Not everybody thinks windows (aka, large holes in the wall, with just a thin piece of glass or if you're lucky two, between you and the hostile outside environment) are a must have.

I recall I opted for a room without on holiday some years ago, and they wanted to offer a free "upgrade" to a room with a window on checkin. Um, no, that's not an "upgrade" you fools, yes I came to your city to look at a variety of wonderful things, but none of those things is visible from the hotel window. So in exchange for it being slightly less secure and slightly drafty, I get to look at the carpark whenever I want? No thanks.
Let's say you have a cable with 2.5mm^2 wires, each of which can carry 20A of current to stay within code. At 230V that's 4600W.

Now you want more power, to keep the math simple, let's say 13800W (3x the power above).

With a one phase system, for 3x the power, you need 3x the size of wire, so 7.5mm^2, ie. 3x the amount of copper (since all wires, neutral and PE have to be that size too).

With a three phase system, you can get the same power with 3x2.5mm^2 live wires (+1 neutral + 1 PE), so instead of 3x the amount of copper, you only need 5/3's of copper to get 3x the power.
Fortunately, airplane mode and "do not disturb" are still available wherever you go.
It's not clear to me (the article is paywalled and I'm not giving Rupert Murdoch a fucking cent) how widespread these luxury dorms are -- I wouldn't trust WSJ to report accurately on this sort of thing -- but this kind of experience doesn't sound very common based on the experiences of recent college kids I've talked to. Some of whom went to very expensive universities.
Is there much difference from the Windows 2000 UI from Windows NT 4.0? Which also looks very close to Windows 95. Win95 was released in 1995, WinNT 4.0 in 1996, and I would guess they were developed in parallel.
My own path through related stuff is unusual, so nothing like the authors. I do however have experience working with and teaching people who were on very similar paths to theirs.

There are a huge number of kids in this authors shoes, ones who are on a treadmill and not entirely sure why. There are also lots of kids who were always the best at something (in this case math) that any of their teachers etc. had ever seen ... until they move across the country and find themselves in a classroom where they are middling at best. And sure, there are rare kids who are so good it catches you off guard.

FWIW I suspect there are more kids made miserable than those who thrive, but I think it's largely unavoidable in a tournament system like "elite" college apps. There are also plenty of kids who had some fun and made some friends along the way without taking it too seriously. I suspect in this case it's often a good outlook in high school, especially for kids who don't really fit in anywhere else.

Lines up with what I’ve read elsewhere, regarding that span of 3-5 years featuring an unusual minimum in US naval capability (especially attack subs, which are speculated to play a major role in any defense of the straight against landing craft). Due to procurement decisions made years ago, and now unavoidable—there’s a huge lead time on building ships (or “boats”) and it’s hard to change course, as it were, once you’ve set it.

I wouldn't dismiss the value of automated testing altogether, I think it really depends on the domain. I haven't seen a dedicated QA team in any of my recent companies and all the projects do just fine.

With that said, if I were to develop something high-profile I'd use a combination of both (and usually funding is not an issue for this types of projects)

> there was no meaningful change to the Twitter software

Social networks are more about the people in the community than the technical specifics. I didn't join twitter because they had an amazing way to input 140 characters, I joined because there were people I liked there.
In a sense, even the way I use print statements and other outputs to validate the behavior of a non-TDD program at each iteration could be called test assisted or something. It's just in that case, the test is the whole program at each iteration, rather than something that is fully automated and decoupled from its normal operation. Each test then expands in scope with the scope of the program, not being preserved except perhaps as assertions or log messages.
So long as the charger supports the same connector they all work - some might be a level2 charger that takes forever, but you plug it into any car.

Gas stations can choose from 3-10 grades of gas (octane, ethanol content, road tax) to sell, and 2-6 grades of diesel (cetane, gel point, road tax) depending on what the distributor offers - no station sells them all (at least not that I'm aware of), and getting the wrong fuel can be fatal. Stations also can choose their own additive package which can make a difference.

Note that in almost all cases there is only one distributor you can buy from. Electric is generally a legal monopoly, while gasoline the closest supplier generally has a pipeline and thus can offer much cheaper prices so while it is legal to buy elsewhere it isn't practical.
Have you done any road tripping in an EV? my experience of the app-based charging landscape has been complete horror; apps don’t work, chargers don’t start, payments don’t through..

