They do have lots of experience porting Windows to multiple platforms. They don't have very good experience managing the user experience of Windows transitioning between platforms.

I was one of the early adopters of Windows on ARM, the Windows 10 native port to ARM64 (ARMv8). At release, practically the only native development tool was WinDbg -- neither Visual Studio nor Windows Performance Analyzer had been ported. You could install Visual Studio in x86 emulation mode but it wouldn't run reliably as the toolchain would keep throwing heap errors, so cross-compilation was required and debugging was harder. There was basically zero information about what was and wasn't supported -- you'd just start porting and run into something like there being no OpenGL acceleration support. Or even more fun, that there was no ARM64 version of the Visual C++ Redistributable published, so you couldn't distribute a program that was dynamically linked to the CRT -- and the Visual Studio support staff didn't even know what ARM64 was and pointed to the x64 redist. This didn't start getting ironed out until around three months after Windows on ARM machines had started shipping.

And assuming you got past these problems, Windows has no universal binary system, so it's your job to figure out how to properly get the right platform executable installed and launched without any support from the OS. This was really bad in the early days of x64, where XP would just say "invalid executable" when trying to launch a x64 program on x86; these days it displays a slightly less cryptic "Machine Type Mismatch" error dialog with no further help.

Microsoft is trying to fix these problems now, but they're years late and the amount of software available as native ARM64 is still very low. Oh, and they already dropped support for the early gen Snapdragon 835 and 850 devices in Windows 11, which means no x64 emulation or ARM64EC support, and an even tinier effective market. In contrast, Apple managed the ARM transition much, much better -- they had native tooling, documentation, and development systems lined up in advance and a much more polished user experience on day one.
Problem because it's not supported or problem due to fraud prevention by amex? I've travelled a lot and never had issues with amex or chase (once I used my chase credit card for the first time in over a year on the opposite side of the world and the transaction was instantly approved).

I wasn't familiar with the Australian "Milk Wars", and went down a bit of a rabbit hole. This $1/liter pricing appears to have started on Australia Day in 2011, and continued until 2019.

But in this summary [1] of the report that Australia's competition regulator released in 2018 we can see that the price/liter that farmers were getting during this period doesn't seem to have been affected by the $1/liter pricing.

The ACCC found (quoting [1]): "no direct relationship between retail private label milk prices and farmgate prices", and that neither the rate at which farms closed down, or their profitability was affected by the $1/liter milk.

thanks -- I was under the initial impression that you intended jeeves as a "pythonic make". make isn't a command runner at all. Indeed, it relies on sh for that. It determines the DAG required to bring components up to date wrt dependencies. For example, you may have a postscript file and a pdf. Edit the postscript and you want the pdf regenerated:

my.pdf: my.ps

<tab> command to convert my.pdf to my.ps

Make makes no attempt to generate scripts, or anything like that. In general, make uses file timestamps to determine that my.pdf is out of date with respect to my.ps Make does have default commands that it can use. For example, it knows that executable w can be generated from w.c If I have a directory that contains w.c I can:

make w

cc w.c -o w

Now, because w exists, and is newer than w.c doing make w again does nothing!

make w

make: 'w' is up to date

I don't think that is what jeeves is?
I guess it just comes down to how serious one thinks actions taken during 2020 and 2021 were.

Its definitely not a topic I think about often, but when it comes up I'm reminded of the mass hysteria we watched play out and the governmental overreach that sets dangerous precedents for future pandemics or public health concerns.
Better for X. Maybe. In the short term.
Bitcoin is ever innovating in ways that are safe and transparent, see Taproot that was added fairly recently. Other crypto has proven to be at best run by incompetent folks, at worst straight up scams. Either way you lose with them. Sorry, but that's what the years have taught us.
> because they tended to break the rules more often.

No, this is a lie. The rules were applied in a very one-sided manner. A left-leaning poster would not even get a warning, while a right-leaning one would get insta-banned forever for the smallest infraction.
Do animals have a sense of time in the same sense we do?
I don't think that's a stupid question.

