Hi, Brave engineer here,

I'd like to mention that when you subscribe to Brave Search premium, it is completely decoupled from the searches you then make (no way for us to link your email to your searches) by relying on blinded tokens to prove that you are premium, but without the backend knowing which account (and using one new token per search in order to avoid being able to build search sessions).

I hope that helps,
Not just "got away". Paula Vennell was chief executive officer of Post Office Limited from 2012 to 2019. She routinely denied there were problems with its Horizon IT system including to a Parliamentary Select Committee.

She was awarded a CBE in 2019 "for services to the Post Office and to charity"

The service level in Italy was unbelievably bad for a time, then got much better, with occasional dramatic drops in quality.

The problem is that (like in many areas) our collective subjective memory of things lags behind reality, sometimes by decades.

Things get enshrined deep in culture (not only films, but day to day jokes and mechanical repetition of cultural self-flagellation).

I'm living in Italy for almost 20y now, coming from Switzerland. I came here in part because I wanted the experience of a more chaotic place, coming from the extreme order in Switzerland I found confining and suffocating.

Central Italy in the 2000s was a good mixture of chaos and infrastructure that worked ok in order to have a civilized life. Roads had potholes but they did exist, it's wasn't Madagascar level bad.

Yet italians complained and complained and kept saying that they were backward country and looked up at Germany or the Netherlands or whatnot.

Over the years everything got incrementally improved. Roundabouts got built, green grass inside roundabouts got actually cut, parking spaces started to be delimited and you no longer had to park your car in the mud alongside a road (but now you had to pay for parking in more places) ...

And also trains got better! Objectively better. And more expensive. They were incredibly dirt cheap 20 years ago, now they are not too expensive but it's an entirely different ballpark.

20 years ago my average experience from Pisa to Florence was to suffocate for 50 minutes because somebody let a puddle of vomit uncleaned in the train and there was no physical space to go to escape that because the train was so packed.

Now trains are much cleaner, more frequent, bigger, faster, ...

Occasionally you get stuck in a tunnel for a couple of hours because something breaks but hey it only happen to me once in the last 10 years and it happened 10 times the decade before, so improvement!!

Yet, locals still think nothing improved. Yesterday I had a conversation with Italians who thought they were the country with the worst infrastructure. The thing is, most people here live in an imaginary world.

Even when they do travel abroad, they don't update their beliefs about that stuff. It's a bit like identity politics. They watch TV journalism shows that show how well executed (cherry picked) public systems in other countries work, and bask in self-flagellation. While the other identity group declares how Italians are the best in the world and that nothing approaches their virtues etc. these two camps (I struggle identifying them as left and right anymore) affect each other and make their position even stronger.

I wonder if real door maintenance is better understood than dummy door maintenance, though.
It also explains why socks are actually a quite nice gift, as you get them before you'll need them, which historically is the best time, considering the alternative may be to receive them not at all.

In that view, a lump of coal doesn't seem half bad either! I think the focus there is on the miserly portion, not the utility of the gift (or lack thereof). Reading tradition(s) in this way really helps put fictional accounts such as A Christmas Carol and traditional celebrations themselves in a more charitable light.

It's a bit late, but I wish you season's greetings and a happy new year, whenever and however you celebrate, if and when you do.
Firefighter here. I will walk into a burning building if I'm wearing bunker gear, breathing from a working SCBA, carrying a Halligan or axe so I can chop my way back out if I have to, and my buddy is with me carrying a hose squirting water. Lots of water. Said hose must be attached to a BRT (big red truck) on the other end so that when I can't see shit and my air alarm starts beeping we can crawl along by feeling said hose and follow it back out to safety.

Most important, I must have a reasonable suspicion that there are lives inside that might be savable.

Without all that, screw it. That building gets to burn.
> You can make a conflict free merge of two correct parents and the result is broken code. It does not seem to happen very often in real life, but it's a risk one should be aware of.

Correct and I would say even more than that; in a system more than minimal complexity you need to run your tests on your branch with main merged into it before you merge your branch into main. Too often CI is set up to only test HEAD of the new branch.

Yeah but, in your example. this is a bookkeeping issue that, while frustrating and time consuming and costly, is just that. It’s not like a gas line in Manhattan blew up because someone in Toledo hit C-v in Excel. The scientists swapped around excel files and imported stuff without checking, which then was fed into other systems. A clusterfuck but one that is a daily occurrence at, minimally, every major non-tech company. It eventually gets unfucked with human labor or it simply wasn’t important in the first place. Exact same thing happens in research and academia.

Point being, unknown unknowns are just that. But most unknowns are known and can be programmed defensively against for most serious use cases. All major fields are like this—like, you can hook up a car battery to light a menthol tank to boil two cups of water… or we can use a kettle. Perhaps for a brief point in time, due to our ignorance or just history, people lit containers of menthol on fire like it was sane, but that doesn’t mean it was, or is.

