FBI/CIA/etc having regular discussions with Twitter about potential threats, influence campaigns, etc.

You don't?

There is nothing special about Twitter as a private business when it comes to acceptable level of government interference. Police agencies are responsible for investigating crimes. That's their remit. They aren't allowed to compel a private individual/business to provide any evidence without a court order. Of course you can always cooperate (and Twitter looks like they were), but any lawyer worth their salt would tell you not to.

But let's tweak the scenario a bit - if the cops were coming to your local bar every day or two, asking about various patrons, maybe suggesting "hey next time maybe you shouldn't let that person in", you think there isn't a problem?
The opposite would be better: an "impure" keyword for specifying impure functions.

Or maybe, you could pass some kind of "scope" interface that provides functions for executing side effects. So "impure(IO) function printStuff()" brings all the functions in IO into scope for the body of printStuff.
In the react world, valtio is a breath of fresh air as it removes almost all boilerplate code.
You can actually accomplish this in Typescript, I linked a blog post in one of my other comments.

The key is mapping through all of the arguments and enforcing that argument N's output is a subtype of argument N+1's input.
If you can run adb shell, you should also be able to run sendevent, which lets you inject touch events into the screen. Coupled with screencap to capture screen contents, you have a way to fully remote control your phone from a connected computer.

Ages ago, I implemented a really simple program to screenshot the screen periodically and inject touch events via adb shell commands: https://github.com/nneonneo/android_remote_control. I used this successfully to recover all of the data off of a OnePlus with a broken touchscreen. I believe scrcpy, linked in other threads, is probably a better supported and more mature implementation of this idea, so you should probably try that first. Nevertheless, my little project should demonstrate that it’s possible to implement this kind of control without too much coding effort.
Seconded. Great advice. I share the same mindset and have learned to just start doing SOMETHING, because usually your amazing plans will fall through anyway, and having too firm a plan makes adjusting to circumstance discouraging, rather than simply the next step you take as part of a process of constant adjustment.
Which means these "screenshot gifs" are almost certainly fake: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apitable/apitable/develop/...
> Caps lock is such a dumb key

It's convenient to have a mode for typing in caps for stuff like "MAX_NUM_WORKERS". -- Especially if you're using Shift on the opposite hand from the letters you're typing, rather than just stretching to hold down shift the entire time.

But, the standard keyboard design isn't a very practical one. -- I think Caps Lock is better placed behind a Fn key, in the same way that "brightness up/down" is behind a Fn key on most laptops.
I thought I was talking to an intelligent person - do you understand that "necessary" is totally different category than "nice to have"? What's the point of having libraries if they will be looted or bombarded on the very next day? How can you still don't understand that having or not having the police forces is not comparable to having or not having libraries?

#ifdef COMPAQ_SOUND

// IPaqs are slow to declare a buffer finished with. Need fewer, but longer buffers.

// Longer buffers result in a time lag between the code

#define SOUND_BUFFER_LENGTH (3072)

Sorry but what? What do you do when a parent component needs access to a particular slice of state? Refactor the entire tree? What about deeply nested components? Prop drill 100 levels deep?
no one who was investing in 1900 is alive today, your point doesn't matter.
As an obsessive readonly-er, yeah this pain is real. It basically colors your functions the way async does. There is a TS issue I haven’t checked on in a while about readonly-by-default and a corresponding mutable keyword. I doubt it got much traction, but it’s a shame.

Writing Clojure I really liked that there was a baseline assumption that functions are pure and a clear signal in code when it’s stateful. It doesn’t have to color functions (but ahem it works great for Haskell), but it seems like a reasonable opt-in default that shouldn’t be so painful.
What makes you think they've stopped?

You both are right. Basilisk II is a macOS emulator. I run macOS 8.1 on it. I still have my original HC disk somewhere and Danny Goodman's great book on HC script. I probably should have said that I run HC on macOS 8.1 in Basilisk II emulation.

> I think a true fan only applies to creative works that people consume for the sake of enjoyment.

That was my thought, too. And not all creative works, either—rather, creative works where the personality and individuality of the creator are clearly expressed. The author lists “craftsperson, photographer, musician, designer, author, animator, app maker, entrepreneur, or inventor” as examples of people who “need only thousands of true fans,” but the first six seem to me much more likely to attract long-term true fans than the last three.
Imo it's a bad habit that a lot of us that don't read the article and go straight into the discussion.

Why would the opposite be better? Aren't most functions impure? The original proposal made sense to me, but I am curious as to why you believe impure is better. Can you elaborate?
What makes certain dogs popular in certain countries
ChatGPT in its current form can't replace google but plausible to think in its next few incarnations it will get there. Why can't it have a mode where it returns more rigorous results, and includes some system of links as citation? It can include footnotes for various passages of it's answer to indicate ambiguity, varying levels of confidence, etc.
This definitely is a threat to Google and websearch as we know it.

A lot of the discussion today is around the natural language output of ChatGPT. However, if that presentation is changed into a list of relevant facts, evidence, counterpoints etc., (based on which ChatGPT is generating Natural language textual response), we get an AI-powered search devoid of blog spam, SEO crap etc., Assuming advertising and commercial concerns don't corrupt the results with spurious results, this is quite encouraging.

Google is right to be worried about this.
