I appreciate your positive view on the topic. This is right in many ways. On the other hand I think innovation is very made up nowadays. So to really innovate you will probably need your elite network, funding, connections ... much more than knowing how to manage sub optimal conditions.
What about child abusers? People convicted of fraud or other types of corruption? etc. Basically people that never should never be allowed to do certain types of work because it wouldn’t be in the public interest?
Induction is very convenient, and is better for some stuff, but overall isn't as good as it doesn't heat the pan as evenly -- how much of a problem that is depends on the pan -- or allow you to move the pan as much.

In particular if you want to cook with a wok, gas is much better.

Would sprinkling on some citations of academic books magically confer authority somehow? Feels like really the wrong model.
It's an unfortunate coincidence. 2023 just happens to be when the MISRA committee finalised the document.

The good news is that it's very unlikely to happen for any future document version.
No, the reason is a rulong by Germanys Verfassungsgericht (you might call it Germany's supreme court) making the repurposing of soke Covid related funds, which where used and planned to be used for various other things, illegal. Now the government is left with some significant budget shortages, cutting the EV subsidies is just one of the resulting saving actions.
The most noisy ones imo are the dirt bikes with no mufflers. Those can be heard from miles away. Or those 50cc scooters young lads ride on.
I dont get the appeal of centrism.

These days it's usually a disguise for some sort of ideology anyhow (e.g. Biden's foreign policy is neoconservative, which reality is being very unkind to) and even if it weren't it's the living incarnation of the argument to moderation fallacy. Move the overton window and what counts as centrism gets dragged around with it.

For example, centrists during slave-owning times called for better treatment of slaves or at the very least providing compensation to owners of freed slaves.
Reflections on a lifetime of seeing myself the same as everyone else.
The thing about Europe is that it's large and diverse, you can't generalize by saying "in Europe".

There are a lot of pickpockets in Paris, I've never been victim of it but I've witnessed it several time. Never saw that in the 5 years I lived in Tokyo or the 3 years I lived in SF.

You always get free tapwater in France (that's the law) but not in Poland.

I agree in that I would recommend anyone to visit Europe - even European should visit other European countries! But it's important to remember that Europe is made of several very, very different countries.
In some countries, the law is that if you're working on a "public offer" deal (where you don't sign any contract), you can't restrict. Any restriction (like asking a disabled to get out of expensive cafe to not bother other people) can be punished. If you need to sign a contract with a representative, then yes, they can choose not to do it.
I've been playing ttrpgs for over 25 years now and have a substantial library around 500 books, mostly rulebooks, but also plenty of dnd supplements.
Overall I can say, the quality of WotC material has never been particularly good, but in recent years has fallen even below its old mediocrity, especially compared to their much smaller competition (not that it matters for the market share). Sure, 5e is pretty much late-stage dnd and splatbooks have always been rather questionable at the end of an edition. But the quasi monopoly of dnd and its success is also its greatest problem. They remember the reactions of the community towards 4th edition, as well as the ogl disaster earlier this year and they probably know that they cannot simply push "new product" to replace the current material people have purchased. They can only extend it or make slight improvements that don't disturb the average player who already spend money on something they like and plays "fine" (i.e. an inoffensive, acceptable and conventional fantasy experience). "one d&d" playtest material, anyone? d&d players are a rather conservative bunch of weirdos, why else would they cling to such a dusty system? So, what's there to promise the shareholders? A successful new edition? Unlikely. Maybe digital products? But you hardly need the old staff for that. We'll see, I guess.
On a personal note, I've all the dnd I ever need and I've been rather bored with it. For my ttrpg future it's currently at the bottom of my list of things I want to play. The market of ttrpgs is generally pretty over-saturated and while the last years have been great as far as products by small publishers go, there's been less and less interesting material, e.g. even reputable publishers are desperately picking up tv and movie franchises to turn into rpg books. The hobby has had ups and downs, the early 80s, the late 90s, and the last few years were high points, now expect a downturn. Don't get me wrong, it will remain popular, but there will be less money in it for conventional material. And I guess WotC knows it, too.

Quite the opposite, English has been the source of many such pressures, e.g. post Norman invasion, but it simply adapted in borg-like fashion to redefine what English was; retaining some of the previous language and moulding itself to fit in some of the new language.

Rather than rigidly fight against new influence, it took new words while retaining some of it's own. It does this constantly.

