> You can rent a better party room than your dining room for very little.

I think this depends on what you value. I've never seen a party room available for rent that was better than a home, personally. The fanciest party room you can rent may look fancier, and if that's the important thing to you, then that's a great solution. Others, however, may place greater value on what you give up when you rent: convenience, intimacy, fewer restrictions on what you can do, etc.
Then don't complain what what you don't know, I guess.

The article in Science has more details, including a higher resolution variant of the bluish artistic rendition from the right upper corner.

The jaws have been preserved only partially.

The jaws of even a giant arrow worm would not be very dangerous for your toes, because they are designed to hook any prey, to prevent its escaping, like also the teeth of many fish, and not for cutting or crushing. Nevertheless, it seems that the jaws of this ancestor of the arrow worms were less similar to those of the modern arrow worms than to the jaws of the so-called gnathostomulids, so they might have had a stronger crushing action than in modern arrow worms.

Yeah, that's why the little commuter style cars don't really sell in the US. Sure, we normally do <40, but sometimes even "local" means going to a nearby town and doing 80-150 miles. And DCFC is not necessarily nearby, and not necessarily fast for a car with only 50-80 miles of range.

That's a big part of why the American consumer really wants a 3 digit number starting with 3. Anything else is a much harder sell.

As EVs become more common, that might shift to a 3 digit number starting with 2. Tesla is already having some success here with the base Model 3, which is by far their best value.

Perhaps not coincidentally, it road trips pretty decently too.

> Israel annihilating Hamas

This is a pipe dream. For every killed Hamas member there are two sons or brothers who are ready to pick up arms. This looks like a fools errand if you ask me. Isreael appear to think that if they just get rid of the last training camp, the last tunnel or the last rocket ramp, then all will be quiet. I honestly don't think they really believe that. I think the campaign is a populism fueled killing spree for a domestic audience. The collateral and civilian damage isn't a side effect but a feature. And they know Hamas isn't weakened long term by it but the opposite. But they do it anyway because of domestic politics.

UK inheritance tax is indeed based on flat GBP amounts, and it would indeed have been less overhead to make it ratios/pegged to something.

But these get reviewed and adjusted often, so the assumption that inflation would impact this is a bit premature.

> You should have the right to gift whatever you want to your descendants, and the general public should have no cut from your hard work and the decision not to consume it all.

Yes that's the problem - This is not at all compelling to me, and vice versa I am not compelling to you. I feel that your side needs to be extra compelling too, so as to prove that it is better to take from another tax than from inheritance tax.

It is very much in my interest for me to be convinced by you. I want to believe :)
Advances in Mind-Decoding Technologies Raise Hopes (and Worries)
But I think it has a lot to do with how profit is made: if you sell machinery for example that has a software part you are a cost factor, even if software is required to run it. Think of it as an in-house supplier that could even be outsourced. Not that I think it is feasible, but upper management does. And as long as they do, you won't rise far building software in such a company...
I'm going through a similar thing. Next week our procurement is arriving, but most likely majority of the nodes will sit in a box for a while before they can figure out how to power them...

Also, this involves a UK university where it would takes forever to upgrade the power delivery to the building/floor/room. There's no planned upgrade whatsoever so people just need to make do with what we have.
Even assuming $6/gal and just 20mpg, it's still about 83 miles/day(for 20 work/commuting days a month) or 55 miles/day (with 30 commuting days a month). Assuming a generous 60mph as the avg speed for the commute, that's about 1day/month sitting in a car. More likely avg speed of 30mph and that's 2days a month in the car.
That is excessive driving for an average person/commute. I presume op was likely exaggerating to make a point.

Anyway, for any EV owners, a more likely scenario is a person spending about $100-$150 for fuel per month. Doesn't buying a brand new $50000 EV's as opposed to a $30000 IC car (potentially used), and the insurance/registration costs offset the gains made by fuel savings?

> There are many CRTs in your TV or monitor. They are each aimed to deliver electrons to a precise spot on the back of your TV where they excite the phospor in the tiny spot on your TV that the electron hits. Magnets are used to guide the electrons to that precise (and tiny) spot. The excited phosphor molecules at that spot then emit light. All the CRTs working together generate the picture on your TV.

