After 10 years in Ruby, I moved onto Rust four years ago, and don't plan on really looking back. But with that said, I'm glad you love Ruby! There are certainly things to love.

Personally, I just can't do without a good type system anymore. I think Rust has spoiled me. I do miss Ruby's powerful reflection features though.

Vogtle 3 just came online in July, 17 years after the initial application was filed. Unit 4 hasn't come online yet. They're going to cost more than double the initial estimate.

I just don't get the fascination with a power source that is so much more expensive and slower to bring online.
It's definitely for websites or light apps only. There's a lot of mileage in that, though.
The seasonal problem is all about transmission lines and counterseasonal generation sources like (pumped?) hydro. There's no way you can store up a winter's worth of energy needs in batteries. Energy storage is the integral over time of power consumption, so time-shifting demand from January to July is about 750x more expensive than time-shifting it from 6 PM to noon.

Instead, we need to rely on the fact that it's not winter everywhere, at least to the same degree. My house has a similar seasonal profile to yours, but an industrial plant in the Mojave desert does not get shaded by hillsides, does not have atmospheric rivers come in, can move the panels to follow the sun's angle, is at a far more southern latitude, etc. And several generation technologies like hydro and wind actually produce more in the winter than the summer, because rainy and windy days benefit them.

This is probably the biggest argument I've seen for the continued existence of the grid. My home can run indefinitely on self-supplied energy during the summer, but I still need the grid to get through the winter.
> The outcome is considerably more time spent looking at the screen [...]

Quite the opposite. The wheel has discrete clicks while rotating so muscle memory becomes a thing. I've got half a dozen "workflows" memorized so I don't even need to look at the screen to do things like love a song, add it to my favorites, switch between apps, report an accident, etc.
It's a far less hostile position toward Ukraine, though.
No, because there may be other messages that are ignored, i.e. don't trigger a response message. Any such message can be used for injection. The details are implementation specific, though. The new strict-kex disallows all unexpected messages during the initial handshake, which helps a lot. (Even better would be to authenticate the complete handshake transcript). Another mitigation is resetting the sequence number. Both together give some redundancy.
I'm experimenting with it right now using Squitch [1] to make maintenance easier. It still feels like a hack and I also still have my doubts about the viability of this for real-world use. It's fun though and I'm learning about all kinds of advanced Postgres features.

> It’s more likely that compilers generate better autovectorised code with a goto, even though they’re semantically the same.

No, it's not. Most compiler IRs will work on a basic block representation, where the compiler will reduce all control flow to unconditional and conditional jumps. If they're not working on that level, then they likely have some form of structure control flow, where autovectorization will ignore gotos entirely because they're the definition of unstructured control flow, so they won't notice when the goto forms a loop that could be autovectorized.
> a case is a must

I haven't used a case on my iPhone for years. No issue at all. (Except that one time when I accidentally flung my phone into a concrete floor.)
If US ships were targeted the Houthis/Iran would aim to deplete interceptors.
That is a very silly way of viewing things. AI has already dramatically change logo creation and all sorts of image generation. The impact on design is already being felt and is going to rapidly increase.

The cost savings are immense.
Yep, shares are part of the comp package, it's entirely natural that employees want to turn the fruits of their labour into liquid cash at some point.

There is a valid argument that that's a perverse incentive, and that companies should just pay employees better to begin with, or have various longevity/performance-associated bonuses, but if the company isn't profitable, share value is perhaps the best way to represent that.

And on top of that, employee share schemes tend to get very favourable tax treatment. So overall "skin in the game" is no bad thing, the problem is that, in many/most cases, an exit is the only way you're going to get your skin back out of the game.
Standardized interviews or panels do not necessarily exist to find the best candidate. They exist as a tradeoff to ensure some measure of objectivity and prevent favoritism/influence/corruption/bribery/forgery/impersonation/unfair cheating by getting advance access to the test material; in such a way that this can then be verified, standardized, audited at higher levels or nationally. Even more important for medschool/nursing than engineering.

One of countless examples was the sale of 7600 fake nursing transcripts and diplomas in 2020/1 by three south Florida nursing schools [0]. (This happened in the middle of Covid, and at schools which were already being deaccredited.)

Buyers paid $10-15K to obtain fake diplomas and transcripts indicating that they had earned legitimate degrees, like a (two-year) associate degree in nursing; these credentials then allowed the buyers to qualify for the national nursing board exam (NCLEX). About 37% of those who bought the fake documents — or about 2,800 people — passed the exam.
(Compare to candidates holding a bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN) reportedly typically pass at 90% compared to 84% for those with an associate degree in nursing (ADN)).

