> If two native Irish people were in a hostage situation, held by English speakers who didn't know any Irish, and had to communicate without being understood, most would probably manage to do so.

Perhaps, so long as what they needed to communicate was that either they wanted permission to go to the bathroom, or that they liked something in the room (most likely a girl, cake, or window).
Most professional programming is done in already existing code and new projects often have to respect existing standards. You rarely get to choose what language to use.
I don't hate it, but it's just mediocre. Python is fine for short scripting as long as you don't need dependencies (which still remains rocket science in Python world), at that point it's better to look elsewhere.

Because gaming GPUs are not really profitable to AMD.

As a reference, between 2008 and 2011 when ATI/AMD had the biggest technological lead over Nvidia's disaster architectures, even then when AMD was at near 50% market share it merely posted 19M of profits across 3 financial years! In the same time frame, despite terrible performances, Fermi architecture already going into the 400w consumption range, even then Nvidia posted billions of profits across the same time frame.

AMD has simply stopped competing with Nvidia on prices, it's nonsense to them.

Nowadays both Nvidia and AMD sell more GPUs to datacenters and super computers, where net margins are also twice as high than they do to gamers.

Essentially both AMD and Nvidia are abandoning the gaming aspect of their hardware, stopped competing price-wise, instead they prefer both to sit on higher margins in the gaming market and focus on GPGPU aspect for business, research, automotive, AI, etc, etc, where the real money and growth is.

The fact that this hardware is also able to crunch rendering calculations is more and more of a side effect.

Auto insurance models like many other insurance models are often not that smart. The insurance company will charge more of there is more claims payout, but they also want to attract certain client segments and compete with competitors.

Also, claim rates have all kind of confounding factors. Maybe a car is safer but more prone to theft, or more dangerous but easier to repair, or has better controls but is driven by inexperienced drivers etc.

They need to make a profit over their whole insured client population, not necessarily over any given segment or car model, so I wouldn't use insurance rates as data points in determining car safety without a lot of caveats.
Yeah, nobody hates Python
We were in the market last year for a new car. After test driving a few with touch screens, we decided to instead go for a barely driven 10 year old model. No touch screens and far fewer digital parts and connections which well eventually break.

If you're convinced, for some silly reason, that you live in a legit republic, I recommend researching how a banana republic operates, or say Russia, which is also a democracy & a republic on paper, and learn how every single procedure and institution is subverted and behind the decorum, the rulers are doing whatever they want, basically.

And once you do this... look back to your country with new eyes, and you'll be shocked. It's the same thing. But with more make-up on.

I was 13 when I downloaded QTest, the ID Software tech demo, from a local BBS. My brother and I shared the computer- a 486 dx2-50, in our 'bedroom'- an unfinished basement. The antique desk our only furniture, a bare lightbulb hanging from the beams. Our mattresses sat on bare concrete, surrounded by cardboard boxes. My digital metabolism and BBS habit was pretty amped up by that point, but it's so hard to describe the feeling of running QTest. Doom was exhilerating... Quake was profound. Suddenly decades of future progress had crystalised.

Bless Carmack for including features such as scaling render output independently from screen resolution (+/- buttons by default?). It allowed us to share this vision of the future with our not-quite adequate DX2-50.

The problem is that people love touch screens. I could never figure that out. I have always hated touch screens. They are imprecise, dirty, they inevitably hide information when you have to place your hand over them and they make packing information tightly really hard.

But, people love them because they have what appears to be zero learning curve and people hate to learn even the simplest of tasks.
That is not really true these days. for a Long time many cars have had small screens in the center of the dash and 4 way buttons to navigate into menus of the car to preform different tasks. These buttons are contextual to the menu they are in, and many even have double tap, hold, etc options with in the button response matrix.

> «maar ik kan een beetje maar Nederlands spreken» and I'm not even sure I'm supposed to use "maar" twice in that sentence or not.

“maar” can both mean “but” or “only” but you have to use it like this: «maar ik kan maar een beetje Nederlands spreken» literally translated as: «but I only can speak a little Dutch». A native speaker would use it twice.
As long as both have unsold inventory of their older architectures, they will not lower prices of the current generation, and they won't enter a price war. Intel's next generation might be able to exert some pressure, but by then AMD and Nvidia will probably have cleared their old inventory anyway.
I'm not a digital privacy dogmatist and in like general terms I agree that sometimes states have legitimate powers to wiretap or whatever. And I agree that the idea that any group of people anywhere can communicate in near perfect secrecy about whatever they want is a little scary. But technology has put us in a challenging position wherein it seems like our only two choices are living in a perfect surveillance state all the time, where everything can be, in principal, observed by the state at a whim and the former reality, where people can have genuinely private communications.

When I think of it in those terms, I'd rather humans continue to have privacy, even if it allows ne'er do wells to conspire secretly.
I'm sure that's fair. I was in the offshore drilling industry for a few years so I'm more aware of the nuances (at least on the exploratory drilling side) than most.
We're not discussing a "both ways" situation here. The premise was that big companies should be broken down, while countries should be kept monolithic, strictly overpowering them.

I'm asking... prove to me that governments vs corporations are a kind of conflict where governments are always correct. Because if they ARE NOT... then the idea "we must break up any company before it can even talk to us" is bullshit, isn't it?

