> Buses and trains were already obsoleted by cars and can only survive by targeted anti-car policy

Where? In France most people would take the train to travel a long distance (2h+ drive). I can be in Paris in 2 hours at 320km/h using the high-speed train whereas it would take me 6 hours at 130km/h using a car. Not counting the nightmare of going through the Parisian périphérique.
if your async task performs a raw read it also will block. In the coroutine case you of course need to call a read wrapper that allows for user mode scheduling. That can literally be the same function you use for async. Coroutines also allow library interposition tricks that transparently swap a blocking read with one that returns control to the event loop, so in principle existing blocking code need not change. Libpth did something like that for example. YMMV.
Based on current trends, probably closer to 2024/25 for the global 50% mark.

There's even a middle ground where we don't have to agree with everything our employer does but also they don't get all whiny when we tweet about it.
That's at least a comfort that they finally implemented that, I haven't used Snap in the past year, so I missed that.
According to the documentation services can be enabled and disabled. They can also be started but not enabled to automatically start.

Yeah, I'd actually be in favour of an open market. I bet companies would get on with switching to IPv6 a lot quicker if they could make a quick buck by selling their IPv4 addresses.
Google results are becoming less trusted (2022)
For example your website (https://embedai.thesamur.ai/) uses Google Login, Google Fonts, Google Tagmanager, Google Analytics and translate.googleapis.com. I'd assume Google will all user data for maximum profit. For each service there are free and self-hostable alternatives.
Generally compensation here tracks those companies.

Both excellent points. I really should have highlighted this:

> What really killed Unix on workstations was NT, and it killed it when the first sgi NT workstations shipped.

'Cos it sure as anything wasn't Windows 9x that persuaded businesses that Windows was a legitimate OS.
It seems like it was only introduced in December, so I can see why they haven't made it the default. It would be rather surprising to have run a Snap package for the past six years and then suddenly have it stop updating.
unfortunately, the same for me. I would really like to spin up some lxd container on fedora but not with snap.
> Current public transport is like transport belts in Factorio. Fixed routes. This works ok in a simple old-fashioned economy (a few large employers, large hubs where everyone goes to the same place).

It works just fine in new-fashioned economies as well because good public transit is made of networks and criss cross.

As an example, even in the middle of the night, the majority of Toronto's population has public transit available just a short walk away:

> Then in 2005, several routes were added so that east–west service would run on every grid street instead of alternate ones in much of the city. This has brought the Blue Night Network up to a total of 24 routes, serving 97% of the city's population within a 15-minute walk.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Night_Network

Stumble out of a bar at 3 AM? You can take the bus/streetcar home.

During the day the network is much more extensive, with more routes operating, so most people probably have to walk <10 minutes to get to a route (some routes though having more frequent service than others).
To be completely fair, Paris is an exception. France is an unbelievably centralised country, and everything goes to Paris. Bordeaux is similarly well served, but past that... Good luck in the southeast and its broken 80km/h lines, good luck in the southwest and its complete lack of lines... Hell, even Lyon takes a very long time to get to if you're not coming from Paris.

Well deserved! Demos are a marvel of art and engineering, and their authors are wizards, AFAIC.

I've always been amazed at the sheer skill and creativity of the programmers in this subculture, to the point where I consider them to be in an entirely different league from the "regular" programmer building web, desktop, mobile and enterprise apps using some high-level language, of which I'm humbly a part of. Demo programmers can seemingly control electrons at their will, and mostly do so for fun and pleasure, whereas we work with layers and layers of abstractions and mostly for compensation. I'm not saying that the world doesn't need both, just that one is more aligned to that child-like curiosity and wonder at making lights blink, taken to an extreme level, which is IMO a purer reason to love computers.

Looks like the opposition's stance is even worse.

Labour's Lucy Powell:

“The weakened bill will give abusers a licence to troll, and the business models of big tech will give these trolls a platform.”

So the Labour government will get to decide who's a "troll," and whether they're de-platformed AKA cancelled.

Likewise Labour's desire to curb "legal but harmful" speech means that Labour will get to decide, on an ongoing basis, which speech is "harmful." It won't be defined in law, so the definition will be completely subjective, and ripe for corruption and chilling suppression of innocent people.
FOSS users are accustomed to having choices.

How many Linux distros can you try out?

How many different desktop environments / window managers can you choose from?

Which text editor do you want to use?

How customizable is your text editor?

If you are accustomed to having choices, but then you suddenly do not, is that entitlement?

And the Super Heavy will never go to Mars. Starship might. But how it launches from Mars is entirely speculation. For something like Starship to launch you need plenty of pad infrastructure anyway: fueling, chilling, etc.. If you can build that you can build a diverter no problem.

Also on Mars you need to dig anyway to create any kind of habitable environment due to radiation and you have no issues digging caused by the water table. So digging a diverter on Mars might even be easier then digging one at Boca Chica.
It's an interesting idea, but I think it actually parallels a lot of problems of residential solar.

How much are you paying for someone hosting? If you're paying them the same as your costs (high), then why not just pay for more servers which will be more reliable? Especially because of the difference between how much bandwidth during peak demand hours, which is probably going to be when there are the most devices on battery, and when you'll need the most servers anyways. The same way peak electricity demand in some areas is after peak solar.

So even if you do 1:1 view time credits, now you're losing money if they upload at night, and watch that same amount during peak hours. Probably what most people are doing. This is what happened with California new solar NEM3 plan that changed the export rates from 1:1. You only get something like 20% credit for the power you're putting in. So can you pay hosters enough to want to host, but not enough that you're better off paying for your own servers?