Among that 2700, a “significant number” then received nursing licenses and secured jobs in unnamed hospitals and other health care settings in MD, NY, NJ, GA.

> I do agree outside of "infotainment" I want knobs and buttons for the actual car processes like A/C, windows, etc.

I'd be fine with that, since I wouldn't be using the "infotainment" stuff to begin with. But everything that I need to adjust while driving needs to be a physical control that I don't have to look at when I use it.
We're actively working on the ability to run multiple processes with different images because it's something people using our platform want and it just happens to also be something needed for us to make FKS a more standardized Kubernetes offering.
Love my fatter MBPs. The 2016-2019 models were abysmal.
My understanding is that they are picking a genome (in whole or in part synthetic / designed by them), a set of starting enzymes or transcription factors or the DNA sequence of those (not sure) (also in whole or in part synthetic), then running a computation by letting DNA transcription happen for some number of cycles, and finally read the output by some signaling protein like fluorescence that will either be present or absent depending on how you designed the initial conditions.

To me, Trumpet sounds more like a compiler or circuit/program synthesizer than an operating system, since my understanding is you have some circuit in mind and the goal is to find a good genome (and/or the enzymes, not super sure yet) that can implement it. This means finding enzymes that will accurately promote or block transcription at a target location. And also checking against potential problems as the computation/reaction progresses since in a deep circuit depth you would presumably have many more kinds of things floating around that could interfere. I didn't see any mention on the circuit efficiency here, like how many base pairs per gate as # of gates increases, which I would guess would get larger faster than linear.

They mention the signal amplification of many genomes being transcribed which is really neat (like error correction). Though makes me wonder if the output signal has a defined or expected duration of stability. If it is stable forever, it is like a fixed point or attractor, but I suspect unless under much greater design or control, things would change. And what is the latency of these gates?

With cell-free, it seems plausible to design from-scratch genomes using a database of known proteins and that could be really cool. And funny to think about applying evolutionary search to determine the fittest genome for the job. From there we go to unicellular and then up to multicellular!
> Agreed, but you haven't demonstrated that these checks and balances have been violated.

I mentioned specifically Italy, because that's where I live and where our freedoms where completely thrown out of the window by, as I said, an administrative act (not even the equivalent of an executive order, nor a law), from one day to another. An act that shouldn't have had that force, but well... rules were bent.

(A year later, people were also deprived of their ability to go to school or to work, which regardless of the reason, was equally bad)

> What volumes does it speak?

That while the event wasn't predicted, it sparked ideas on how to "revolutionize" society in a "different" way (the actual passage was about taking the pandemic as an opportunity to bring forth "a new cultural hegemony of the left"), not caring about consequences.

And we see the same with other aspect of society (misinformation, climate policies...). Some EU commissioners (Timmermanns to name one, until he was in office) are hell-bent in that direction (although this time there's significant pushback).

> those governments did what they felt they were elected to do

Outside my country, in many others (e.g. Spain), courts actually said that well, governments weren't allowed to do what they did.
Here's an NYT article at the time, from https://web.archive.org/web/20150527202158/https://www.nytim... :

> Car enthusiasts were not smitten with iDrive; many found that the system had the opposite of its intended effect, requiring more, not less, visual attention. Automobile Week wrote that iDrive ''turned the 'experience' of driving the car into a computerized affair.'' And even experts who sympathize with the impulse behind iDrive note its shortcomings. ''I spent an hour experimenting in a simulator, and I got lost in the menus,'' says Don Norman, the author of ''The Design of Everyday Things.'' BMW countered by including a cheat sheet that can be affixed to the steering wheel for befuddled parking valets. Eventually, some initially skeptical reviewers have conceded that once accustomed to it, they find the iDrive indispensable; however, that acclimation has taken as long as three months.

Norman wrote more about it at https://jnd.org/design-as-communication/ .

> By logic, the iDrive was a superior device. Alas, people function through stories, not logic. Moreover, people are spatial, we remember where things are in space, whereas the iDrive destroyed spatiality. And finally, the stories we remember and the conceptual models we prefer have to do with how a particular device functions: heating and cooling the automobile, changing the station of the radio, checking what distance remains for our trip. Each activity requires a separate story, separate control, and a separate location for operation. Alas, the iDrive collapsed everything into one location.
Absolutely, more transparency there would be great. But you said:

There's a great selection of fine cars with low level of software, but ECU-s started to appear in the 70's and 80's to control various aspects of the cars. I assume you associate software in cars with displays, but by the time they started to appear, there were tons of software already in those ECU-s.

Off hand, this reminds me a lot of the Lua "generic for loop" logic:

I always found it weird to use, but it is a pretty simple API for implementing generic iterators.
They're both percentages. Using the wrong term isn't a math failure, like in your example.