That's incorrect: there aren't many CRTs in a TV or monitor. There's just one in monochrome displays or three in color displays. That paragraph even seems to imply that there is one CRT per dot. I don't think you would even need magnets to guide electrons (much less one set of magnets for all the CRTs): just aim each CRT at the correct location. Seems a weird misconception from someone who calls themselves a physicist.
The equation is:

A * (W / A) ** 4

So, a 2 ton car is 1 unit of damage; a fully loaded 18 wheeler is 20,000 units. On top of that, we expect a 30 mile/day drive from the car, but more like 300+ from the truck. So, throwing in mileage:

car = 30 units
truck = 6 million units

If trucks are just 1% of the vehicles on the road, they'd still be 99.9% of the damage.

Dump trucks are even worse.

Aren't you completely discounting the friction inherent in ownership of a vehicle?

I also used to think like this, but ultimately it reduces your spontaneity / flexibility / optionality. What if you want to host a gathering last minute, but it’s a busy time for restaurants? What if you sold your car because your city has a car share, and last minute you want to get out of town for the holiday (just like everyone else)?

You obviously shouldn’t pay to cover every edge case, but if you can it’s worth paying for the ones you value.
So just running with it, what’s the utility? Last time people were hyping up transmission systems but that doesn’t seem to be in the cards for freezer temp superconductors I’m guessing.
Niedermeyer is a pathetic member/leader of “TSLAQ”, a group of people that think all of Tesla sales are fake, that Tesla is a large scale financial fraud like Madoff, and other completely insane theories. He has made it his full time job (literally) to disparage Tesla and other EV manufacturers.

Yes.

It's amazing how many people commenting here effectively refuse to acknowledge that there are ways (and more than one!) in which ICE cars are better than EVs and want to believe that no one could rationally decide on different trade-offs.

I own and EV, and I love it. But pretending the paradigm shift comes with no undesirable trade-offs is absurd. And wanting everyone to come to a uniform decision about what they value is a great example of technocratic tyranny.
The Remote Working Parent's Survival Guide
No, it's most high level languages, in general. Pascal or Standard ML for that matter, would suffer just as C does.

Languages like C and Pascal really demand that you have a nice, cheap stack. Classically, a function call means pushing all the parameters to the stack, and then the return address, and then jumping to the function, then pulling all the parameters off the stack, and pushing the return value on the stack, then modifying the stack pointer to drop the parameters, and then reading the return address off the stack.

Neither the Z80 or 6502, have instructions that provide an efficient stack, which works with multi-byte data. You end up constantly manipulating the stack pointer (usually for a software-implemented stack) with slow 8-bits-at-a-time arithmetic. Painful.

The PDP-11's instruction set in comparison, provides not just one, but up to seven, flexible 16-bit stacks.

I like the direction you're heading. Roughly:

1) state machine esque predictable function stack

2) global rather than nested state

3) relational model rather than explicit memory objects

4) serialize to disk as builtin

I think

1) is a goal to aim for for the programmer, but when a stack is needed a stack is useful, so should be provided by the language

2) is a good point, encapsulation is a good support for programmers, but encapsulation in the debugger is unwanted; so hopefully the language provides easy support for this

3) Nice idea. Depends on the application domain. Maybe pointers, maybe relational is more useful depending on the situation. Formal verification, err... An excuse for pointers would be: code a solution close to the problem is best for verifying problem->solution->proof which may mean pointers, although verifying solution->proof is better for relational. A good idea to explore...

4) Unequivocal yes

TDD Sucks, Try TDL
I've only appreciated the value of TDD once I started working on the Hackages Learning Platform: Jams for Devs.

On personal projects, I wouldn't even dare add tests. I'm alone, and no one else but me will ever touch that code. I must remember that the version of me who wrote that code today will differ in a week.

On product code, I wanted to move fast, validate the use case, and then refactor until I found the right angle.

The refactorisation part was painful. I had to keep the context of the feature in memory instead of relying on my tests to carry me forward with confidence.

The hidden costs were there. Users were complaining, and the experience could have been better.

Once I added more people to these projects, things would break.

I have worked hard during the last 6 months to fix this. I vow to continue the process of mastering Testing as a way to improve my services.

Try the jam below and appreciate how TDD can be fun:
https://hck.gs/MjVHNZn

PS: I'm not trying to convince you to adopt TDD. TDD is not the magic wound that will make your code better. It will definitely make your refactoring session much more effortless.

