I rarely meet a CS major who will accept that small things will always stay small. They will frequently talk you into more complex data structures with the assurance that you are just too stupid to realize your problem will suddenly need to scale several orders of magnitude. Do they teach you in CS-101 to interpret '+' as the exponential operator? It often feels that way.
The second one is better, because at least it offered "crapsules."
I guess that some developers requirements are orthogonal to those of citizen developers. For example version control could be a must have for us, but for others a layer of complexity that is just waiting to stand in the way of getting things done.

By "bigot," did you mean someone who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ?

Short of someone having fully reverse-engineered iMessage I didn't see it any other way given the way it operates (e.g messages in browser).

Their piece about E2E seems especially misleading. I can see how it's "technically true" i.e it's E2E from their servers to the clients + iMessage being E2E itself, but consistent omission of what the E are sounds designed to mislead into thinking that it's device to device. The consequence of a hosted server being pwnd would be catastrophic, essentially meaning full access to the iCloud account.

One of the unspoken underpinnings of iMessage not being available on Android is that the endpoint (the phone) might not be secure, so iMessage had a sort of guarantee that its E2E wasn't compromised via that endpoint. Now I wish Apple would just get an iMessage app on Android out of the door.

I also don't see how they plan to have this be free forever (and what the business model is), especially given the costs associated with hosted Macs.
> The hammer appears to slow before impact

Human nervous system has a similar mechanism where limbs are slowed down just before the impact when striking something to prevent muscle over-extension and injury, high performance martial artists train against this so that full speed and force is available upon impact without any slowdowns.

Yeah, I'd be wary of using something other than git because if you hire a new graduate, there's a much higher chance that they'll have used Git (and most likely GitHub too) than that they've used Fossil. And most repositories outside your company that you ever need to interact with are most likely Git too.
You're in luck because this is already possible:

"Somewhat similar deals also happen with tv networks where they sign exclusive "distribution deals" with sports leagues and they share the money they get from tv commercials (the ads)."

Except the networks pay the leagues to broadcast games. With so-called "tech" companies, this is reversed. Google is paying Apple and Samsung so that no other search engine gets to be the pre-installed default.

Sports leagues do not pay TV networks in order to prevent other leagues from doing deals with the networks. But Google pays hardware manufacturers to be the pre-instaled default and exclude other search engines.
Is this a US specific thing? Why do people want to have their messages seen in blue bubbles so much? Why not just use another messaging app such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc?

Diesels are mostly cheaper to run because european governments artificially reduced the taxing on diesel comparative to gasoline as an help for the economy since most trucks were running diesel for the best low-end torque.

They tend to have a bit better economy but an higher price, so in the end it depends on how long you keep them and the difference is not that positive in countries that tax both fuel the same, like Switzerland.

I would be willing to bet any amount that at least one person unironically loves Gigli. Art is subjective, that's the whole point.
I’ve tried Fossil a number of times, but several oddly-rigid aspects always manage to turn me off. Take, for example, the integrated bug tracker, which is novel and a big draw for me. Say I write up a bug and then notice an error in the description… I can’t edit it! I can merely append more comments, which also can't be edited or removed. The recommendation I found was that I should close (there's no delete!) the bug and create a new one. What’s the point of that level of immutability? I can tolerate the purity for the source code (e.g., the whole no rebase position they've taken), but for project metadata, I need way more freedom.

It’s a cool app that I’d love to use, but there are a few showstopper oddities.

>Literally nothing about autonomous vehicles stops cities from improving public transit

Kind of. I just switched from senior software engineer to junior data engineer. I did it because this position is work from home and honestly all JavaScript positions at this point are junior positions.

90% of JavaScript jobs now are really React positions or Angular plus Java positions. If you need React/Angular and spend all your time over-engineering how to put text on screen and at this point cannot figure out Node you are a supremely overpaid junior. After working with overpaid juniors at the last job and getting laid off from it, it feels like a broken house of cards ready to fold at any time.

So, after refusing to go back to work in that line of work for 5 months a recruiter for this data science job found me and I super easily qualified. There was no leet code nonsense. This current project uses a low code enterprise suite for data science and service delivery and starts with up to 6 weeks training to certify in the platform.
Ah. It was an appeal to people to stop naming everything after Turing because the UK went a bit Turing mad for a while.
The pushing-ifs-up assumes you are using a language where objects aren't nullable. This doesn't apply to most languages. Otherwise we would just get a potential null pointer exception when we don't check for null inside the function.
> No prehistoric levitation of massive stones.