It's useful to read philosophy as we're exposed to the thought process of that specific author/philosopher. A lot of times, the conclusion you arrive at is influenced heavily by the lens through which you view the presuppositions.

It's useful to be exposed to different viewpoints and conclusions. You often read something that gives you pause, and you think, "I never thought of it that way."
Actually most of these companies don't offer any 3P API access - or even better only to a few selected partners.

Not one you mentioned but Airbnb is a prime example where folks want to automate things but nothing is accessible to hosts, guests or small scale developers trying to build something. Very frustrating but if you're not happy, use one of the services they partnered with or use something else (oh wait they already got rid of all the competition)
This idea is brilliant. Cars are inefficient means of transit in dense urban areas. Mass transit easily has many multiples if not an order of magnitude greater ability to move more people/hr than autos. Our cities used to be structured around mass transit and walking before the advent of the car and the exodus to the suburbs. In the intervening century technology has rapidly progressed such that cities are no longer dirty, squalid environments, and in fact, places like NYC have the highest life expectancies in the nation. It’s time to return to proven solutions like street cars, or nowadays, Bus Rapid Transit.
Your comment emphasizes that you don't empathize with typos.

I worked in a place that had several apple trees in the parking lot that led to a similar issue. The apples would ferment then drunk squirrels would chase people around sometimes. It was pretty funny unless it happened to you
There's a difference between relinquishing and selling.
Yeah, definitely for small devices. For things like VS Code's configuration file format (the parent comment) or other such use cases, I don't see a problem
> not an instance of disrespecting any Chase employee either on phone or in person.

Since when is this grounds for closing an account?
Nope. LLMs are marginally helpful. Often to be LLM worthy a problem has to be pretty desperate because of the high chance of getting a wrong answer. That said as a search engine Phind has been useful. I find it more useful than a LLM alone. But we are talking a 1% saving in time as most problems are better served reading the docs.
> I don't think most of those things you just told us actually happened

Believe whatever you need to. But consider this:

People are fundamentally selfish. Building a system that assumes general altruistic behavior is not going to work very well. Assuming people will not take advantage of rules for their personal benefit is naive.

Consider politicians. Have you ever noticed that people tend to go into Congress as middle class people and come out wealthy? How do you think that happens? Altruism?

How many people offered student loan forgiveness will say "no thanks, I borrowed the money, I'll pay it back!"?

The people I mentioned were not breaking the law. But they were taking advantage of it.
How's the SSH interoperability?

Transparent SSH interop is why I stick to Bash rather than moving to a Python solution.

At the registrar level: the .tk registrar was (in)famous for injecting both ads and random JS into websites that were hosted on domains registered against it.

At the ISP level: I had a Spanish ISP attempt SSL stripping on me a few weeks ago.

> Do you also have any reference to what exactly the collected data is useful for? I could see an ISP selling traffic data for a zip or area but they would already have that based on your billing address.

The goal is always more (and more precise) data points. Being able to run JS on the same origin as the request is more valuable than just the rough GeoIP data the ISP already has.

How often do train cars carrying fermented grain come through?

How many bears are actually hit in this manner? (there is just someone saying this is what happens, but no autopsy or anything)

I can’t imagine fermented grain leaks are all that common. I’ve been next to a lot of rail road tracks and never seen leaks. Imagine if you had a leak and it remained for 1000 or 2000 miles.

This story doesn’t make sense

Seems more reasonable a bear doesn’t know what a train is, has gone def or is asleep and just gets hit.
I share your sentiments about Python. This is useful in a Python project though.
Really? Wise has been reliable for a long time and they've improved the partners they work with in the last year to get much faster transfer times. I've sent around 15-20k usd with wise
I wouldn’t necessarily expect us to follow New Zealand’s example. We’ve accumulated a lot of methods for exchanging money without really discarding any in particular.

New Zealand is a small country way out in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean 2.5K miles (or over 4K kilometers) away from its nearest neighbor and with a population smaller than NYC. The United States is 50 stubborn ass States plus the Fed’s occupation in southern Maryland. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has an address in Wellington, is owned by the New Zealand government and answerable to Parliament. The Federal Reserve system isn’t even a single bank with a single board of directors, isn’t wholly owned by the US Government and isn’t directly answerable to Congress.

