Wow, this is a really good point I haven’t thought of before.

And the thing is, it could work. Because that’s pretty much the main relative advantage consoles have over gaming PCs - extremely narrow range of hardware, which allows consoles squeeze out better performance than a gaming PC with comparable hardware specs (of course the PC will likely be cheaper, but that’s beside the point) on most games, because those games were extremely heavily optimized for that hardware.

MacOS, under that logic, would come through somewhere in-between those two extremes - less disparity than between two random PCs, but more disparity than between two models in a single given console generation.

Even funnier, I just realized that macOS major update support for any given mac is 6 years (and 10 for security updates iirc, but don’t quote me on that), which is about as many years as a single console generation lasts.
Installed it. Ran it. Generated. Slow for some reason. Deleted it. Looks similar to Pinokio, and that is opensource.

I perceive that part of the reason the west doesn't wade into the conflict in Ukraine (rightly or wrongly) is that there is a fear of the conflict escalating into a brawl between western nations and Russia (which is probably at least a near-peer to western militaries and nuclear armed). Venezuela is neither a near-peer military power nor nuclear armed as far as I understand, and their ability to hit back (again rightly or wrongly) against other regional powers, the US or whatever other western nations that might intervene (maybe Britain or France?) seems very limited, and thus Maduro's tactical and strategic position seems really different than Putin's.
I don't think "one line" should get associated with endless methods. I really love endless methods for any situation where the first statement in my method is also intended to be the return value.

It lets me avoid my most hated pattern, where you instantiate a thing with a temporary variable, do some stuff to it, and then return the instantiated object with a hanging call to the temporary variable. I've always found it very ugly and also fragile if the order of operations gets mixed up by later edits. This pattern:

def do_the_thing(with_me)
thing = MyThing.new
thing.do_something_that_does_not_return_self(with_me)
thing
end

I also love to use it to avoid "double ends" for methods consisting entirely of control-flow statements:

def do_the_thing(with_me)
case with_me
when rofl then ...
when lol then ...
when lmao then ...
else ...
end
end

With endless methods I would write these two examples as:

def do_the_thing(with_me) = MyThing.new.tap {
_1.do_something_that_doesnt_return_self(with_me)
}

def do_the_thing(with_me) = case with_me
when rofl then ...
when lol then ...
when lmao then ...
else ...
end
There is sufficient qty. of life on Earth to affect geophysics, cf. []. And actually has been for some time. When you see bands of iron in a geological record, it's because archaeobacteria were filling the ocean with oxygen and causing iron to oxidise. When there was no more room for dissolved oxygen in the sea, the excess took to the skies... the Great Oxygenation Event

I have suspicions that they must be paying for some of the press coverage, as well.
I think the same. It's also (IMHO) way more important to work in person together at a startup, where that agility has maximum application.
Now that, I can believe. Different denominator.

Agreed. Apple long ago learned that they could plant rumors rather than just be subject to them, and I'd bet Apple planted this one to cool the rumor mill on this topic since they know they're still several years away from shipping homegrown solutions.
Yet on the billionaire leaderboard the top-10 are: Musk, Arnault, Bezos, Ellison, Buffet, Gates, Zuckerberg, Balmer, Page, Bin.

Not one of them through inheritance. Sure, you have the waltons a little lower on the list.

As a person who started in the bottom decile of wealth I want to hate inheritance at least as much as the next person. But at first glance it sure doesn't look good for these "researchers".
I see the confusion now. Theory of mind is about recognizing the existence of other minds, not about being able to plumb the depths of one's own mind. If anyone had the latter skill, psychotherapy wouldn't need to exist and no one would ever have heard of Freud.
I also started to write a finite state machine for part 2 but found it too tedious to craft by hand. How did you do it?

I tried to do that, but there is no reliable statistical data for these kinds of errands.

So I did something else: dropped random points inside the cities and plotted routes between them using biking, transit, or cars. In every city I tested (even Berlin!), cars win. And often by 3-5 _times_.

It's understandable, transit is optimized towards traveling to a small number of destinations (typically Downtowns) and lateral travel is often hard.
It matters a lot.

Public confidence will be shaken more by an attempt to prevent the case being heard. If they win — assuming for all the right reasons — then it's a boost all around.

If they loose, then... well, you're right that it'll be a bad day for lots of people. But could anyone really argue it would have been better to not know? I'd be shocked if anyone did.

Drupal 6/7 was actually what led me to discover headless and JS :) After I learned it and built a few features & Features, I thought to myself, "Huh, okay, I see what they're getting at here... it's pretty powerful, just hard to use. Wonder if there's an easier way to do this..."