Rails have much more limited capacity. Train costs in the UK are mostly dominated by demand exceeding supply, and supply being hard to add. Also you don't have to maintain tracks in the air, and airlines have less militant unions.

The final big hammer is of course competition. Airlines have lots, rail companies don't.
In practice, they're very similarly sized. 90m vs 91.5m in length (on average). Widths are different but that's usually not relevant when describing the size of things as "half of a football field".

Unuderstanding JavaScript Scope: A Comprehensive Guide
Ferry routes have really taken a pounding in the UK over the past decade or two unfortunately. Combination of the channel tunnel and low cost airlines I would making former routes uneconomical to run is, I would imagine, where the majority of the blame lies.

One example: I've always wanted to do a motorcycle tour around Scandinavia, particularly Norway, but it's a heck of a ride from Calais all the way up there. For many bikes, far enough that you'd need to organise a service and tyre change at least once whilst on the trip. At the time when I was first thinking about this I had a bike with a 3750 mile service interval, although I could generally squeak 4000 - 5000 miles out of tyres.

So my plan back in 2014 had been to ride up from East Anglia to Aberdeen, get on the ferry to Lerwick, and then get a ferry from Lerwick to Stavanger in Norway to cut off a lot of "transit" riding. Unfortunately it turned out the website with this ferry route listed was lying to me, and that actually it had been retired in something like 2008. (You can still find this route listed on some websites today, but it's long since gone.)

Nowadays I'm not even sure it's possible to get a ferry from the UK to Germany. I've never done it but you used to be able to get a ferry from Harwich (very convenient for me) to Bremerhaven: no more, sadly.
Unbelievable. People died because of this woman and her team. Same with the Fujitsu bunch. Do we not care any more? It's pathetic.
Okay if you want to be precise, the mass of the density function of cats over uk locations is largely in urban areas, while the mass of the density function of bird-habitat-value is much more spread over the whole landscape, which is also true of agriculture. Risk to birds will be proportional to the dot-product of the bird-habitat-value density function with that of a risk factor, and since the density function of agriculture is much more correlated with that of bird-habitat-value than it is correlated with that of cats, so changes in agriculture are likely to be the greater factor in changes in bird population.
Err, maybe that was there perception but isn't the 737 line responsible for the vast majority of all airline fatalities? It's basically the grim reaper of the skies!
The Bird investors took massive risk, some invested at $2 billion valuation and pretty much lost it all when it dropped under 15 million, then the company filed for bankruptcy.

The fleet managers do not own the scooters, which is the most important capital. They lease some support vans, rent warehouse space and own some minimal capital, such as tools and a stock of spare parts. It's a low risk business with fairly predictable revenue streams, that's cheap to wind down when your main customer goes under.

And it's not a gig economy job, these fleet managers had set up businesses and employed other people. They certainly have no right to make money before Bird or at the expense of Bird's investors. It was simply a bad business and they made a wrong decision to pursue it.

I'd be dubious of sweeping claims about what is "crucial" to motivate people in general. I would also consider myself a gymrat in the sense you probably mean. I've been fairly consistent about lifting six days a week for roughly three years now. Time missed isn't down to motivation so much as travel, injury, and illness. I'm more than willing to accept that as a form of loosely principled periodization anyway. Cardio has been somewhat less consistent, but that has been far more down to what I imagined I was capable of than motivation. Now that I know I can do it, I've gotten pretty good about running from 20-40 miles a week or so with variance coming down to injury and illness.

This is all at home. My motivation is I'm an animal in a body that needs to be used and regularly stressed in ways it can adapt to in order to remain closer to peak functionality than degraded, and I don't want to degrade. I had very bad degenerative spine issues in my 30s and my experience living in a less degraded body has been far better than living in a degraded body. I don't feel any need for other people to push me. I work out completely alone in my own garage or on the street. I comment about it here when it comes up as a topic but don't try to be a part of any other web communities devoted to fitness. I don't publicly post progress photos or stats. I keep logs but only as feedback for my own planning.

This isn't down to trying to avoid other people, either. This is largely down to convenience. When I had gym memberships in the past, sometimes I would go and sometimes I would not and quite often the thing keeping me from going was the simple friction of needing to leave the house and get in a car for 20 minutes. As it stands, I didn't have a car for a few years and still very rarely drive thanks to the continuing spinal stiffness in the wake of multiple lumbar fusions. There is quite a bit less friction involved in walking downstairs whenever I happen to have a spare 40 minutes in the day.

I say all of this understanding not everybody works in the same way. Some may need a hard schedule. Some may need a coach or social factor. Some may do better with strict separation of home as a place to relax and somewhere else as a place to push bodily function. Some may need their garage for cars. Many are not going to have thousands of dollars to blow on equipment but can easily afford a monthly subscription to use equipment shared with others.

