The internet existed in the 90s so referencing Doom is not apt as it pertains to my statement that before the internet no one clamored for online gameplay. There was a market for PDAs at the time of Blackberry and no one was clamoring for something much better. And the market for small portable computers is now orders of magnitude larger after the iPhone than the market for PDAs was ever going to be with Blackberry type devices. No one clamored for a device without a keyboard.

There is a bit more to it than that. Yes, it was always possible to use a mess of build rules and shell scripts to make your debug and release builds swap between fully static and dynamic libraries, but it was a lot of work, and was difficult to maintain. The novelty of mergeable dylibs is that they now make it trivial to switch between the two without all of that work. In particular it solves two large problems people tended to run into:

1. Static archives and dynamic libraries have different semantics with respect to symbol lookup. In particular, due to two level namespaces multiple dylibs can exports the same symbol without it being a runtime collision since the binary importing them stores the library a symbol came from in addition to the name. This is different from static archives where you have sets of symbols brought in by .o file. That means it is often non-trivial to switch between dynamic libraries and static archives. Mergeable libraries solve this by allowing you to use the semantics of dynamic libraries and two level namespaces for content that will be statically linked.

2. Most people use frameworks, not raw dylibs. They do that for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one is to allow them to distribute non-code resources that are associated with the library. This is a common problem that has been solved in various ways (Windows embeds the resources in the DLL files, classic Mac OS depended on resource forks, etc). Mergeable dylibs are completely supported by the runtime in such a way that enough of the dylib's identity is preserved so that things like NSBundle continue to work as a way to find the bundles resources despite the code itself being merged.

Yes. It says exactly that.

Now, there are details that can change things either way. But the one thing about economics, that is known for about 3 centuries, is that usually arbitrary boundaries to commerce make people poorer. Usually, both on average and on the poor extreme. There is more variability of impact for rich people.
I settled on an adjustable-temperature/brightness standing lamp. I don’t know the model, sorry. Being able to change the color/brightness on a spectrum is very nice.

I've often seen TV series translations (both as subtitles and as scripts for later dubbing) done by handing over the text to be translated - without any access to the show itself. So the translator has zero context what is on the screen that they're talking about, for things similar to that Star Wars scene, the translator would have no way of telling whether that "light sabre" is bright or lightweight.

It is a good question, and I am not sure either.
My point is that CRI alone isn't sufficient. Nor is CCT (correlated color temperature). In practice, two bulbs with the same CRI and color temperature can have drastically different tints.

It all boils down to how these measurements work. In practice, the vast vast majority of LED bulbs do not even remotely come close to the color reproduction of halogen. Not to mention the flicker response to 60hz wall power.

There are a handful of companies that produce extremely color accurate LEDs but they're expensive and have limited lifespan.

The strategy here is that you have a real condition which isn't index-compatible, so to improve performance, you add on an extra condition which is index-compatible and is... in the ballpark of the condition you want, specifically containing your entire real desired result set, plus some spillover where it's not quite filtering tightly enough. The idea being that the broader condition that uses the index will get done first, then the slow row-scan will happen over a much smaller set of rows: same results but better performance.

But, because the index-compatible condition is too broad, you still need to have the "original" one to get the correct results. If your new, "redundant", condition gets the exact correct results then you're not doing this pattern, you're just replacing a query that can't use an index with one that can, and in that case sure, it doesn't make sense to keep the old one around.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about. You need to take curvature into account, and it blows up into infinity near the black hole singularity.

But I believe that this is purely an artifact of using classic mechanics for that.

The similar thing happened in classic electrodynamics with the "ultraviolet catastrophe". Basically, you measure how much radiation would be inside a box at a temperature T, and you get an infinite amount. So any closed box should become a source of unlimited power.

And for very similar reasons, there's no low limit on the wavelength, so there is an infinite number of wavelengths that can fit inside a box. And more importantly, each wavelength should still carry some power, so the total sum diverges if you try to integrate all of their contributions.

The fix was to assume that light can only exist in discrete wavelengths, thus setting the lower limit for the wavelength. The resulting total sum then converges, removing the paradox.
If you replace (in cyrillic script) viki[-pedia] to encyclo[-pedia] (because you can't do a whole word replace, since in inflectional languages like Russian every word has many forms with different endings, so you must replace the beginnings of these words to catch all the inflected wordforms) then vikings become encyclongs.
Well, my take here is that English language should be renamed to "American", and Brits should be forbidden to speak it, because they make it sound ridiculous.

Honestly, speaking as a foreigner, who has been learning English one way or another for half of his life, I cannot even attempt to speak in British accent without feeling like I'm doing a stand-up comedy. How can Brits speak with a straight face?

> According to the article, the non-camera sensors are in the $1000’s per car range.... I’m guessing camera systems will be the safest economically-viable option, at least until the compute price drops to under a few hundred dollars.

Human life is worth about $10 million (in US), that's a bit more than the sensor does. If one in 10,000 of camera-only car causes deaths, then it's not economically viable.

A London bus costs about $300,000, it is economically viable. Why is $1,000 sensor a problem. It is definitely viable to be installed on busses and trucks. Maybe you need to get out of the mindset of personal cars. It is not a viable business model, and it is not a viable model of dealing with congestion either.

There was an article posted here earlier this year[1] that pointed out the flaws in modern LEDs, and just how hard it is to get one that matches the color you want.

Because as a customer you should have the choice to get a repair from whoever you want. Even if you only go to Apple, competition will force their prices down somewhat.

"pay the Apple"

It's not just Apple doing this

"then spend lots of extra time trying to save $50 on a repair."

What if you're trying to save precious data? Apple don't make much effort to do data recovery because they don't care; you can fund 3rd party repairers who absolutely do. What if you got the device second hand? What if it's not $50, but $1000+? I've seen a video where Apple tells a journalist they have to buy a new Mac, and a 3rd party repair shop fixes it for free because it was such a small issue that Apple didn't even check for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2_SZ4tfLns

"Macs are all identical, so repairs boil down"

This is the problem; Apple is pairing parts to devices, so if you use a 100% genuine part from a new device it still won't work
Sounds like you're looking for a color temperature even lower than 2700 which is usually the low end for standard bulbs. Two options that might work for you are 'smart' color changing bulbs that you can set to much warmer and dimmer values OR 'vintage' or amber glass bulbs, typically in a narrower bulb shape and sometimes with a smaller base (adapters are available).

There is no contradiction between the statements “global warming is a serious problem” and “preventing wildfires completely has some disadvantages vs. controlled burns”.
The problem is that Canada is covered in peatlands. Once they dry out, controlled burns can ignite peat several meters deep and release one of the biggest carbon stores on the planet.

See what happened with the Russian wildfires in 2010 [1] - this is a consequence of climate change and unfortunately many of the old fire prevention strategies won't work with Canadian peatland drying out.

The creation of the civil service in the US wasn’t about efficiency, but corruption.

James Garfield’s assassination was over his refusal to give a patronage job. That lead to a backlash against patronage in general.

Jobs as patronage continued at the lower level for a long time. In many states, the most powerful political official was the Postmaster General because he controlled the jobs.

At the federal level it still continues in various forms: appointments to military academies require congressional sponsorship, Supreme Court justices hand out clerkships based on ideology, etc.

When people talk about the civil services reforms being inspired by efficiency, they usually are talking about the British civil service (Northcoat-Trevelian report) or Chinese civil service.

But those are very different things than the American civil service.

America never really had a civilian civil service in the “Yes, Minister” sense of the phrase.