Turns out, absolutely yes! I guess there's a reason why headless and JS exploded. We migrated and never looked back.
I think with the "distinction without a difference" bit they meant that if you look like you have $2k instead of looking like you have $1m, what is the difference in your life than just having $2k?

The answer to that is: you have $1m of peace of mind to live your comfortable lifestyle of someone with $2k. Now living the lifestyle of someone woth $2k might not be particularly desirable to most, but living the life of a multi-millionaire with that relatively same level of peace of mind sounds like a crazy nice way to live.

150mi of range assumes nothing in it, no towing, etc. Not nearly enough. Also, that would assume the 52kWh of battery weighs the same. Maybe it does, but if it doesn’t then that may increase weight and decrease range.

Nobody wants 150mj range cars anymore because they suck for day to day use. 20-80% means you’re realistically getting 60% of that range usable. You better plug them in every single day otherwise you might have trouble.

I think the change is interesting. Perhaps the fact that there was a recent period in which this was not the case is more interesting.
I think you can use `visibility: hidden` or something like that.
In a way you are right, but all that stuff (Android, Parcelables, Android kernel) is garbage. Time to replace all of that with a proper formally proven stack. It's not that Apple or Google don't have the money to do that. They just don't have the will, knowledge and engineers for that.
>But there are no slaves or spices, and no gold or other metals at prices that make the economics even remotely sane.

Very much untrue, at least in part. The solar system, including the asteroids, moon and other bodies, is absolutely, insanely loaded with valuable minerals and materials to a degree that makes what the old colonial powers sought in the New World and Africa pale in comparison, it's just extremely difficult and expensive to reach, for now, so on the second part of your comment, you're correct.

However, it's worth noting that the technology for extraction absolutely would scale down in cost over time to the point of space mining being as routinely profitable and practical as mining on earth.

I don't like comparing space exploration to the fundamentally cruel and exploitative schemes of Earth's governments during the colonial periods but even they at first had to deal with high costs and little benefit, until they developed scale. Humanity could do the same thing beyond the earth, and without all the grotesque moral failures of destroying whole human cultures in the process.
You weren't lying.

> When Citibank based its credit card business in Sioux Falls, it could charge borrowers any interest rate it liked, and credit cards could become profitable. Thanks to Janklow, Citibank and other major companies came to South Dakota to dodge the restrictions imposed by the other 49 states. And so followed the explosion in consumer finance that has transformed the US and the world. Thanks to Janklow, South Dakota has a financial services industry, and the US has a trillion-dollar credit card debt.

> Fresh from having freed wealthy corporations from onerous regulations, Janklow looked around for a way to free wealthy individuals too, and thus came to the decision that would eventually turn South Dakota into a Switzerland for the 21st century. He decided to deregulate trusts.

Many people in these fields agree my conclusions are invalid. I say the same about theirs.
If you look at it from a design perspective (blame the design, not the humans, for errors), it shouldn't be so easy to mix up the two ports.
0 taxation on assets or income and it's available to people living outside of the state.

So rich people can avoid paying taxes.
It's an interesting model and in my opinion, provides a much better model for the 'fourth turning' pattern than the mechanism put forward by the authors. The predictable return on capital Picketty points to after all only happens during times of stability, during times of instability wealth disparities actually decrease. If too much concentration of wealth leads to crisis and crisis is a 'distributing' mechanism this is basically a self-correcting dynamic.
> the users we interacted with (that usually had no say in whether our solution was bought to them or our competitors') were happier and recommended to their managers (where they could) buying more stuff from us

And then the happy users switch to another company and start recommending your stuff to their new managers. It's an extra source of leads and sales :-)
Back in the 1950s tires went flat often, so a spare that you knew how to put on was a must. These days tire technology is much better and so getting a flat is rare kit does happen of course, but it is not very common. Many cars will go through their entire life without using the spare even once. Since a spare takes up a lot of space and weight, it makes sense to get rid of it if it isn't needed much. Tow trucks have always existed, just call one to fix the tire when you have issues.

I believe this was true throughout almost all history, and 20th century was a fluke where a lot of people lost what they could inherit, and other lots of people made their capital from hard work.
When will it be acknowledged that this corruption is a feature of academic institutional self-preservation not a bug? This is inherent to the process.
But the differences there are material - rent, food, utilities, these all function on a scale of thousands. Millions to billions? You don't need to care about any of those. You've very much left the mundane monetary worries behind.
> Nothing needs to be converted (except transportation and mining costs, and costs of running the fueling stations) for geologic hydrogen.

Nothing needs to be done except everything! This is never going to happen. People have electric already piped into their house. You are talking investments in the hundreds of billions of dollars vs virtually no investment at all.

