Your second link also gives an alternative explanation of people being motivated economically, not environmentally. And quote from the first link:

> 91% say they want to replace short-distance flights by fast, low-polluting trains in collaboration with neighbouring countries

See how a train being fast was bundled into the question.

Let’s forget about environment for a moment. Going by plane is a lot less convenient, when you can take a train, due to needing to show up a lot earlier at the airport, going through security and all kinds of overhead. So when trains work, i.e. they’re fast, reliable and affordable, nobody needs environmental concerns to use them.

For me to be convinced that someone is taking a train for environmental reasons, the train would need to be more expensive for them than going by plane. Because otherwise everyone likes to see themselves in a good light and say how much their choices are dictated by ethics, when in reality the wallet is often a more potent motivator than environmental concerns. Just like every employer likes to say that they hire and promote based on merit, but then it turns out that on average taller people get hired and promoted more often. And the employers will still believe that they weren’t influenced by that. Just like travellers will overestimate the influence of environmental concerns on their choice of mode of transport. In both cases it’s because people like to see themselves in good light. And same way most of the people who say they’d prefer to buy products produced in fair worker conditions, won’t actually buy the products whose prices reflect that. Declarations are cheap. Particularly feel-good declarations.

> Gopi Krishna is the canonical case illustrating the dangers, which is likely one reason the meditation was kept secret.

Curious to learn more, kept secret by who? And why was he the lucky one to receive that information?

Just spent the last hour reading his work here: https://www.ecomall.com/gopikrishna/. Sounds like any other charlatan and guru. From his last interview, seems like a lot of his foundation comes from the same principle that Godel invokes: "Now, please tell me, can such a vast creation be purposeless? Can such a vast creation come out of nothing? Can such a vast creation ruled by laws be all composed of dead, insensitive matter? The very idea of being - existence - - comes from the mind. A rock or a mountain or an ocean has no idea of existence, this existence comes from intelligence, and the author of the universe must be intelligent. If we didn't have an intelligent creator, there would be no purpose to this existence. There must be a purpose".

Additionally, the site's claims are frankly funny:
"All of these books are scientific wonders—miracles! Each is packed with new information not available to scientists and scholars. It was easier to sequence the human genome than it would be for any person to write the books Gopi Krishna wrote.What do you think will happen as soon as thousands of men and women begin to manipulate human DNA for the “fun of it?” It will easy to do. Wait just two more decades, less than 20 years, and hundreds, if not thousands of bright, young boys and girls will be able to clone just about any animal (including humans). Who will stop this from being done? The reason why Gopi Krishna’s miraculous writings are not known by more than a few is because they are beyond the grasp, or comprehension, of our many of our present-day intellectuals."

Are non-believers are too stupid to comprehend his great works?
With today's technology, Congressmen should not be in Washington DC. Their only office needs to be in their home district that they represent. Set their pay based on a multiple of median income in their district. This should solve the pay issue and will get them focused on their constituents instead of special interest.
I’ll again plug the P9 network file sharing protocol (from Plan 9) as a fuse/smb/nfs/webdav alternative that is simple to implement and fairly performant, used by Microsoft to provide file access across the WSL boundary with little overhead. I didn’t know about it until a few years ago and people I tell are always surprised to learn about it.
I don't really see this dynamic working in rail. In Japan, many of the companies operate trains on two gauges.

People read too much into this, it's mostly just historical reasons. Most slow Japanese rail has a quite narrow gauge which is less suitable for high speed trains. The interoperability benefit is limited since you typically won't want to operate both Shinkanzens and local trains on the same rail.

Having different gauges provides no real benefit. It's just that unifying gauges provides too little benefit to justify the massive investment required. I expect this to be the same for most other countries. (and for similar problems like different railway electrification systems within/across countries)
That is a mouthful of a headline.

I don't really understand your point. Doesn't basically every app store in the world on any platform require an account? It seems like a fairly basic requirement for a functioning system (people need to be able to reinstall the apps they bought on a new device).