There’s no easy way to make a lazy comparison between us and have it be convincing. Parts of the Federal Government would likely love to see the United States become a cashless society but they don’t always get what they want.
Please explain. I keep hearing this meme, but the arguments don't make sense. For instance, people will say things like, "New World Order wants us all to use electric vehicles so they can limit our movement!" This is backwards, though, because electric cars can plug in anywhere, but gasoline stations are much more centralized and easy to regulate. If I were the Global Elite, I wouldn't want people producing power on their own rooftops, storing it in batteries, and driving around with it. Green technologies seem to lower costs and increase resilience for the average person. What am I missing?
Let's just grant you would come to the same conclusions eventually — people that specialised in thinking about metaphysics, ethics, epistemology etc. and spent years writing their arguments in (to a first approximation) well-reasoned prose, which was then subjected to the critiques of their colleagues that followed in subsequent generations who instead wrote their own arguments.. at the very least seems like a huge time saver.
I don’t know why you think it’s a question for the Supreme Court.

If you want to send tweets as @Microsoft after they leave the platform, you’re going to run into Trademark law among other issues.
I wouldn't expect many political or medical leaders to own the over reaction or simply fear they may very well have felt. I seriously hope they've learned something though, I really don't want to see us thrown through another run of lockdowns, closures, and in some places forced vaccinations because leaders didn't learn to keep a level head and understand the risks before claiming to be certain of what is happening and will happen in the future.
The parent comment glosses Kant's distinction between noumena and phenomena as between perceived reality and "underlying reality", and while that is a common way of putting it, I think it's not quite accurate, and leads to this kind of interpretation gone astray.

What Kant is saying is basically that categories like cause, and concepts like substance, are fundamentally bound up with the structure of our mind. We cannot "get outside" our own minds to know anything else, but there must be something beyond our perceptions, which Kant variously calls noumena, things-in-themselves, or transcendental object=X (there are minor differences between these notions that I cannot recall). Here IIRC his language kind of unfortunately but necessarily breaks down into metaphor. He can't quite say that the noumena are the source of phenomena since that would imply a causal relationship, and he's just argued that cause is a structure of the human mind.

Considering the "perspectives" you mention, e.g. that of the flat earther - a perspective is not a perception, nor is it a judgement, and it is these that Kant is primarily concerned with in the 1st critique. I'd say a perspective is more like an agglomeration of more or less (but not necessarily) coherent and self-reinforcing beliefs, attitudes and probably even non-propositional content like dispositions. Kant didn't have much to say specifically about that in any of his major writings that I can recall (maybe in the lectures on anthropology).

But his entire life work was devoted to how we can provide a solid foundation for claims of knowledge, morality, and aesthetics, so to say that "Nobody, ultimately, has any right to pronounce objective truths on anything" would quite a misinterpretation. You could argue "well but it isn't objective knowledge since the noumena are the real objects" but that would be begging the question against him, his whole argument is that concepts like "object" are part of the structure of our mind. Objective knowledge and the human mind go hand in hand.
> I think it does qualify as an industrial

Russia acknowledges BN-800 problems, doesn't want to deploy it, and postpones its successor (BN-1200) to 2035 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BN-1200_reactor ) while investing on a different architecture (indeed: way less explored) => BN is not industrial.

> It's right now the only commercial reactor that runs _completely_ on MOX.

True, however this 10% is quantitative, it isn't qualitative step forward (burning MOX is not new), and therefore not the giant leap as sometimes argued.

> CFR-600 in China will be the second commercial reactor capable of 100% MOX fuel operation some time next year

It is a demonstrator , and "will be". There is quite a road to an industrial version (only planned now, and named "CFR-1000"). The real objective here may not be some future industrial reactor but to efficiently obtain military-grade plutonium ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFR-600#Controversy ).