Me? Well, the Americans don't let me vote, what with being British and living in Berlin (the original, not any of the 26 places of the same name in the USA), so the best I can do is point out to any Americans who feel like listening that there are better ways to design cities than the ways they've grown up with, and that "15 minute cities" are not the dystopian conspiracy theories that some seem to fear they are.
95% of the country is completely undeveloped. The problem isn't a lack of space, but too many people wanting to live in the most desirable eras. Many people don't seem to realize that the housing boom in the 50s and 60s wasn't people just building these buildings in ultra-premium areas, but building them in cheap, relatively undesirable areas. But the mass of people moving to these areas ended up making them desirable, and ultimately also not very cheap.

This effect was so substantial that from 1950 to 1960 the population of most major cities actually declined [1], in spite of a rapidly booming population!

>> Late 70s and 80s: forget BASIC, we had Pascal and C

Well for once, PCs were ridiculously expensive back in the day so that rules out using the PC version of Borland Pascal / C. I had them in school, but we had mostly CP/M based machines and only two PCs. A 286 AT and an 8086 XT. If I recall correctly we had Borland Pascal 5.0 and it worked blazingly fast on both machines. Then some dumbass decided to upgrade to Borland Pascal 6.0 and wiped out 5.0 from the XT machine (lack of space, maybe? but mostly supidity) and replaced it with 6.0. It was horrendously slow. Like I got my first look into today's "enterprise" compile times :) Pressing F5 (or F9 or something to compile, I don't recall the exact key) took about a minute to start showing the compilation dialog. Several more minutes to compile. Compared to instantaneous on 5.0. Rendered the whole thing unusable on the XT.

On the other hand I hated working on school's computers. They were overcrowded, too few for too many students and I always had barely enough time to type the examination programs (I was studying computer science) needed to get my grades, never enough time to fiddle and experiment. Or game.

So for that I used my dear home computer, a ZX-Spectrum compatible clone manufactured locally: http://retroit.ro/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/hc-85-maro-678x...

Initially I did BASIC but as time progressed, I needed more speed and interpreted BASIC was hopelessly slow. I wanted to program TETRIS actually :) So I switched to Pascal, more precisely HiSoft Pascal for ZX Spectrum. Here's the book I learned from, there was no Internet back then so the book was quintesential: https://imgur.com/a/qweDG2E

Actually that's also where I learned and understood memory management. Linked lists, allocation, deallocation. Before C, for me there was Pascal. One thing that blew my mind and didn't understood it until I programmed and ran it with my own hands was recursively referring to the defined structure ... in the very structure. You know the C definition:

typedef struct node {
int val;
struct node * next;
} node_t;

How the heck can you refer to something that's not yet defined in a way, I was thinking.

So, I eventually implemented that TETRIS in Pascal and I've no idea how I did it without a debugger... I guess with print statements and just thinking with pen an paper. Worked well enough although it did crash on occasion and I never figured out why :)

Anyhow, sometime later I got my hands on HiSoft's compiler for BASIC. Very cool thing, you'd load the compiler from cassette then you'd write your program in the regular ZX-Spectrum BASIC and then RANDOMIZE USR <some number> (address of loaded compiler) and the thing would put machine code somewhere in the remaining memory and provide you with the address and size. So you could save the machine code directly on cassette and run it directly next time. And all that in less than 40Kb of memory for BASIC code, compiler code, resulting compiled program and stacks etc. Believe it or not, I rewrote that TETRIS in BASIC and was able to compile and run it. Bonus it never crashed, I guess the BASIC version was inherently more stable.
Yeah. I was going from memory and this was about 5 years ago. Yours sounds more correct.
I don't disagree, but I think my point still stands.
Funnily enough, I had an interesting discussion with a client's lawyer (who, to their credit, is reasonably tech-savvy) before the holidays. I had redlined "FIPS 140-2" from their contract language. I'll omit the context, because it's too nuanced to be discussed here, but the long and short of it was that she wanted to know why I did that.

I informed her that since FIPS 140-2 is about physical properties of key creation and management, all the relevant layers in a cloud-only solution are simply in the wrong scope. And I added that I am allergic to the string "FIPS" in general. Even having it present in official contract language makes people leap into weird assumptions about supported and allowed algorithms.

Her response? "Oh, that makes sense."
That's a good point and I agree totally with you. But I don't think that this software will be built from scratch by the engineers.

In my head, it's more like a framework. Think Rails or NextJS already setup with some conventions on how to integrate components and AI together.
