I'm not sure how willing I am to peg the PC platform to Microsoft.

Just looking at the 1980's there were tons of operating systems being created & getting used. That there could be so many OSes was part & parcel to it suddenly being possible to create so much hardware.

I see this as a time of diversification & enablement, a great opportunity, that yes, latter Microsoft did emerge top of the heap on. But they were more incidental a player than anything else, in my mind; they rode the wave that was happening. And they contributed very little. DOS with TSR driver stuff wasn't exactly a place for cooperation; it too was wild west.
There are two reasons to point "on the first try" and leave out all the other context (in particular, the giant body of work done by other space agencies and engineering technologies, especially the US's, that China built on): 1) to artificially elevate China's achievement; 2) out of ignorance. I suppose an assumption of ignorance might be considered more charitable somehow, since at least it implies the author could learn something.

I guess that's noble to try and make your library compatible. I don't think they're giving up much by dropping native private vars. I'm in the camp of "if this var is documented as private/do not use and you use it anyway and then I change it and your code breaks, then that's on you". i.e. just prefix vars you don't want people to use with `_` or something.
Easy. bankruptcy. Well, not quite. I got my first lot from a crowd called Top Up indstries in Taiwan (http://www.top-up.com.tw). I think they were around $12 in 2017. I got the next lot as a good deal on Bourne faders from digikey, about $17 NZ, maybe three years ago
Yes, but then you run into signal-to-noise issues. It's much easier when I can trust that 90 or 95 or 99% of the automatic deletions will be legitimate, than if only 50% or 20% are, then they become an annoyance.
Non-locals don't know the suburb name, so when talking to non-locals I use Seattle. When talking to locals, I use the suburb name.

I've used the design you're describing with a heat-based valve, and it's definitely superior. I've never seen a cooktop with both gas and electric - is this redundancy in case one service or the other is interrupted?
“Find forms of content not likely to be used with this sort of thing, or that an AI generated video can easily replace (we're practically there already). Differentiate. Build your brand.”

So written word and video are off the table. What alternative forms of content are worth pursuing in your mind?
I’ve wondered this too. Are there people who don’t look at their bank statements?

I look every month, there’s only 30-50 transactions and if I don’t recognize any, I look into it.

If people have unknown subscriptions then that’s likely a signal of larger financial problems. It’s good that this issue is helped, but likely they need some education and it’s probably dangerous for them to trust any third party with their finances.
And the non-stretch limos (Lincoln Town Car etc) went from sorta expensive to cheapo.
The codebase of an internal system our team inherited is pretty old (14 years) and large, and there's a feeling a lot of the stuff is unused (dead code or unused ancient features) and can be deleted. Fortunately, it's a monolith and all that matters is HTTP endpoints defined in a few config files. So we've made a script which downloads all access logs from the live server for the last 3 months and tries to find endpoints with zero or very low usage (it did find quite a few unused or rarely used endpoints). I'm planning the second step to be a script which builds a dependency graph and finds everything which is only reachable from unused endpoints. I wanted it to be a one-time endeavor but this blog post made me think it should be run on a regular basis.
> It's too damn hard, and they weren't about to risk the lives of astronauts.

The same government that exposed its soldiers to nuclear detonations? That did biological weapons testing on its own civilian population?

You're absolutely right, there's no way they would have risked late-life cancer or even a spaceflight explosion on a dozen people who signed waivers of informed consent.

Every single one of us is expendable to our government. If they thought it important, or even just really really wanted to, they'd have killed thousands in the attempt. Anyone who doesn't see that is estranged from reality.

There are 10k's-100k's of aging black and brown men in US prison for de facto life for having a joint or being accused of some random crime without having a proper defense. The US has the highest incarceration rate on the planet per capita except for the Seychelles, and this includes all of the unofficial carceral populations of regimes like China, Russia, and DPRK. Some countries consider ~21 years to be "life" because a person may recalibrate, transform, and be rehabilitated in that time frame. America is a punitive, brutal, soulless regime. It has mass shootings because its socio-economic order, fulfillment, and values are third-world, at best.
Much simpler and accurate to say "a suburb of Seattle." So your original statement was misleading in several ways.

E.g. Seattle City Light has a better reputation for uptime than Puget Sound Energy.
That isn't dead code.

Dead code is shit that has a build rule and no other build rules in the entire repo depend on it. Or private functions that have no callers in an application that isn't built with any kind of reflection capabilities.
Modern stretch limos seem to all be SUVs. I guess cause they're body-on-frame. The old ones were body-on-frame sedans like the LTC, which are no longer made.
That's awesome, cat level longevity.

How would they fare as indoor, backyard dogs taken for twice daily sedate walks though?

