Is it actually though? I haven't seen it admittedly, but stories like this make me doubt whether it's actually a realistic look at farming at all.

> 'Today they’re made in Germany but they still look Lambo-mad,' writes Clarkson, who turned his back on the tractor models recommended to him by other farmers to buy one. 'If an Aventador were to make love to a spaceship, this is what you’d end up with.'

> The result is huge, even by tractor standards, he admits: 'Every single farmer type who’s seen it says the same thing. ‘That,’ they intone with a rural tug on the flat cap, ‘is too big.’ But in my mind tractors are like penises. They cannot be too big.'

> His Lambo is so huge, in fact, that Clarkson had to build a new barn to house it in. And a new driveway, because it wouldn’t fit through the gates.

> Operating it requires great care for more reasons than just its proportions, Jeremy has discovered — due to the amount of torque generated by its straight-six turbodiesel engine (775 lb ft), fitting machinery to the back is a risky business.

> 'Not that I can attach anything to its rear end. It’s all heavy engineering back there and I just know that if I tried, you’d be reading about yet another farmer walking for four miles across his fields with his severed arm in a bag.'

> Therefore, Clarkson has been forced to hire someone to do that for him. All this together means that the Lamborghini has ended up costing a little bit more than the £40,000 he initially paid for it.

I wouldn't know enough about farming to judge the show even if I had watched it, but ultimately his job with the show is to create entertainment, not to accurately document the realities of a British farm, so I find it hard to believe he's managed to do that.

Hah. Having private business owners pit working class people against each other over superficial ethnic and cultural differences is possibly the least Marxist thing imaginable.

That's what I am saying exactly that it is very articulate and pro consumer. And that US is where it is because of its state apparatus. There are surely some failures here and there but it functions nevertheless.

How do you read it differently?
A public person who broadcasts public statements to the world, as part of his audience engagement strategy, no less, can very much be dropped by editors who don't want those views associated with their newspaper, and who don't want to pay him.

Note also that Adams's political views have been coming more and more into his comics these days. He's had no end of comics making fun of preferred pronouns, of Wally deciding to be trans to get more money, of companies hiring black people just to up their "diversity quota," who then claim to "identify as white."

There's been a whole ton of anti-trans and race baiting for a while now, and when the dog whistles in the comics match the very explicit words in his public speaking, there's not a lot of ambiguity.

There seems to be a growing trend for companies to favor rich buyers. When companies start losing customers they raise prices instead of reacting to the market and lowering prices (it's almost like they think they have a monopoly or something). There are way more new products that only the rich could afford ($150,000 camper vans) than there ever used to be. The EV makers have totally ignored the under $20,000 market. This seems doomed, the eventual result will be no sales since the market will saturate quickly due to few buyers while the economy (which is 70% just people buying things) will collapse because no one can afford anything any more and the companies will no longer be able to make their numbers no matter how high they raise prices.

From that article:

> For example, the average South Korean woman was about 4-foot-7 ...

That's closer to 5 feet than 4 feet. And 4 foot 7 is kind of hard pressed to be "around 4 feet", which most people would read as "around 4 foot 0".
I have found standard distros on relatively recent versions don't have issues with configure / make / make install, or at least issues I can solve fairly easily with googles
It struck me that both in this case and Theranos, they exploited the weakness in "sampling audits" where external parties are shown only a sample of the product on the faith that the rest of the inventory is the same. Like showing a few machines and switching around the serial numbers here, or in Theranos case showing one blood test machine but not the off-the-shelf tester actually performing the assays. It's actually pretty difficult for an auditor to do an exhaustive search - what would they do, ask to visit 3000 machines?
Efficiency of photosynthesis applies after delivering light to the plant.

So take your 12% delivered Solar PV -> LED light to the plant ... and then apply 5% photosynthetic efficiency to that.

The efficiency of naturally-delivered sunlight to plants is of course 100%.

(I believe that's what you're actually calculating here, though your "As a comparison..." statement confuses the message.)
> It's not a Docker alternative, they are very different. There's some overlap in the sense that you can package an app using both. But that would be like saying APT is a Docker alternative.

They do share one use case: run software without having to install it.