Just last month was a new app at McDonalds in Sweden, that one asks me to, in the freezing cold, scan a dirty QR code sticker, which takes me to a website I’ve never heard of that wants me to manually enter credit card info, like a phishing attack smorgasbord.

I think it's true they won't offset the large platforms, but I also don't think those communities are rare. I too use Discord and YouTube (begrudgingly), but I also use IRC, wikis, and old school forums. There's also Matrix, mastodon, lemmy, mailing lists, heck even usenet. But what's rare probably stems from us being in different communities?

My opinion is that the communities I've found the most fulfillment/happiness in have are not funded primarily as a commercial operation. Sometimes they are related to commercial things (fandoms, user groups), but the community itself is not trying to sell itself, its users, its data, etc. My opinion is that it would be better for all internet-based communities if there were lower-friction ways to start an online community without giving yourself up to commercialization of a platform. Through the many layers of tech that would require changing/tweaking to fix this. All the way down from network layer DDoS mitigation to application layer maintenance and hosting.

I suspect if you're wary about fomite spread of disease (later shown to be airborne for COVID but initially assumed), then it's easy to pick up a phobia of grappling the handlebars of a scooter that a stranger has recently used.

Additionally, at least anecdotally here, as the city centers hollowed out of normal business/leisure traffic, a lot of the rental vehicles were visibly breached and used by homeless folks, which often tarnished the literal appearance and reliability of the rental units in addition to damaging the brand.
Recharging electric vehicles is not like refilling gas-powered cars. You will intentionally drive a gas vehicle down to 20%, even 10% tank left before going out of your way to a gas station, maybe once a week on average. But with electric cars, you should intentionally be plugging in to recharge as frequently as possible, at least once a day, as you are penalized (with longer recharge times) the longer you go between recharges.

Imagine needing to negotiate a credit card with your wall outlet before recharging your phone every night, and you'll get an idea why people would hate needing to pull out their credit card for every EV charge.
Ahh ok, I never knew that. That sounds horribly wrong.

The sort of deception that goes into making a bubble generally requires a kernel of truth to build and exaggerate on. Bubbles have always served to get investors to pay for training new labor for the industry. That depresses wages and labor costs in the long term.

The fact it isn't also triggering a hiring boom stands out to me as worth looking at.

I'm from Scandinavia, and I always find it both fascinating and alien how much focus the US system puts on extracurriculars - and more specifically competitive extracurricular activities.

On one side, it is probably good to motivate pupils to aim for something, and get good at it - but on the other side, you obviously end up with a bunch of kids that are just really good at grinding away - even if their heart is not there. And must become some obligatory thing, because everyone else is doing it.

FWIW, over here academics is the only thing that maters. There are no entrance exams, no personal letter, no letter of recommendation, no extracurricular activities. Your GPA is the only thing that maters.

(Of course, that also has its downsides. People end up re-taking HS exams year after year, because someone beat their GPA with a decimal point.)

Hence, the article:

> As the company’s name teases, the idea may seem futuristic, but it’s far from new. Let’s call it a cousin of the pipe-forward delivery solution favored in the 19th and early 20th century — the pneumatic tube. In cities like London and New York, networks of pipes that snaked underground and through buildings allowed people to send urgent packages, telegrams, checks, and at least one sick cat whooshing through offices, banks and mailrooms, powered by compressed air.
Code is inventory, not debt. Inventory is good and bad. If someone comes to your store and everything is out of stock, you will make $0. So you want some inventory. But if you have too much inventory and nobody is buying anything, then your inventory just rusts in storage and becomes worthless. Code is pretty much exactly the same. Most features are sitting in storage in the hopes that someone comes by to buy it. Sometimes they do! Sometimes they don't. If you were the guy with a toilet paper warehouse in March 2020 you did great.

I'm still side-eyeing the whole scene. I haven't used any yet.
I don't know about other locales, but here, in France, people weren't supposed to wander too far away from their homes. Basically, you were only allowed to go to work if you absolutely couldn't work from home – and many people were staying home because their businesses were shut down.