My personal (probably unpopular) opinion is that a lot of inner city people should not have the dogs they have - who need to be able to run around at all times, not just waste away.

It's also why I don't have a dog, for exactly this reason - I don't live in the country, with enough free space around.
True enough.

Now, in this specific case is there evidence that this person abused children first hand and|or filmed themselves doing so?

Apparently the court saw no such evidence if they merely charged and found on filesharing.
Height benefits are a strictly zero sum game.
Every benefit for a taller person is an equivalent detriment for a shorter person in their peer group. I can't support cultural tropes that require certain people be put down for the benefit of others. However as long as human beings retain their ancestral instincts we'll never learn any better.

The risk for the ad-based business model is on the buy side.

Digital "won" because it could generate pretty dashboards to convince people that it was producing better targeting/reach/etc. than traditional spray-and-pray ads. They acted like they had a solution for "I don't know which half of my ad money is wasted."

To deliver this, we built a world of trillion-dollar middlemen, the creepy tracking experience, and opaque platforms.

So now we can answer that question, but the answer is two-fold: "the wasted part of the ad spend is the cash paying for Mark Zuckerberg's VR hobby and not actually turning into pixels on customer screens" and also "You're now wasting 70% of your ad spend, and it's a bigger total spend than when you were hand-wringing about wasting 50% of it."

A lot of the slop in the ad market is low-quality channels feeding off of bottom-feed networks, most of which would be unviable without a large, confusing ad supply chain. Nobody actively goes out to be the unskippable ad that people are accidentally clicking because a crappy mobile game launched it mid-screen in the middle of play, but that sort of garbage is bankrolling a lot of products.

I expect the bubbles will pop one day, and we'll see much more direct advertising and a major price reset. A lot of ad-driven products will fold or reposition based on more realistic valuation.
The problem isn’t that people feel compelled to shill for advertisers the problem is that people need to make a living. The quality of their content has nothing to do whether they pursue it professionally or not.

Sure. It's worth pointing out this discrepancy even if they didn't mean to imply it, because not everybody knows that this is the case.
How many VPN sponsor segments will it take before you subscribe to one?
I concur. Good, ethical breeders will track COI (coefficient of inbreeding), pull any breeding dames/sires that show issues themselves or in their offspring, mix up the germ lines, and even go so far as to get mail-order sperm from around the world. Good purebred breeding is going to produce a healthier dog on average than your random mutt, which could have great hybrid vigor, or all manner of weird issues.
Not an issue if you buy unbranded, although I don't think there is anything special about "Duracell" batteries in terms of construction or quality control.
I know it's a different and likely improved design, but the claim is "the first major innovation to the internal combustion engine in over 100 years". It would be odd if they didn't consider the Wankel itself a major innovation. The Wankel engine is 65 years old.

Good for them. Heat pumps obviate the need for gas heating, and gas stoves aren’t worth the trouble with induction posing a reasonable alternative.
i haven't used git range-diff but when local master is behind origin/master and I am trying to diff, I use a `git changes` .gitconfig alias:

changes = !git diff $(git merge-base HEAD \"$REVIEW_BASE\")

Typically, that's:

git diff $(git merge-base HEAD origin/master)
but doesn't the cost scale roughly proportional with population and potential customers?

I would imagine relative pitch is more useful/practiced? I was a musician in a rock band for many years (you never heard of) and I have relative pitch. I started in orchestra on the cello at age 7. Banged on drums during middle school. Picked up guitar in high school and formed a band. I can identify chords and I can tell you what note if I have another note as a reference (like you do with your voice).

Just got it in my head after wondering the same. So we have some prefix of the list we don't care about (_) appended (++) to a variable ($p) consed before p + 2 (#(p + 2)) consed before a suffix we don't care about (_), then produce the pair (p, p + 2) for each match.

This is true on earth as well, though proportionately less so we don’t notice it as much. But for example the level of the sea is different at different places (I believe the general sea level of the pacific is 2 m higher than that of the Atlantic).

Wait, what?
If all members of a group chat use iMessage the experience is relatively smooth and modern. When at least one member is not using iMessage the entire group chat falls back to MMS. Photos and videos sent over MMS are heavily re-compressed. There's no encryption or read receipts. iMessage only features like stickers don't work. There's still various MMS interoperability glitches like out of order delivery, emoji turning into :1234:, and failed delivery.

When the smartphone era began cellular carriers required customers to buy both data and SMS/MMS components of their service plan. iMessage let iPhone customers save on the SMS/MMS tariff portion of their cellphone plan. [1] Eventually carriers reacted to protect their revenue by simply bundling unlimited SMS/MMS and calling into a new higher base plan price. That killed motivation for Americans to adopt a free alternative like Whatsapp unlike the rest of the world. The messages app on iOS mostly abstracts away whether a message is delivered over the Internet or legacy MMS, except for this blue/green color.