Even Chaucer's English is difficult to decipher for a modern English speaker, and that isn't even that old.
Tire noise is related to speed and (i'm guessing weight of car). Usually you don't live near highway, so urban street noice levels would be much lower when there would be no engine noise car would not weight 2+ tones and preferably would use low noise tires (quiet tires).

This was the backup, they re-floated the ships and reduced the enemy capabilities for the rest of the war-game, to ensure that the personnel got the desired training. You don't train sailors and soldiers to successfully die, or even to kill the enemy, you train them to successfully perform a series of steps under pressure. Goal achieved in 2002. Since then, they took the lessons learned from the first part and figured out how to fight small boats better. I know when I was in the Navy in the decade after 2002 that there was much more focus on small boat defense and a bunch of new weapons and tactics to fight against small boat swarms. That was the purpose of the war-game, and to all accounts it was wildly successful since we learned a big lesson!

Don't be an armchair Admiral if you aren't sure why things are done in a certain way in the Navy. This was very publicized as a "failure", but the whole purpose of war-games is to learn new lessons. I would be embarrassed that you mistook this as a failure, and claimed we lost wars because of failures such as this one. The reason we lost recent wars is because there was no goal for those wars, so there was no way to win it. It was a political failure most of all. Vietnam, too. Without a goal, the most well trained militaries can't claim victory.
YES! Finally! Already wasted millions for similar shit ("Abwrackprämie").

Handling stale data needs to be considered when implementing it.
ORMs like Prisma execute an update query and follow it up with a select. This would result in stale data being returned most of the time. If you use this data expecting your update to be contained in it you are going to have a bad time (statemachines, etc.)
The Epic question: how Google lost its antitrust case while Apple won
I am not French but I heard good things from some colleagues from Quebec (exactly like you, surprisingly) that speak French to native French colleagues as soon as they get a chance to, because they like to do so and don't feel mocked at all.

Of course they are aware of the accents, but you can still have fun and talk to each other. Then, of course, if the French mock them behind their back when they are alone, I will probably never know.

are you walking along a high-speed interstate?

I live in LA and the vehicle noise is negligible on any walk to anywhere compared to the low roar of the sounds of living otherwise -- unless you happen to get some muffler-less asshole driving his shitbox next to you; but that same rule applies just about anywhere.

I guess it could be a benefit of the low speed LA traffic?

Personally anytime i'm near traffic the stuff that bugs me is exhaust and brake/clutch dust. Nothing like a hot semi truck parking next to you in traffic after a long downhill stretch to cool his brakes and douse you in friction-material fumes while he waits for the light to turn green.
Please note that "glibc" is the GNU C library, which is highly distinct from "glib" which is the general-purpose utility library underlying GTK and many other GNOME-adjacent technologies.
The issue here is not the registered offenders list but that things like this are considered crimes and somebody could be convicted for them.

It’s not about forgiveness, it’s about minimizing future harm. If you are an actual (and there should be a sufficiently high bar for that) convicted child abuser you should never be allowed to be employed in any job which allows you to have authority over children etc. in such cases “forgiveness” would certainly be against the public interest.

It isn't even the German government's fault. It's the fact that they were using a Covid budget to pay for those programs because they are struggling to pass any new investment budgets in the parliament.

The current German government is having difficulties raising money, despite Germany having a low debt-to-GDP ratio, because the coalition is up against CDU's (former chancellor Merkel's party) and other more conservative parties, they don't want to let the new coalition do anything.

Germany is going into a deadlock because of that political fight, and extreme right-wing parties are growing everyday, as Germany drowns into a recession with an industry that needs those incentives badly, in order to compete with Tesla and Chinese carmakers.

If you want to see what destruction of value is, just watch CDU sink Germany.
You cannot build serious stuff in Java effectively without a framework. Choosing Java is choosing frameworks. The reasons are many, such as: Java programmers know Duplo, presented with Lego they are simply unable; Java is Duplo, presented with Lego problems it is simply unable; even a really competent programmer is simply unable when presented with Lego problems and Java because the one way to make it really productive is through the use of a good framework.

Also: All of this is for reasons I am unable to go in to.

I agree, I don't see how 20 years isn't long enough from that pov.

What company is going to wait 20 years before signing a book deal, film deal, etc.