"markup" versus "margin" is an arbitrary choice, not something people should be expected to intuit. And they're usually close in value, so people are less likely to be informed or reminded of the two terms and which is which.
Irony aside, Elixir definitely feels like a current trendy thing, or at the very least more trendy than Java.
I've been doing some experiments on a bridge on ramp near me. Leaving the bridge, going up hill, the speed limit is 40mph. Approaching the bridge, going downhill, the speed limit is 25mph. There are two lanes, but the bridge only has three total lanes so at different points during the day the right lane of the approach closes and you merge left before using the right most lane of the bridge.

Traffic, of course, approaches the bridge at 40+mph. Semi-regularly there's a police officer pulling people over and ticketing them.

I've begun entering the right lane, whenever possible, and setting my cruise control to a hard limit of 25mph. (Setting a soft limit of 25mph does nothing, as you coast up to 40 down that hill.)

When two lanes are open on the bridge, about 80% of the time when I reach the bottom of the hill at 25mph... I immediately have to slow, and sometimes stop, as the traffic on the bridge is slower. If there was a good bit of traffic with me, approximately 6 cars will have passed me on the hill, and be stopped ahead of me waiting for the bridge to clear.

If there is only one lane, the usual traffic pattern is that some people merge left as early as possible, and others will begin passing in the right lane, usually aiming to pass as much of the line of traffic as possible before merging. This typically leads to stop and go traffic, because as the left lane slows down approaching the bridge they lose any space for a zipper merge, and must come to a complete stop for the detectors to merge in at the last minute.

If I set my cruise to 25 -- the speed limit -- in the right lane, then after a few moments there aren't typically people zipping down the right lane ahead or behind me, and the merge typically happens at about 25-30 mph behind me as people pass me, and there's typically not any merging at 0 mph at the last minute.

About 80% of the time, by the time I get to the bottom of the hill, there's no one left in the left lane, everyone having passed me and zipped away, and I can merge without difficulty.

The failure mode here is that if traffic is significantly backed up in the left lane, either I have to zip past them at 25mph and merge at the last minute, being the asshole, or I merge earlier, into the slow-moving traffic, and abandon my traffic-shaping experiments.

I know it's not the point of the article, but, as a code reviewer, this:

> Well written ruby code can often read like natural language. Features like predicate methods even give up punctuation. [...] This is often why ruby programmers don’t like comments. In most cases, the language makes comments unnecessary.

churns my stomach. Good comments are rarely about saying what the code does, they're about explaining _why_ the code does what it does. Regardless of how comprehensible ruby code is, it doesn't change the need for comments. If I had a nickel for every time I gave a commit a -1 review because it had too few comments or the wrong kind of comments or lacked a "why" commit message, I'd be a rich man.
UI is hard for any carmaker to get right. The target user range (from pops to teen to soccer mom to SV tycoon) is way, way wider than the typical user that gets a figma-designed UX on top of React. Being conservative pays off in this arena, but, duh, we do need innovation and evolution in cars too, specially .

I tend to get confused when cars have too many buttons, console cluster areas and there are cars where, after years as a owner, I just couldn't find the alert button, the rear defogger or some of the other "quick-fire" buttons, such as the "resume" cruise position on the steering wheel right joystick on my wife's Kia. Yes, things buried deep in a menu can also be annoying. To me the best compromise is: give me a steering-wheel "mouse" so that I can at least hit a shortcut somewhere without lifting my hands off the steering wheel.
You are defending your beloved toys (rockets) and those who make them, but you should make a list of consumer stuff which we have today thanks to space:

I can only think of GPS and Sat TV but it's not like we could not find other ways to do it.

Namely some location system with Cell towers and sensors within cars and at the side of roads, and Sat TV well cable and terrestrial signal work just fine.

All the other stuff including the indirect benefits that people always love to cite could be easily achieved by throwing the same amount of money at basic research

At the end of the day this is about the very childish love for rockets, which is also very bizzarre considering that the odds of riding on one are so slim that you can only watch others doing it, also very unrewarding considering that you don't feel anything and you are trapped in a giant condom moving into the vacuum as opposed to a plane or a glider or a motorcycle or a bike where you can feel the feedback from the air and have a sense of relative movement due to stuff around you.

At first I felt like maybe this was a reasonable strategy from the west, because it allowed NATO to escalate capabilities slowly without at any point performing actions that would have looked like a direct attack on Russian home soil, justifying military action against the west, etc.

And now Avdiivka will become this winter's Bakhmut and the US could very well end up with a Putin-allied Trumpler in the Whitehouse next year.