Did anyone say that something was wrong with typescript? It’s my preferred language these days, in non-tech enterprise you’ll basically have to use it and since it’s good enough for everything, it’s easy to have small teams that can all work together in one language. This means the frontend developer gets to go on vacation (or call in sick) without bringing a laptop. It also means you can easily share in-house libraries and ask each other for ideas/troubleshooting more easily. And so on, there are obviously downsides as well but over all it’s a joy to work with.

That doesn’t mean I don’t want Rust “people” to work on frontend stuff for Rust. Typescript is good, I like using it, but I’d like to have options. If not for anything else, then for Typescript to take the best parts of Rust and use them.

I don’t personally think we’re going to see a massive shift away from a JavaScript world until someone like Microsoft starts driving the change. The amount of resources they pour into Typescript means it’s not likely to leave my world any time soon. But if it did, and something better came along then I’d be happy, not sad.

I'm not a fan of using names to convey additional information.

for example, when new information comes to light that attributes the attack to someone different, instead of updating meta data you either have the name remain wrongly attributing it or you change the name and cause a load of confusion.

The recent Unrecord demo [0] looks amazingly realistic at parts, but it shows what I think we're still lacking, realistic non-mo-capped human visuals. To my eyes anyway, there's still something very fake about the way characters move their bodies, their eye saccades, their mouths, the way they breathe and tumble, at least in terms of what can be achieved by realtime game physics. Certainly given enough render time, studios can pretty convincingly fool the eye even now.

10% of the population in spain was using netflix before this, as a reference 12% in germany, not that much difference. We'll see, but I think it has more to do with the decline in quality of the content and people sending a message than anything else.

Why on the board? Are you a minister right now in your government, by any chance, to make this comparable? Are you a represented in the parliament/congress? Or maybe you don't understand shareholders, in fact, vote? That's funny.
The efficiency mostly comes from _moving_ heat that already exists, instead of creating new heat.

Depending on the specifics, that's often about 5x more efficient.

Counterintuitively - the "heat" source doesn't have to actually be hot. In theory as long as it's above absolute zero it can be used as a heat source to heat up the inside of your home. It's the same for cooling - even if it's hot indoors and really hot outdoors, you can still use a heat pump to make it even colder inside the hosue.
> And to me this reads as petulant redefining of terms in the hopes of pulling a gotcha

You are the one doing the petulant redefining.

> But household has always been the combination of a physical house and a social group in it. To claim otherwise is silly.

Not true.

Household has a well established meaning that you are trying to redefine. The referent of "household" is a social group and does not include the house itself. The house is merely part of how that social group can be defined.

If your house is destroyed in a fire, you don't stop being a household while it is rebuilt. If you own a vacation home, the household doesn't change based on who might be visiting the vacation home at any given time.

> Even "family" is typically constrained to immediate family. Such that nobody expects family benefits at a job to extend to their cousins. Heck, we don't even expect it to extend to siblings or parents.

You seem to have trouble with meanings. Just because some employment benefits described with the term "family" are contractually limited, doesn't change the meaning of the word "family". In fact, even the term "immediate family" explicitly includes siblings, spouse's siblings, parents, spouse's parents, grandparents, etcetera.

Parthenon marbles were taken by lord Elgin with authorisation from the Muslim Ottoman invaders that were holding Greece at the time. The Ottoman's purpose was to destroy any marker of civilization in the land they had invaded.

One of my favourite Voyager episodes. While being an action two-parter, which I wouldn't normally care for over ethical/exploratory stories, they were careful to look at the practical and emotional implications of surviving in a battered starship with a skeleton crew throughout.

Tuvok and Seven becoming acquainted through her assistance with the consequences of his injury and sharing perspectives on their shipmates was fun.

Other scenarios like being trapped in a damaged turbolift, The Doctor struggling with the more utilitarian ethics of emergency medicine, all refreshing to see.

Living on "spiced up" rations while hiding in a nebula – that they can barely get out of afterwards – was another nice touch.

Actual combat was not the focus and I appreciated that.

In general the glimpse of Voyager as a story where state persists over time rather than reset each episode was compelling. It's not the only example of a kind of statefulness, but it reserves a place in my heart for Year of Hell, even though the actual time paradox A-plot is silly.

Define "more advanced"? Besides perhaps MobilEye's SuperVision there is no ADAS as advanced in terms of what it can do, if you believe otherwise you need a reality check. Reliability? Sure, Mercedes has their famed L3 in stop and go traffic, in good weather, if the road doesn't curve too much. FSD, if you use it, takes over your driving 99% of the time, which is why I'm saying tactile buttons or not is just not that important at that point. It might not make sense to switch back to buttons if cars of all brands will have their own version of FSD in a few years.

Simple, Sparse and Profound: David Sexton on Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go
The problem with the “no-frills” proposition is that it’s loaded with frills, complexities, and decades of tech debt. Just installing dependencies for a Python project can feel insurmountable.

IMO JavaScript should be the default for any Python use case. It has the same deceptive veneer of beginner-friendly dynamic behavior, same kinds of footguns; but at least JS has a single package manager, much faster optimized engines, and you’d have to learn it for front-end work anyway so it has long-term dividends.
