In practice, that's very rarely used, partly because inheritance is so uncommon in Javascript programs. However, for a long time, Javascript lacked anything like the __getattr__/__setattr__ methods, it has no real operator overloading, and decorators are more limited and generally rare outside of certain ecosystems. These sorts of metaprogramming techniques that are very normal in Python are more rare in Javascript, and when they are present, they're generally easier to type.
And then they limit you to 80km/h on any highways (even huge 5 lane ones) because of trying to fight emissions, instead of 120km/h as almost everywhere else. It's more frustrating than a few holes in the tarmac. I mean sure reduce emissions, but when you have private jets flying all the time and huge steel factories it's a bit frustrating to be told a motorcycle needs to stay at 80km/h to protect the environment.
The thing is though prefab toilets are used in Japan… though to be fair I’m not sure why plumbers would be against them.

I think you've lost the thread here. You seem to be arguing against yourself. I'm not assigning a pejorative categorization or speaking to whether a particular story is or isn't a conspiracy theory.

All I'm saying is that, by their very nature, if a conspiracy theory didn't look like it was true to its audience, it wouldn't have much of an audience, and I provided a link to a pretty detailed explanation of how the phenomenon works.

I'm surprised you find this controversial, but it's entirely possible I'm wrong. I'd honestly love to hear something that explains how conspiracy theories that don't look like they are true to their audience nonetheless do garner an audience.
Android/Kotlin course on Udacity, by Google: https://www.udacity.com/course/developing-android-apps-with-...

This one is slightly out of date, but it's great, something I'd happily pay $300 or so for. The value is heavily subsidized by Google. I have taught week-long Android professional certifications and this does a lot better than most of them out there.
Cute. It's the first prefab pod bathroom. Patent #2,220,482.

The patent gives a clearer idea of the design. It kind of glosses over how this integrates into the rest of the structure. It can have its own outer enclosure and stand alone, which is probably how it's set up in the Dymaxion house, which is round. Most modern pods have at least two right-angled flat sides, so the thing can be stuck in a corner.

It looks uncomfortable and dangerous. An entire bathroom of stamped sheet metal, including the floor. Oh, we'll just corrugate the floor a bit for traction. Right.
Electric resistance heating, with 1930s insulating materials. Scary.

Nothing in the patent about the "fog gun" for cleaning. Nor does there seem to be a floor drain, which is common in Japan but rare in the US.

Making it out of fiberglas, like modern bathtubs, would be much more promising. Which is how most prefab pod bathrooms are made now.

Too bad Lillian Gilbreth never worked on this problem. She was the wife of the famous time and motion study guy, and she is responsible for most modern kitchen design. Kitchen counters, all the same height, recessed sinks, not too deep, stove height matches counter height, wall mounted cabinets above the counters, drawers below - all that is her doing.[1] Before Gilbreth, kitchen were uncoordinated tables, cabinets, and appliances.[2]

If she'd done a bathroom design, it would have worked.

I built OnlineOrNot (https://onlineornot.com) - it's a hosted Status Page, with built-in Uptime Monitoring.

----

As the 200th uptime monitoring service, folks often ask me what makes OnlineOrNot different - and they often find the answer disappointing: me.

I've worked on the web for Atlassian and Cloudflare, I've seen what works and doesn't work for self-serve web apps. So OnlineOrNot has:

- docs written in clear English that aren't out of date, and load fast

- a modern, responsive web UI with errors that don't make you feel dumb

- uptime monitoring for websites, web apps, and APIs that Just Works

A shift to container sized truck-transportable transformers, such as this[1] that can be ganged in parallel to achieve any desired load could help allow the economies of scale on the production side make up for the slightly less efficient but more robust transformers that would result.

It's to handle multiseat scenarios where a single linux box handles multiple "seats" as in numerous monitor+input sets facilitating multiple seated irl users.

Imagine multiple kiosks in a train station/airport running off a single box in a corner. Or a library with a dozen monitors+keyboards hanging off a single box. Consumer PCs are so powerful these days it's quite practical to do such things, at least in terms of the hardware.

*NIX has historically cared about such multi-user use cases, and Linux/Libre software specifically has proudly facilitated making more use of our hardware vs. being wasteful by forcing purchase of more machines through superficial software limitations. The entire era of shared web hosting that arguably made Linux a commercial success throughout the 90s and early 2000s was a product of hosting more customers per less expensive commodity PC.

Something that struck me reading through a collection of Greek myths[1] a couple of years ago is that Hermes (Mercury in Roman mythology) is not only the god of messengers and communication, but of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, communication (including divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery, and thieves.[2]

It's ... as if the ancients over two millennia ago recognised that communications cut multiple ways, and can serve benefit or harm.

From a more recent example, the term "confidence man" comes from Herman Melville's novel of the same title, which takes place on the first great motorised superhighway of the United States: steamboats plying the Mississippi River. Again, travel, and the opportunities afforded by intimacies amongst strangers gives rise to both positive and negative aspects.

The co-evolution of communications, trust indicia and mechanisms, and frauds and trickeries, is constant. James R. Beniger's The Control Revolution addresses this somewhat in its study of business and commercial communications technologies and practices. Trust at a distance, over time, and at scale is particularly challenging.

Yeah but I've seen how the typical person would actually do cardinal voting, because I've seen how Yelp, Uber, IMDB ratings work. Someone who's more thoughtful about it will rank each candidate (on a scale of 0-10) at reasonable values like A:3, B:5, C:7, and someone who gets all their news from tv will rank A:10, B:0, C:0. The latter is more than canceling of the reasonable person's vote.

This kind of voting rewards dumb votes over informed votes. I'd rather have ranked voting.