You were not supposed to go visit a friend on the other side of town. "Non-essential" stores were closed, so no reason to go too far away (and if your closest grocery store is far enough to take a scooter, you're probably not living somewhere where they are present).
With an L2 at an apartment, you might be plugging in daily. It'd be nice to keep the steps as minimal as possible.

Having said that, something like an NFC card + QR code support would be good enough, IMO. The main thing would be to keep the app as simple and fast as possible.

Neither, any savings will trickle up to the investors. The price of robotaxis is going to be just below the limit where it would make sense to own a car.
Novel work can often be accomplished by taking two existing methods and implementing parts of both, it doesn't have to be a eureka moment that stems from nothing. In this case, seeing what went wrong in one experiment, seeing what went right in another, combining the best of both, and re-implementing...is novel work.
That depends on the local legal framework. Many states have a one call program, and if you properly call the number anything you encounter that isn't marked isn't your problem if you go through it. (you still need to be careful as things can kill you, but legally you are not at fault for breaking anything that wasn't marked)

The hard part is in places where there are things of archeological interest. Most of the US doesn't have this as North America has a lack of easily accessible materials that will last and so the ancients mostly used things that didn't last. In most of the world (and parts of the US) ancient civilization often left things behind that are of interest.
NACS is fundamentally incompatible for 3-phase power. You need a live, a neutral, a ground, and two extra wires for each extra phase.

And all because of our over reliance on cars in urban and suburban environments. Mass transit basically eliminates the need for moving violations, traffic citations, parking problems, cameras, and police stops. No more need for stroads, toll booths, etc. Our cities might actually be livable again. Walking and biking wouldn't feel like putting our lives at risk. Fewer parking lots means more stores and other amenities closer to where we live.

It's the cars. Autonomous or not, cars are the problem.

But just like health care, we keep choosing and voting for the absolute worst option because it's what we're used to and fear-mongers selling us a story about how any change will inevitably lead to a socialist hellscape. Fear: it's a hell of an addictive drug even as we witness our own obvious decline.

> > the AI improves their ad relevancy to such a degree that it makes google search more valuable, not less.

> More valuable to who?

To the paying customers - advertisers.

> In this case it seems like more relevant ads increases the value of Google Search to advertisers but not necessarily users.

So? Google doesn't care about its users, and hasn't for a very long time now.

Google became profitable purely because they delivered the most value to advertisers, by way of having the most eyeballs. More relevant advertisements are not going to reduce the number of eyeballs that google sells.

> If, as a user, I see ads that are more directly targeted at me, that is a negative value in a search engine.

And those users will be lost in the noise, a statistical rounding error, if that. Losing unprofitable users helps Google become even more profitable.
I recently listened the podcast Our Fake History's two parter on Machiavelli and can recommend it as a nuanced look at his life and work. Most particularly, the host points out the context that Machiavelli wasn't writing The Prince in a vacuum, it was likely intended to win him a job in the restored Medici government in Florence. And that the most brutal advice is specifically given as applying to rulers who have recently seized power through force of arms, not as applying to all rulers in all situations.

Yes, I very much took the resistance to change aspect as implied.

The line between change management and OD is blurry, not least because one is often used to achieve the other. That it is so often misapplied perhaps explains my response. Not that I take it back!

I appreciate the quick and passionate read! Ruby was one of the languages I sought out when I was trying to figure out if I should switch from PHP before getting on a “set” professional path. At that stage, I’d been doing PHP and web programming for about 4-5 years and just getting through college. Now, some 15+ years later, I’ve (recently) shifted mostly to frontend.

Your blog post made me really consider giving Ruby another shot, and I’m curious if you have any good places to start for someone familiar with programming but not Ruby.

Thank you, and I’ll definitely be reading more of your blog :)

I kind of assume the opposite problem. If you start with code and then add testing and documentation you may never committed to leave broken things to maintain otherwise inconsistent alternative sources of truth. If you try to maintain these things from the start you probably have a lot of errors that no one is authorized/competent to fix without leaving behind references to incorrect truths, even if it is only in a less frequent contributor's mind.