This doesn't even go into storage costs yet.

There's a cryptocurrency for P2P storage and transfer, Storj. Looks like they even have an S3 compatible gateway, but they don't look that much cheaper than object storage on DigitalOcean or CloudFlare.
No global rollout either. I can’t download the app from the App Store as it is not available in my country.
I suppose in the interest of steelmanning your argument, it seems to me there’s a number of NASA deaths you’re omitting.

Challenger and Columbia each had seven crew members. Apollo I had three. Then there were a number of astronaut candidates who were killed in the line of duty and probably should be counted in your death toll.

On the other hand, how many manned missions has NASA launched, and how many has SpaceX done to date? Gotta guess there’s an order of magnitude difference there.

Actually it is mostly just population growth + inflation - which is almost always positive.
I don't edit much text in the way people here would mostly imagine (like when your job predominantly is coding/terminal), I'm a GUI lover. What I hate the most, however, is switching windows (and turning head to look at another monitor feels just slightly better), also scrolling - I want everything I currently work with (+ a player window for a background vibe + two messengers) to be open side by side shown fully. Because as soon as I switch the context (like hiding a window to see another one full-screen) I often immediately forget what I was doing/thinking, like when you exit a room [1], this harms my productivity tremendously.

By the way, I once noticed that vertical stacking of 2 monitors feels much better for me that when I place them side by side horizontally. This is why a single big (big in both ways, also vertically) display works much better than fancy ultra-wide monitors for me.

Yes the thing is most people participating in the conversation just haven't worked on the problems these tools are useful for. They maybe are an engineer... but they don't touch frontend, so they don't know much beyond the basics. Or they're a CS student... but they made a personal blog with Jekyll, so of course they know everything about frontend dev. Or they work on internal LoB apps with user counts in the two digits and no UX requirements... but they've been doing it for years, so of course they know all about it. It crowds out the discussion with low information takes.
Right, but that diversification is into 5 or 10 companies. Risk management that you can find in various trading shops is a much more involved process than that.
I do not have a source for the generic example number.

If you want sources for government spending too much on things, those exist all over.

> Calling it bloat and inefficient because it takes more money per launch then another 100% experimental and unproven platform is incredibly myopic.

No, that's not what people are saying. The problem is that the main companies NASA contracts to are running in an extremely inefficient way and they get paid more when they waste money.

This is a problem that would exist even if SpaceX never became a company.

> That money employs engineers and scientists and generates demand for high specs engineering firms and supply chains. The bang for the buck is this impact on the economy, stimulating education, R&D etc.

The problem is the dollars that aren't going to engineering and R&D.

Dollars that just stimulate the economy are bloat when they're going to some big company out of a budget that's supposed to be doing things like exploring space. If you want to just send out dollars to stimulate the economy, send them out to people with low incomes and they'll have a much bigger impact.
The page has low contrast (3.5:1) and uses a fixed width font. Both are bad for legibility. The contrast is even too low to fulfill the WCAG minimum success criteria (4.5:1).

People wanted Communism in great many countries. Easily a couple dozen of them? It ended with terror or at least tyrany in every single case. It shows that communism is actually impossible to attain and will morph into tragedy every single time. It makes sense - introduction of communism requires a violent and radical revolution. People who are twisted enough to be willing to try that, the Robespierres and the Lenins, are actually tyrants at heart, and they will never let go of power once they attain it. This pattern has repeated over and over again through history.

>The data doesn't really exist yet though

It certainly does. The problem with that is the lies attached to it. Ask a big oil executive and a Tesla engineer for an EV life cycle analysis and they arrive at opposite conclusions. Big oil will declare most EVs 'charge dirty' and were never meant to last beyond 10 years. Tesla will conveniently leave out statistics on their early Model S cars. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Within climatology people like Roy Spencer or Judith Curry. Outside, there's stuff like these papers I posted a couple of days ago.

Note the response - yes they may be nuclear physicists or hydrologists but they can't possibly comment on climate, they're the wrong sort of scientists. Also they even say they have a good understanding of science and then define science as "what 99% of experts believe" which is just hilariously medieval.

These are just examples. I can't be bothered trying to draw up huge lists. Other people have done that, it doesn't matter, the crisis true believers just use a circular definition of expert in which if you disagree the world is doomed you can't be an expert, therefore, are not worth listening to.

One hope for future LLMs is that we could teach them to intervene when people believe stuff like this, providing the person with the appropriate remedial lessons before they post for everybody else to read.

Not just technical stuff like this, even broader nonsense like "Before vaccines diseases didn't exist" and "The world is actually flat" and so many of these things.

By getting the remedial class in first, from an impassionate machine, there's a chance we rescue them from some awful intellectual mistake they might otherwise feel emotionally committed to, and in some cases from a spiral into Conspiracy Theorist gloom in which the gap between nonsense they believe and observable reality is all explained by a vast all-encompassing Grand Conspiracy.

Anyway, no, you can't "just" do this. What's happened here is that you didn't really understand the problem, and then you've "solved" the problem you'd invented, not the actual problem, and surprise, the invented problem had an easy solution.

On the upside, you're a step ahead of the people who figure hey, just allow up to 999.999.999.999 for an IP address, that would fix it...

Part of the reason why Instagram reels have become so popular is probably because it's right there in the middle of the Instagram app.