I think Docker mostly is about running services in an isolated manner, and is easy to distribute (because its images will run the same way in each host). -- But, I do see some CLI tools provide a docker container, too.

Nix, with its flakes, supports a `nix run` command which is very similar to `docker run` (if you're thinking of "run without installing" rather than "process / network isolation"). -- In that sense, it is like 'Docker, but without containers'.

e.g. you can run `nix run nixpkgs#helix` and try out helix, or even `github:helix-editor/helix` to build & run helix from its source.
They solve different problems.
CMake can generate Makefiles, among others.

autocrap, oh, sorry, autotools and CMake are software confguration systems, not build systems per se.

If you know your environment Makefiles are way to go.

If you need to build your portable software on 5 different OSes (and 3 versions of each of these OSes) with 6 different compilers... Good luck with Makefiles.

You can't use simulated annealing or gradient descent in your product and claim that you have built something intelligent. That would be laughable and validate these kind of messaging from the government.

AI is indeed a very ambiguous and subjectively defined term. In my own personal subjective opinion anything that does not have survival instinct is not remotely intelligent. By that definition unicellular organisms are more intelligent than a Tesla self driving vehicle.
I think there's also the unstated assumption that artists with privately held unsavory beliefs maybe also hold those beliefs loosely, and could feasibly come to recognize those beliefs as such. (Or hypothetically could have, in the case of deceased artists.)

Whereas artists who are vocal in their unsavory beliefs tend also to hold them strongly -- to the point of doubling down in the face of consequences as Scott Adams has done.

Personally, I have no qualms about moving on from artists whose strongly held personal beliefs unsettle me. There are plenty of other great artists on the world.
Cool article. I didn't like this game, but I was always impressed by the smooth scrolling when the screen bounced in response to Bluto jumping around. It gave the game a "big-budget" or arcade-quality feel, which frequently distinguished arcade games from home adaptations. This despite my having an Atari 800, whose hardware provided silky-smooth fine scrolling and sprites.

The glow of multicolor game characters on a CRT just brings back the excitement of arcades. I wonder if anything has that kind of entertainment value for kids today.

I got curious and went to check the schematics. On the original PC, the READY input to the 8088 is the synchronized version of the RDY input to the 8284 clock generator chip (which probably explains why Ken and I were spelling it differently). This is generated by a latch delay circuit automatically based on the IOCHRDY signal on the 8 bit ISA bus (and some other local stuff on the board), which itself is an open collector line pulled high.

So indeed, if nothing does anything, #READY will go active automatically, simultaneously with the data lines (not!) being driven, and the CPU will sample junk.

Which is to say: IBM had to add a bunch of hardware to the board just to synthesize a default/ignore behavior for this line, which wouldn't have been necessary had Intel done it right the first time.

I'm sorry if what I said bothered you. I will stick to responding to your criticism of me, and not include any further criticism of you in this response.

I don't think I'm better or holier than you, I regularly fail to live up to what I'm suggesting. I'm not trying to impose anything on you; everything I said was a suggestion, and I interpreted your offering me advice as an invitation to offer advice in return.

Much like you feel you have license to tell people they are being childish when you judge it appropriate, I feel I have license to tell people they are being rude when I judge it appropriate. Both of us are expressing our view of how people should behave in this community, "back seat moderating" if you will.

Thank you for your feedback. Have a great rest of your day.
The word "discrimination" has two meanings.

> 1. the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of ethnicity, age, sex, or disability.

> 2. recognition and understanding of the difference between one thing and another.

> Deciding who to have sex with is definitely a form of discrimination.

It's definitely discrimination in the sense of (2). But that doesn't seem to have any ethical implications.

Arguing that selecting sexual partners is unjust because it is "discrimination" in the (1) sense already assume it is "unjust". It assumes what is to be shown.

In other words. The reason discrimination (1) is considered unjust is not "because it is discrimination" but because people have made arguments for why treating people differently in certain situations is unjust.

What's the argument for why it's unjust that young men can't have sex with people against their preference?

Lots of massage with the knuckles of my hands and gua sha helped reverse and stop my carpal tunnel symptoms.