Apple considers iMessage popularity an important vendor lock in moat. Carriers don't have any motivation to deploy RCS as it won't yield any more revenue, and especially since Apple won't. Customers strongly refer free messaging over paid and take the path of least resistance. People generally just pick the lowest common denominator communication channel instead of burning time and social capital getting their friends and acquaintances to install Signal, Whatsapp, etc.

Message fragmentation is also not helped by Google's constant re-branding and product cancellations. In markets where non-smartphone owners cannot be ignored, the lowest common denominator is still SMS or email.

My choir director finds it easier to transpose organ pieces on the fly than "set the organ to a different key" and just play the keys as written for that reason: There's too much dissonance between what his fingers know they're playing and what his ears are hearing.

He was one of those little kids who had absolute pitch from the start, though, and he definitely views it as a two-edged sword!

The one program truly blew my mind at the time was Netrek - the first networked multi-player realtime graphical space fighting game. I've wasted so much time late into the nights playing the game in the lab instead of doing coursework.

"Called it quits, and then the USA moved the goalposts"

For an informal international pissing match, you're assuming some pretty formal rules. The point was nearly entirely to show off how much more impressive one country was over another. The USSR was winning until they weren't, sure, but then the USA started winning until the USSR literally died.
> no, I genuinely do not notice any noise in my vision even if I really concentrate, except possibly a little at night time. I think for most people, the noise is filtered out by the brain, but that's perceptively equivalent to a total absence, which is what I experience.

That's... really weird. For me it's everywhere all the time, especially in darkness. I filter it out... subconsciously, or something? but not perceptually. It never distracts and never obstructs but it's never just genuinely missing.

Could be caused by being autistic, I know autistic brains can be bad at filtering out stimuli.

> There other effects like persistence of vision - staring at anything for a long time will create strange visual artefacts but I don't think that's what you're referring to.

That's indeed not what I was referring to, but I do also get this.

If I stare at something even for as short as 10 seconds, and close my eyes, some "impression" of it will stick for a few seconds. Usually just the edges or vague layout of it, and faint enough that I don't notice it unless I try to trigger it on purpose, but it's there.

And if I stay perfectly still for long enough, everything will fade to grey until I move my eyes again.

But both of these have no effects on the noise.

How about not, unless there is a reason why it is not possible to do multiple things in parallel?
"moved the goalposts and crossed them" seems like an unusual way to describe an enterprise (yes, this is a deliberate Star Trek pun) that provides an endless supply of next steps, or "new goalposts" if you prefer. There's no milestone you reach and gain the ability to declare the game over, or at least not one we've identified yet. The fact that the Soviet Union was first with some early steps is a pretty big credit to them, the fact that they were overtaken later on by the US is a point in the Americans' favor.
If I look to Europe I see induction stoves competitive in price and features to regular electric stoves. In the us they are only on a few high end stoves and not competitively prices. There are a lot of options you might look for in a stove that you cannot get if you also want induction.

By stove I mean the cooktop and oven in one package. That is what my house needs so I haven't looked at the other options.

The confusion here is that "tylenol" in the US basically means just Acetaminophen - technically tylenol 3s have opiods, but most americans know tylenol as the over the counter tylenols, which are just acetaminophen.

In other places tylenol must mean what we think of as tylenol 3
> What's wrong with that?

My question is, why is that necessary? Exactly what is the benefit, except for a tiny bit of convenience? Why is that better than functions that work on well-defined types? It adds coupling, and coupling adds complexity, so if I'm adding complexity, I want to know why it's better before I add it.

> And why are you pinning the blame on a whole paradigm from a problem caused by how a feature was implemented in a language renowned for being fundamentally broken

I think calling the JavaScript/TypeScript of today fundamentally broken is clearly untrue. But anyway, I'm not condemning OOP entirely because of this one feature in one language. I thought my comment made clear that I see this as just another in a long line of complexity I've seen that's caused by this unnecessary coupling of data and behavior.

When I think of the OOP paradigm, I really think of Java, which I would call more fundamentally broken than JavaScript. It's improved over the years by pulling in ideas like lambdas that loosen the straightjacket imposed by its broken interpretation of OOP. Half of the revered "design patterns" that we're supposed to learn for OOP are just to work around this coupling when it's getting in the way. Patterns, even if they're repeatable, are complexity. Have you implemented the Visitor Pattern [0] lately? I did it once and I will never do it again. That kind of stuff ties my brain in knots. If you like pointless puzzles, maybe it's fun, but for me it's just more and more complexity. When I just work with data and functions, most things become much simpler.