This will never work.
It seems like you stopped after the first paragraph.
At the mentioned 25% higher density, probably no significant difference.
I work for a remote startup and no, the parent, is correct. The company was previously languishing until they replaced the tech lead and hired me. Both of us can get shit done without being told what to do every 5 minutes. The previous people couldn’t. We’ve since increased our customer base and service usage massively, without any issues.
If that's his strategy then Maduro's even dumber than I thought. Putin's got nukes. What the hell do these south american communists have?

It's hilarious. These communists are actually delusional. They actually think they can create some kind of south american soviet union here. All they've managed to do so far is throw our economies into the gutter. And now brazilian president Lula is "moving troops" and generally making moves that get us all further into this mess instead of away from it just because it's his communist friend Maduro's ass on the line? It's unreal. Imagine actually dying for this bullshit.

I should have specified that $25k is for a nicely optioned Chinese Buick, not a base level chevy that has a year+ waiting list where I am (Canada).

Bare bones 300 mile cars like the BYD Dolphin cost $16.9k.

They also have a model called the Seagull that is 250 mile at ~$11k. I would buy either of those in cash, today, if I could.

Venezuela’s (relatively sudden) refusal to honor its treaty obligations that admit the land is owned by Guyana is obviously due to oil greed.

Guyana has almost no military, but the Venezuelan military doesn’t really have any offensive capabilities that the US cant easily deter. The US actually appears to be a stabilizing force in this case; if the US committed to non-intervention, it would make sense for Venezuela to invade immediately.

As is, the strategic balance is not in favor of Venezuela attempting to annex the land by force.
I think though that most of the people on that list had their net worths decrease last year. To my understanding this article is pointing to a pretty short-term trend, though maybe an important one.
I agree with all that, but it's also significantly easier to build trust in an in-person environment where the employee can read the leader's body language and judge for themselves whether leaders authentically believe in the mission that they're having the employees execute, as well as their chances of success.

There's a reason why generals who lead from a desk aren't really trusted, or why when executives skip off to New Zealand it corrodes morale in their organizations.
That's a good question. Probably either RISC-V or ARM. MIPS is interesting, but I'm not sure that it has much of a future. OTOH, there's plenty of choice and availability of both ARM and RISC-V based computers to play around with. RISC-V is newer and probably still evolving more rapidly, so I guess you'd want to weigh whether you consider that a pro or a con.

For me personally, I have recently gotten really interested in RISC-V, so I lean that way a little bit. But that's more personal preference than anything concrete I can really cite.

> You have Apple Arcade with mobile-only games pretending they are fit for a big screen.

Full-blown Resident Evil Village is available on iOS with graphics that are very console-tier.

Not saying that this and a few other counterexamples somehow mean that their gaming strategy will succeed. But I wouldn’t say that including iOS in their gaming strategy would fail due to iOS hardware limiting them to mobile-tier current Apple Arcade type of games.
> But in terms of population, we're still far, far outnumbered.

Eh, no? No other species there comes even close to 8 billion individuals. If you add the individuals from all the other species, then yes, we're outnumbered. But that's an even more odd metric.

It's a bit like saying Smith is an unusual name since the Smiths are outnumbered by people with other names.
In the US a billion is 1,000 million, not one million million.
> "You plugged the modem cable into the laptop's network port."

That sounds like an "in your face" hero IT moment, but in reality the bank boss would still be angry. He'd blame IT for not telling him, or for mentioning it too quickly and not emphasizing it.

When IT is always mucking things up, there's no version of events where IT isn't the cause of a muck-up.
Also code is read way more times than it is written (or edited).

So the corollary, in terms of concepts from my college programming languages class, is:

reliability > readability > writability
> Why do you doubt working conditions are better?

Personal experience as well as talking to other devs. I will caveat my assertion, though, by acknowledging that different people prefer different working conditions.

When I say that working conditions as a dev are poor, it's mostly because of the requirement to work in cube farms (or, worse, in an open-office layout) where you're constantly having to struggle to get things done amid a sea of interruptions and distractions.

Apple also hasn’t fumbled with their platform unification nearly as much as Microsoft did with their attempts. It hasn’t been perfect, Catalyst most notably has warts, but it’s a far sight better than the situation with Windows was where the new platform (UWP and ancestors/cousins) were rebooted multiple times and perpetually half-baked. AppKit and UIKit are both solid, mature, and capable in ways that even a decade after Windows 8, Windows App SDK (what UWP became) isn’t.

The model needs four buckets:

20-30: Needs mentorship, can live closer to the office

30-40: Has young kids, moved to the burbs

40+ but IC: Could go either way

This is still HUGELY simplified, and please do not take offense if you are e.g. 30-40 without wanting kids. But "young kids" is just a huge difference in terms of the morning schedule and flexibility needs, especially as most families near urban areas have both parents working.