Throughout history, there's always been wrong-yet-standard "scientific" statements that have been later corrected, from Aristotle's laws of motion, to discussions about the shape of the Earth, going through the so-called impossibility of heavier-than-air flight, the (im)possibility of perpetual machines, etc.

Of course, I'm not suggesting levitation of massive stones either, but I think history encourages prudence.

I would dearly enjoy to read a list of undisputed facts, agreed on by all parties, clearly separated from a list of all interpretations, and an evaluation of their consistency, instead of sensationalized/ridiculed "fringe" theories.

Yeah, but then again, people will argue that in theory a virus infection could cause a co-infection with bacteria. That's the line I often hear when people justify taking antibiotics for a cold.

It's probably true for some rare cases, though on average very likely doing more harm than good.
While it technically is interaction, I'd argue it's very different than what's going on in cities.

As always, YMMV, but oftentimes, interaction is forced on you in cities and you can't get away from it.

You talk about being alone in your apartment. Many people don't have that luxury. Even though they "live alone", "interaction" is forced on them thanks to paper-thin walls and their neighbors going about their business – no need for them be obnoxious.

I'd argue not being able to get away from the unwanted noise, ever, is what drives people in cities mad.
But it is not talking.

fn async means that by looking at the first token, we already know we are parsing a fn.

"It seems" is usually not true. Sure, nuclear is regulated. As are all other forms of electricity generation. As usual, regulation is written in blood, or in the case of nuclear three figure billions of clean-up costs after Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Regulation, I might remind you, that was written by staunchly pro-nuclear organizations.

Also, just necause you have regulations doesn't mean you don't have a free market. Hence, there is a free market for nuclear electricity. Thing is, nobody wants to finance new projects (with the exception of developing countries, but those have a lot of catching up to do).

One cost nuclear power plants do not have to carry is insurance against large accidents. No insurance comoany would take on said risk, hence the state is carrying that risk. Soubds to me like a huge cost factor is taken off from nuclear power plant operators here (just to pick one example).

As said elsewhere, I'm all for keeping existing NPPs running as long as safely possible (which was the reason Germany had to shut down a couple), and shut down coal plants instead. Building new NPPs takes too long to be a viable solution, and is too expensive (and hence the lack of fubding for new ones).

People like to hate Git, but I guess that's because everyone uses it. I'm using Git, mostly with Idea UI, but sometimes with CLI and it's absolutely fine for me. I understand how Git works (the whole concept of commits, parents and so on), I follow some sane rules to prevent commit graph from turning to spaghetti and I never have any issues, it just works for me, 100% reliably.
Your ethics are leading you to believe this. For other people it doesn’t make sense at all that a computer program should have rights. It makes even less sense to people who know what a computer program is.
1994 Toyota pickup with a Om617 swap. I bought a kit for the engine swap then did all the work to swap it.

I did nothing to handle the oil. It just works. You pour it in the tank and go. However, it doesn't work in the winter without a heater or additives.

It's not more common because a) mechanic diesels are old technology and means you'll be driving an old vehicle. b) WVO is a hit or miss in your area. Lots of restaurants will get paid for their old oil by recycling centers so most wont give it away. c) processing it is tough until you get a system in place

As well you can run on so many different fluids. Waste motor oil, waste transmission fluid, brake fluid, etc.

I ran my 1999 Nissan Primera 2.0 turbo diesel on virgin vegtable oil for a couple of years (I had about 400L in the back when taking the channel ferry to to drive around Europe). It cost 0.40p/l instead of 1.20/l in the UK. Bought it from a farmer from an ad on eBay. No modification needed, but you need to have a couple of fuel filters and a tool to change it handy, in case you have a blockage (more common when first starting to run on oil). In winter add 5-10% petrol to keep the viscosity down. You can always add diesel to the tank without issue.

I think many 90s indirect-injection diesels can run vegtable oil without modification, but some ppl add a fuel heating system or a dual-fuel switchover system.

There were newspaper stories of ppl going into Tescos and filling their trollies with 5L bottles of vegtable oil, then going to the parking and filling their tanks. Later (virgin) vegetable oil became more expensive than diesel, used oil is a different story.