And if having an app store that doesn't require an account is actually somehow desireable, is your suggestion that Google somehow strong-armed Samsung into requiring an account rather than going with the ostensibly superior option of not requiring accounts? Or is the suggestion that the store should be using some other account than a Samsung account, but they weren't allowed to do that.
But, isn't it a fact that the monetization would be limited because the viewing is limited? I can't believe that YouTube would leave the video accessible after a claimant tried to take it down.

I've been a gym rat for almost 20 years now, and I'm probably the worst customer for gyms. I only workout at 24*7 gyms and being an early bird I get there at 430 and I have pretty much the whole gym for myself. I am there 6 days a week and I always shower at the gym. Further, I use the corporate discounts available to join the memberships. With all that, it comes down to approx. $50 a month for membership and I used to think that it was on the higher side (to be fair post covid it increased from $40 to $50). But reading this article was an eye opener, I guess I need to thank all those people who subsidize my gym fees, and I am now more accepting of the membership fees.

Finally I must add, all the friends (more like acquaintances) you make at the gym are absolutely crucial to motivate oneself and also just have a positive social interaction. I guess that perk of the gym membership is not even quantifiable.

I feel really thankful and privileged to have gyms around now, I will never take them for granted going forward.

If you want to learn how modern computers work, you should probably give up on the idea of building something yourself - since any modern architecture relies on busses, peripherals and processor functionality that are way beyond hand soldered kits. Get a Raspberry Pi and accept that even light switches run Linux these days!

More seriously, since the time of 8-bit CPUs, hardware has essentially split into deeply embedded system on chip designs (often ARM or RiscV cores) or monster multi-core 64 bit CPUs. The intervening 16 and 32 bit processors have largely been consigned to history (genuinely a shame - but that's the reason there are so few kits based on them). Ironically, it's the old Z80 and 6502 that are still being manufactured today in volume and at low cost as a convenient building block for simple "computer" devices.

So, no - this sort of kit does not teach you how your M3 Mac works - but it does provide you with a system that you can completely understand and control, that you can build your own peripherals for, that you can write a complete operating system for, or games and programs, that you can have the satisfaction of building yet still has the basic architecture of any modern computer. And for the sort of task you're likely to undertake, it's surprisingly capable.

Alternatively, if you want hardware with a simple programming model that abstracts the difficult stuff away, get an Arduino. That's really the choice you're making - either 'close to the metal' coding on older CPUs, or the modern approach of abstracting everything into software. Both are equally valid.

A similar gripe I have with a lot of games is the lack of local multiplayer support in PC ports of games (even ones that have local multiplayer in their console versions).

Nintendo is still King when it comes to local multiplayer but they unfortunately haven’t upgraded their hardware in quite a while and the switch was a little anemic even for its time.

It has led to a weird situation where for most games it’s only really feasible for us to play together if we are hours apart and playing over a network. Back in the ps2 / Xbox 360 era it felt like almost every game had a local split screen mode.
Letting yards fail may be the most politically sensitive change. It will be a disaster if the Navy decides to toughen up on yards but waits until the ship is delivered in poor condition to lay the hammer down. The earlier Naval officers are in the yards and shops identifying problems, the less painful changes for the shipyard will be. Companies can fire bad managers or exit the business while some value remains.

The bottom line is getting officers out of their offices. The rest will follow.

Tough love.
> Closed-sourced native UI is a fragile place compared to the predictable JavaScript runtime of the browser.

Is that really the case with Apple dev? I'm genuinely curious.

I wound up extremely tired of the continuous moving target of web dev - especially in terms of x-browser compat, and very intentionally avoided it as much as possible professionally. The likes of WinForms, WPF (the Silverlight subset is still the best UI framework that I've used), GTK, and QT were significantly less frustrating - dare I say enjoyable.

It bothered me a while for "short" boolean expressions to have a linter expect parens, where I'd simultaneously expect everyone with a high school degree to understand the implicit operator precedence.

Then, since my first bug having been merged that was caused by a && vs || operator precedence mistake, I like my parens-always ESLint rule (or whatever exactly it was called).

Even redundant parens can start to look as pleasent as indents, after getting used to them.