Impact of Ukraine invasion: sigh, indeed, and from this point I don't see any path towards relief.
I've been a part of a system like this (a financial system that happens to not be technically a bank). The system was constantly under attack by fraudsters: You could find subreddits with guides on how to try to outright rob us. So we had teams building detection systems that tied to detect said fraud as early as possible: Hopefully before we handed the fraudsters any money. Depending on how bad the score was, there might not even be a manual review step before we closed the account, because the numbers were that blatant.

As with any classification system though, 100% accuracy isn't going to happen. But there's always some customer service rep that can look at the details of the account, and see why in the world the system said what it did. But a detailed explanation of why we thought something was fraudulent could (and sometimes would!) just lead to another fun reddit post where someone describes how to hide the fraud a little better.

For any given system like this, how much harm is actually being done, vs how much is being prevented (as fraud just leads to raising prices to cover for it: financial companies are not charities)? I've read way too many CSR conversations where a blatant fraudster with world-class chutzpah would claim that we were destroying their family for no reason, when the data was damning. But this doesn't mean that everyone who isn't a fraudster really reaches out to the CSRs, and has the energy to prove there was no fraud. The actual levels of damage are just hard to measure.

We should have sensible, mandatory, available customer service access, which costs just enough to access to not be hammered by bots, but that is completely refunded in case of error. But what is really causing this is that many companies have lowered the barrier of interaction so much that we are letting a lot of fraud through the door. Remember how getting a merchant account in a real bank is a multi-day affair? How getting hired to become a delivery driver needed an interview, with a real person, and a manager checking between deliveries? The price of not having to interact with a human to sign in is fraud detection that isn't a boss you interact with every day, makes sure you are working, and is paid from the work you do. Companies with billions of customers and probably hundreds of millions of suppliers aren't exactly workable without automating a lot of those intermediate jobs away.

Maybe we made the wrong call across the board, and lower-productivity, but far higher trust commerce is the way to go... but a lot of that commerce is losing in the market, right now. So if we like it, we have to be willing to pay extra for it.
Of course we don't know your business; we do back-of-envelope math based on our own experiences and of course a lot of assumptions about yours. Those numbers are just... impressive... or unbelievable... depending on where you're coming from.

And the same way they will always be a place for amazing works of art (which this sort of craftsmanship absolutely qualifies as). Some people will always create crazy incredible things purely for the personal joy of having done it, and bonus points if it brings joy to others as well. ;~)
Prohibition-era USA was, if not failed, at least a failing society. There was by this point pretty widespread public corruption and general lack of respect for the law.

Anyway, wasn't the tax evasion also an actual crime? It's not like you get a pass on the tax evasion because you're also strongly suspected of committing much worse crimes, is it?

I like sh for brevity of its API. I often have to use `_tty_out=False`, but this is easy to fix once and for all commands in a script:

my_sh = sh.bake(_tty_out=False)
my_sh.do_whatever()

The way how sh captures output can apparently be altered, say, by providing a callable to _out argument.

Yep. One thing to note: NYC has attempted Bus Rapid Transit (we call it the "Select Bus Service") to mixed results: the SBS routes are popular, but are also frequently delayed (drivers regularly park and drive in the dedicated bus routes, and the police have no interest whatsoever in enforcing the dedicated rights of way).

Streetcars are significantly more expensive than BRT, but have at least two substantial advantages: they bring civic interest and investment (streetcar lines are semipermanent fixtures that real estate and communities can develop around), and they physically prevent the kind of petty infringement that personal drivers inflict upon bus riders.
Exactly. Lets say you and your neighbors each pay $100. You put in solar for $90, and save $10. Because most of the power grid costs are fixed, your neighbor is now has to pay $200 to pick up the slack.

This is why California is now considering grid connection taxes, which would charge homeowners for electricity they generate at home.

Capital One used to have a cafe near Boston Commons, although they accepted all card networks. I think it would be pretty neat if they opened coffee shops sponsored by CC companies that only accept their CC customers (e.g. coffee shops that only accept Visa or only accept Amex).
Yes, back before the rise of credit cards, restaurants used to be common targets for armed robberies - they'd always have a full till at closing time.