Bonus: when reversing, or at the lights with a breeze, you often notice an odour like fried chips. :)

It probably wasn't more common because it was some hassle with the fuel filters and potential damage to fuel pump (some are built better than others). The Nissan had a license-built Bosch design that was solid.
The problem is not having so much money available.

Such a big expense only makes sense for a company where spending that amount would bring hundreds of millions of $ of additional revenue.

I doubt that any of the companies that have already spent such amounts have recovered even a small part of their expenses. It is more likely that they bet on future revenues, but it remains to be seen who will succeed to achieve that.
Watched that video. Very well done I’d say. But I think the point made in the video is that the one remotely consistent thing about the ear witness accounts was that very few heard shots from multiple locations.

heh, ok. I always assumed testicular cancer meant cancer in the testes, what I'm hearing you say is that it's a type of cancer that starts in the testes so it's considered testicular cancer regardless of where it's found.

that makes sense, thank you for the explanation.
To be somewhat pedantic systems is an init system, but under the umbrella project of systemd, you'll find bootloaders, DNS resolvers, log forwarders, DHCP clients, network configuration tools, login session managers, the whole lot. Almost all of these components are independent of the init system, but integrate very well with it.
In Poland at least, people were doing it - mostly rural in their tractors - but just straight using cooking oil for your trucks&tractors is illegal - too much pollution.

Of course SAF is cleaned up to different standards. Also, SAF is not just cooking oil, they use various kinds of tech.
Sanction Procedure Used by CNIL to Sanction Geolocation and Video Surveillance
"Among the 10 decisions, the CNIL has singled out the recuring topic of excessive and disproportionate employee monitoring and, more particularly:

* Geolocation of employee vehicles – The CNIL reminds that the continuous recording of geolocation data, without the possibility for employees to stop or suspend the system during break times, is, unless specifically justified, an excessive infringement of freedom of free movement and the right to privacy of employees.

* Video surveillance of employees – The CNIL reaffirms its position against continuous video surveillance of workstations, which is often disproportionate, even when used for purposes such as prevention of workplace accidents or evidence of business transactions."
Yeah, data-oriented design (DOD) always seems to get people riled up. I think it largely gets this type of reaction b/c DOD implies that many aspects of the dominant object-oriented approach are wrong.

> most line-of-business software needs to optimise for changeability and correctness, not performance.

It's a shame that so many see changeability and performance in opposition with each other. I've yet to find compelling evidence that such is the case.
People should put effort in how they convey the message.

If they don't put it, they don't care about you.

A manager who doesn't care how he conveys the message, (or doesn't care how the same message is received differently by his different reports), doesn't care about his reports.
The IDEs shouldn't complain if the function has a docstring (which all the MP functions should have as that's the instruction that is executed) and the @patch decorator, atleast the ones we have tried it with have liked the syntax in that sense so far.

I tried to use Fossil for personal projects but it didn’t work for me.

Idea is very appealing but in the end I found way too many distractions, especially in solo dev environment. I also agree that in group Git is standard so introducing something like Fossil might add needles friction.

But I still recommend checking it out. Some concepts are neat and might align with use cases that I don’t have.

Right now I’m experimenting with jj/jujutsu [1] and so far it works locally but I still hadn’t used the Git integration.

If you don't go off the well trodden path, git works perfectly well. It's only when you have some special thing you do that is snowflake where you hit issues or unintuitive commands.
I appreciate your point and I agree the outrage of "do not take away my truck" would cause whiplash, even if it is unnecessarily large and and wasteful and unsafe.

But arguably the arms race of large trucks in the US, Canada, Australia, is largely a viral meme that advertisers have managed to instill with insane profit.

It is not a product of exercising freedom but a product of Marketing psyops capturing reptilian brain urges from consumers. Quite succesfully I might add.

For another perspective: It's been maybe 6 years of pretty consistent commandline usage, and I pretty much do not have to look up anything.

I usually do feature branches, so the operations Im talking about are push/pull, commit, merge, rebase, bisect, and cherry-pick. They each have a few flags, and a few positional arguments.

Realistically, they dont have to be intuitive. You learn them once by going through a small book like the git book, and you wont really forget them if you use them regularly.

I recommend doing this.
In practice it's mostly that, but to a way lesser degree it's other kinds of tech - even direct CO2 capture (although that one is very expensive).