In short, I think expressions like (a && b || c && d || e) are a footgun and linters should forbid them. Parens fit well with logical thinking, similar to relative clauses in language.
I had a membership in NYC. When I moved to Florida, I forgot to cancel before I left. So I called them up to cancel, and they said I had to be there in person.

You'd think that telling them that I had moved 20 hours away would have made them budge, but nope. I had multiple phone conversations with them before sending a legal threat, which finally prompted them to "make an exception for me." Ridiculous.
Indeed, Apple customers are quite a big market of course, but as an indie dev especially, there are more markets to bring your products and services to. That is why I use frameworks like Flutter which work everywhere, even if they are worse than Apple's developer platforms (and this is subjective even still). The upside is simply too great to lock myself to only one platform.

Too late Red Hat, we already have dumped our CentOS fleet (thousands of hosts) for another distro. Will never trust IBM/RedHat.

A personal trainer I had at a very low rate (about $35/month in 2015) Manhattan gym confided in me that the place had something like 10X more active memberships than they could ever fit into the gym, even if everyone came at a uniform time distribution once every other day. They knew empirically that they could basically get away with overselling a service (adequate time and space to use the facility) than they could actually provide, because as the article says, most people just come 3 or4 times and then give up, but they've already signed up for a yearly rate.
Gödel lived from 1906 to 1978.

You also seem to be rationalizing an assumption that there were no atheists thousands of years ago, and yet there were.

There's no reason to believe that our critical thinking powers are any stronger today than they were in the past few thousand years, certainly when it comes to metaphysics. To me, at least, the relative prevalence of various beliefs through recored history suggests something very different about how people of any period, including our own, find and adopt knowledge.

It is interesting that he elevates the use case of computer science education as the most important use case for a programming language to satisfy. It seems to presage his later works, including Oberon.
I once implemented a logical expression evaluator to be used as filters on a search page. My boss tested it and filed a bug because he expected OR to have higher precedence than AND. I pointed him to a page with the rules and told him that he could use parenthesis if he wanted to modify the order of precedence. He was sort of convinced but never closed the ticket. Every release he would move it to the next release.
I think most people agree "a*x**b + c" is more clear than "(a*(x**b))+c".
Or "a+b+c+d" is more clear than "a+(b+(c+d))".

Why are we happy to avoid parentheses for these operations but not for && and ||? Probably because we are all really used to the precedences for + and *.

So at the end of the day, what's more clear depends on How familiar the engineers working on your code are with a given set of operators.

They've been using that symbol on the Command key for the last 40 years. It's probably safe to call it "well-known" by now.

> Isn’t iMessage a service, not a protocol?

It's a service and a protocol and a client application.

But it should be possible for a third party to make an interoperating client application using the same protocol, and then it could connect to any service implementing that protocol.

Obviously if you want to be selective in who can use your service then you should create a protocol that supports some kind of federation so that each user's service can forward messages to another service if the two endpoints don't use the same one. Email works like this, for example.

Interesting! However, it's important to note that S3 Select isn't ideal for handling large-scale data scans, as this can lead to exorbitant costs. In contrast, Databend(https://github.com/datafuselabs/databend) utilizes S3 primarily for storage purposes. Key functionalities like bloom filter indexing, min-max indexing, aggregating indexing, join reordering, and filter pushdown are all managed within the query layer. This approach optimizes performance and cost-efficiency, particularly when dealing with substantial amounts of data.

That's just how capitalism works. If an employer can profitably exploit workers then they will do so without any hesitation. Otherwise, it is impossible to generate profits.

Capitalism persists because no one really cares if instead of an employer paying you $180k a year you were getting paid $10k and doing the same amount of work. The ideal type of market for capitalism is basically global because then everything can be bought and sold at the global market price which is supposed to be the best price possible.

So if programming is really worth $10k in some part of the world then it would be foolish for someone not to take advantage of that and then take the difference in arbitrage as profits. This would all be better in a global technocratic panopticon very much like the large scale version of the panoptic computronium cathedral. The real endpoint of capitalism is the panoptic global computroniom cathedral as the best type of market clearing house for all "products".