I also have something called The Stick I occasionally use on my arms which helps prevent a lot of the pain I feel on my wrists (since muscles are interconnected and when one group is compromised, another steps in to take its place, even if that's not what it's supposed to do, leading to pain).

I used the same principles to get rid of my plantar fasciitis.
CMake don't have constructions like "I don't know which C++ compiler is selected, but turn on all warnings for it" and such. So, you need to write compiler-specific options by hands. Many people knows only gcc and/or clang.

CMake declare that it shields developer from knowing nuances of build systems and toolchains, but does it very badly.
I'm fond of the MISRA C approach where you have all these bright line (even machine checkable maxims) but if you have a reason to break one you're just supposed to write up a report why its better to do it this way and how you've addressed the risks.

Seems like a reasonable trade for the occasional "goto again".

[Before anyone reads the above as advocating MISRA C ---- I think MISRA actually tells you not to do "goto fail;" which is advice I'm kind of dubious about. It also tells you to not do "good = good && side_effecty_thing();" (no shortcutting operators when there are side effects) so its style has you make a typical function absolutely littered with explicit initialization guards.]

A huge portion of python programmers, probably more than any other language, see python (and programming in general) purely as a means to an end, not a craft to be learned. They will happily do the bare minimum of learning required in order to get working code that solves their problem, which probably means emulating a lot of python code without type hints, and not reading documentation if they can help it.

To be clear, I don’t fault these people at all. They probably have other priorities in their work.
I have to go look up all kinds of things whether I'm using Rust, Cpp, or python.

The package manifest for rust projects isn't as straightforward as some imply, but yeah, better than cmake!

However the comparison isn't totally fair. When building a cmake project, it's muscle memory to go `cmake ..` out of source, then do it again and tab complete to choose the build options. That's 99% of the work I have to do when pulling dependencies.

If you want a turnkey package build, just use vcpkg for Cpp. And guess what, it'll sit right on top of cmake.

What TFA is talking about is a 5% or less workflow: making a new package from scratch when you don't have internet connectivity or don't have a bespoke cmakelists.txt to reference. Makes for a nice blog post, but that's not a common dev workflow.

It's not really a risk. I use a MAD. In the morning I have a little insert that realigns my overbite and do 5 minutes of muscle exercises. If i don't do that i notice alignment issues when I'm chewing. If i do, it's not an issue at all throughout the day. There are studies that have shown that overbite decreases over time but it's not clear if they do the reset procedure every morning.
Feels apropos of the data science job being mostly a waste that was big earlier.

I like the prescriptive advice at the end. Will probably try it. I don't have high confidence it will help find meaningful work/tasks, though.
As someone who gets easily upset by bad websites, I actually really don't mind those banners. Why? Because it's extremely smooth and easy to scroll past them.

> something like 13% of men in history successfully reproduced before civilisation enforced monogamy

Note that doesn't necessarily mean only 13% of men were having sex.

A woman could have sex with a 2000 different men over the course of 20 years and only at most less than 40 of those 2000 men could reproduce as a result of those couplings.
That is not how you normally do interop in Rescript.

> But I'm convinced that Faarlund is correct [1]; that Old English is not the only ancestor of Modern English, and that actually Modern English is more like a creole of Old English and Old Norse.

But your link says the opposite of that:

> In the book, we show that both synchronically and historically, Middle (and Modern) English is unmistakably North Germanic and not West Germanic. (Uncontroversially, Old English, just like Dutch and German, is West Germanic.) That is, Middle English did not develop from Old English.

> We claim that Middle and Modern English are instead direct descendants of the language spoken by Scandinavians who had relocated to England over more than two centuries prior to the Norman Conquest. We refer to this earlier language as Norse.

The model there is that you have Angles in England speaking English and they get so badly overrun by Norse settlers that their language is replaced rather than influenced. None of them realize that this has happened; everyone blithely continues to refer to their language as "English" even though they've switched what language they're speaking. That seems like a difficult case to make.

I was of course just stunned thinking WTF!??!, then walked on, and it turned out that that house was adjacent to the back of a grocery store lot, and the corner where the dumpsters were, only a few dozen yards away in a straight line... Well-stocked dumpsters clearly make for fat & happy rats!