I'm only intending to point out there are many ways to make this work and to push language on the web away from saying things are "absolutely crucial to motivate oneself" because they worked for you personally. It was absolutely crucial to you. Something entirely different was absolutely crucial to me. What is absolutely crucial to some randomly selected other person who is neither of us I will not claim to know. If this is something you care about, try everything. Find what works for you.

> you could write [...] but of course, this means you can't write

I found this rather difficult to read. You could write those expressions. They're legal C code. Whether they will have the expected semantics will depend on, well, what you expected.

The more general problem is code that relies too heavily on precedence rules in the first place. Precedence-related bugs and readability issues are easily avoided, just use parentheses. As I mentioned in another comment in this thread, some languages force the programmer to do this.
Still, I wouldn't consider "Chrome" as good software.

Let's be honest: web browsers are really bad. Overly complicated machines made to print images and text on the screen. The web got sideways long ago, first because it was cool to add crap in websites, then because it made profit and allowed monopolies to make more profit by moving everything to damn webapps. And finally it allows companies to screw users by renting software on the damn cloud.

And they profit by making it as accessible as possible, such that everyone and their dog can produce a crappy webapp that will show their ads or track their users.

Webtech is part of what makes software really bad, even if it was created by good engineers. Because people don't want quality: they want cheap new crap.

I've taken ibogaine/iboga root numerous times, and it is very difficult for me to see it ever being legalized. I'm not really keeping my eyes on the scene much lately, but more than just a few people have died from ibogaine. The amount required for the 3 days in bed 'flood dose' is actually rather toxic and hard on the system, even if you are otherwise healthy. It certainly can work for opiate addiction, major depression, but the risks may outweigh the benefits in many cases.
Ah, I see you've not encountered any performance magicians, sleight of hand tricks, etc.
Important to note that this model excels in reasoning capabilities.

But it was on purpose not trained on the big “web crawled” datasets to not learn how to build bombs etc, or be naughty.

So it is the “smartest thinking” model in weight class or even comparable to higher param models, but it is not knowledgeable about the world and trivia as much.

This might change in the future but it is the current state.
I like this and it’s immediately usable. May I ask you to make it so that I can reorder the boxes. Also could I have an option to have shorter boxes so that I can view 4 time zones without the need to scroll on a mobile screen?
Sadly, this is British Justice in action again. Alleged perpetrators circulating in certain levels of British society are apparently exempt from punishment, no matter what the crime. I doubt that Paula Vennell in her exalted position will ever receive any meaningful punishment, and likewise, I assume that Fujitsu will still somehow manage to retain attract clients.

Yes, the claim that the scientists' hacked-together code is well tested and even uses valgrind gave me pause. It's more likely there are no tests at all. They made a change, they saw that a linear graph became exponential, and they went bug hunting. But there's no way they have spotted every regression caused by every change.

A gradle dependency is a finished artifact. It gets added to the classpath, what could it break?

A gradle plugin could potentially break something, but a) you ain’t writing gradle plugins willy-nilly, b) if it’s a “big” one, it’s likely not gonna be that bad.
I have a feeling western society (on an abstract level) is trying hard to give people something to lose, thereby creating loss aversion. Be it straight-up capitalism, or caring for a family, or protecting the nation state. We seem hell-bent on keeping people living in fear, because so many things have already been built by the society, that it wants to protect them using its people. This leads me to...

When you have nothing to lose, taking risk is not risky. As societies progress, they probably meet an apex where the will to progress further is completely offset by the fear of losing what you already have. The sceptic in me feels this is the inevitable cycle of empires, but I'm sure the world has also seen many inflection points that turned out to be a "fake-out," and some new invention gives new hope for the future, again shifting the fear balance.

I think the Planet Fitness model is to appeal to non-gym-goers, and to also be cheap enough where people carry the membership year to year, because it’s not a big enough charge to hurt, while making the customer feel like they have some good intentions by having the membership.
Cargo-culting is about focusing on the process without fully understanding its purpose. Such as bureaucratic requirements for providing all data, software, parameters etc so that someone can reproduce exactly the same numbers with minimal effort.

Proper reproducible research is not like that. It's about providing sufficient details that other people in the field can extrapolate the rest. That they can use similar methods with similar data to achieve similar results.

Reproducing exactly the same result is not that valuable, as the "result" could be just an artifact of the specific data and specific methodology. Real validation depends on fully independent replications, with as little reuse of data and code as reasonably possible.
The thing I tried to hint at is this: When you approach an incline, you'll naturally push down the pedal to keep your speed. Thus, even if you don't articulate it that way, your model of the gas pedal has nothing to do with acceleration. Yes, "intake manifold" is ridiculous, I grant that, but it's much more likely that the model people develop has to do with something like "effort".
Looks great! Well, except on mobile it wastes a lot of vertical space, able to fit only two records on a screen.