Further. This still ignores the fact that there's value to having the original creator attached. You don't want the author of the book trashing your new film, you want them promoting it.

car tires are wide. Much wider than they need to be to do same speeds on normal roads. This is fashion driven and encourages drivers to go faster than they should. It also wastes fuel and makes more noise.

I believe that's "police".
I do that a lot, and sometimes even consciously, because, if I may be bold, large companies have a lot of people, and among so many people there's surely some evil masterminds.

I am sorry, but this can no longer be considered clickbait. This headline is just criminal.
Tech is looking more and more alike the finance yuppies boom from the 80s-90s, a lot of overpaid people creating little value to society, and a lot of times actually extracting value from society to line their pockets.

I've been in tech since the early 2000s, after more than 2 decades in this I only get more disgusted about the industry... The dreamy creation phase with unlimited potential is over, replaced by the chase of ever-increasing TC, corporate growth, etc.
I don't think that cuts to the core of the problem. Java (and JavaScript) are too weak. The way you make them productive is by emulating strength through a framework; more than one way exists to Rome, however, so there will be differences in how The One True Framework must be.
Awesome to see. We are productionizing a variant of this in louie.ai and it's the biggest step function in system quality we've seen in ~months. This kind of thing enables continuous learning & user-directed learning without having to formally fine-tune a model - magically instant from the user perspective -- and fits cleanly within a RAG system in general.

Of course, once you rephrase this as a learning problem, a lot of new questions pop up on what it means to do it right :)

This depends a lot on what you means by "eugenics". Some people use the word to be a normative word (a statement about what should be) others positive word (a statement about what IS or could be). E.g. "We can use CRISPR and genetic screening to make people resistant to HIV" vs "we should do so".

The former is a question of fact ("is this possible?") though often with a bunch of unspoken subquestions ("can we do this change without causing incidental genetic changes or damaging the egg?") and in the realm of science while the latter is a question of policy and feelings (how much do we want HIV resistance? What is the price we're willing to pay/risk we're willing to take? Does deliberately altering humanity open a can of worms best left unopened?).

Conflation between normative and positive meanings are quite common across a wide variety of domains and can cause substantial confusion as two people can think they're talking about the same thing but actually aren't.

Even in the "should" case there's a bunch of confusion as to what sort of things should count as "eugenics", with some people wanting the term to apply only to coercive measures and others wanting the term to apply to any deliberate changes to a population's gene pool (and theres the grey area in the middle where financial incentives happen).

Note: A lot of politically fraught words will have a number of similar but different meanings as various interest groups fight over them. From "war" and "violence" to "culture" and "science" to "person" and "rights".

At the time we were still calling them quadcopters, it was a conscious effort to not use "drone" because that word was in the media a lot due to military use (killing humans).

Quadcopter enthusiasts didn't want that to turn into societal concern or extra regulations.
a bit of humor here for me : both bigger engines and turbos generally reduce noise pollution when compared to the other design choices available for that power envelope.

the loudest engine? a small literage non-turbo high compression motor of some sort.

the most famously loud race-car , the mazda 787b, had a 2.6 liter naturally aspirated motor. Small literage, small package, rotary. Fairly high compression. It deafened drivers.

turbochargers can be made to be annoying by enthusiasts, sure -- but that energy they produce is in large part thanks to the damping effect of the energy scavenging that they enable.

and as for engine size, as literage increases an engine developer has to do less to get the power they need -- that means they can use long and heavily dampened mufflers/exhaust systems, lower compression, lower RPM, less noise . Again, yes -- enthusiasts can ruin this, but the larger majority of these big motors are quieter/smoother than their counterparts that must go to extremes to meet the same power criteria.
Not sure about the fabric of reality bit, but a lot of AI folks follow effective accelerationism and things like that.

Definitely a generalisation, but i would see them as two sides of the same coin.

If Cert has something about an API, then it will have an example of misuse of it and then an example showing its correct use.

MISRA might either prohibit it's use completely (if there's a safe alternative), or with require some boilerplate step be taken every time the API is used.
That's true, but I'm not sure if this is really a new thing, or if it's always been the case.

I do think that if you want to be the proverbial "guy in the garage inventing the future," it's probably better to be a liberal arts school dropout / kicked out of a state university (Jobs + Wozniak) than coming from Harvard (Gates.) But for such people, there may be zero correlation between real innovation and financial reward.