> Education has not changed from the beginning of recorded history. The problem is that focus has been on schools and teachers and not students. Here is a simple thought experiment with two conditions: 1) 50 teachers are assigned by their teaching quality to randomly composed classes of 20 students, 2) 50 classes of 20 each are composed by selecting the most able students to fill each class in order and teachers are assigned randomly to classes. In condition 1, teaching ability of each teacher and in condition 2, mean ability level of students in each class is correlated with average gain over the course of instruction. Educational gain will be best predicted by student abilities (up to r = 0.95) and much less by teachers’ skill (up to r = 0.32). I argue that seemingly immutable education will not change until we fully understand students and particularly human intelligence. Over the last 50 years in developed countries, evidence has accumulated that only about 10% of school achievement can be attributed to schools and teachers while the remaining 90% is due to characteristics associated with students. Teachers account for from 1% to 7% of total variance at every level of education. For students, intelligence accounts for much of the 90% of variance associated with learning gains. This evidence is reviewed.

For this year, mine was Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

TL;DR - the book explains how humans are predictably irrational and how seeming cognitive ease in decisioning is simply laziness in action since the brain will substitute a tough decision for a similar but easy one! It has made me reflect upon why I think the way I do, helped me to remove most bias from my actions, and also has a great suggestion that you should ask others to check you if you sound stupid, which is not great for your ego but is necessary nonetheless.

I disagree. One of the best educational resources I've seen is MasterClass and tbh, people like Wayne Gretzky, Metallica, and Will Wright don't need more money nor visibility.

I've taught courses myself. We charge a lot but in my experience, it doesn't make money. It's just a social giving back thing. It's enough to cover costs of production, but not opportunity costs. But we charge because the people who come for the free courses often leave by lunch. Even when it's an expensive course paid in full by a company, people will skimp out because of "work" and it just wastes everyone's time.

It takes about 4 hours to produce 1 hour worth of slides and content. So the income can be worse than freelance coding, even when the hourly rate is higher.

Rule of thumb IMO is that the person teaching spends at least 80% of their time on the topic that they teach.

You should consider the high number of 'measures' and the negative objective outcomes (being unhelpful) coupled with not paying attention, pushing scripts over situation specific needs. Too much of coincidence over different organizations and broad type of areas to consider just one off experience, more like a trend. With rare exceptions. Of course calling bogus becuase of 'robots' provide the support where human interaction is expected part is a rhetoric here. : ) (not the unhelpfulness of pretty phrasing in place of efficiency though, that's fact)

My question was aimed at much earlier pre-DOS times, wondering if there was resistance to simple non multitasking OSs like DOS vs booting straight into the application. I was around and remember what you are describing.

Edit: for example, when I was in elementary school in the early 90s we had a lab of already antique Apple IIs, with no permanent storage or OS. We would just boot directly into programs on a floppy. Some of the programs themselves had simple features to save and open files.

Wow I knew it was bad, but I had no idea it was this bad. On a side note one of worst things(but not the only bad thing) about the Kindle Scribe is the fact that you can't easily load ebooks from other vendors on it, making note taking a hassle.

I wonder how much of the ebook sales happen through the kindle store in the west. China and other places clearly have their own stores that seem to sell larger volumes.

It's somewhat interesting that you cannot really buy ebooks from amazon.co.jp outside the country either.

Well, luckily what prolog screams is irrelevant.

Most programming language are Turing complete and if so they're also general purpose by definition. You can use them to build anything.

That said of course our definition might be different and if you don't have plenty of layers of abstraction that speed your development you won't consider that programming language compared to another.

After all, we are running JavaScript in the servers now and you can find an npm module for nearly everything. Probably someone 20 years ago would've said that "JavaScript is not a general purpose language"

Don't get me wrong, prolog may never be the next JavaScript, but is just fun how people would define something is "general purpose" or not (no hate, just a pure comment seeing things from a different angle)

It seems like essential complexity to me. I think maybe there's some ceremony around explicitly casting, validating, etc. with Ecto, but it would be hard to hide that without 'magical' assumptions and making it more inflexible. But I agree View files always felt a little redundant for many use cases where the template doesn't really need to make any function calls – and from memory, function calls in LiveView templates is not performant and causes the whole DOM to be regenerated when values change.

Everyone in my friend group is between 20-26, and for the guys it’s mostly been dealing with their self image. Their careers aren’t what they thought it would be, and most struggle with trying to get to some ideal body standard.

For the girls, it’s even worse. Most of them have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, probably due to the constant influence of people they see online.

So in a nutshell, the aspiration to be the same as “everyone else”, which eventually disappoints when they realise that what they want is unobtainable without drugs, surgery, luck or other extraordinary measures.

In the late 1980's, when I was at college in Sydney, we had a visit from a chap (I think from somewhere in the north of Europe) who'd previously won a tender for, IIRC, a booking / tracking system for a relatively small airline, all to be written in Turbo Prolog.

I recall two key things from his presentation of his final product.

First, he claimed he'd quoted a half the cost/time of a COBOL-based, and a quarter of a C-based, competing tenders -- and that he'd met his deadlines.

Second, the UI was just beautiful - for both aesthetics and performance.

I didn't have much experience in enterprisey software at the time, but what little I had seen was archetypal terminal-style, monochrome, sluggish, far from user-friendly etc. I have some (no doubt unreliable) memories of this thing looking like a 'modern' (say Amiga) GUI app.

Another item in that large category of 'I wish they'd drop these things into the public domain once they retired it from production' as it would probably still make a great demo (though most free Prolog implementations these days wouldn't support (m)any of the pretty Turbo extensions, I'm sure).
Sorry, why were they horrible? The video you linked is mostly about the failure of the manufacturer (Lustron).
