TSV are far superior to CSV as the separator is a TAB and not commas, semicolons or other weird stuff depending on your locale. Same for single and double quotes. Only thing to be aware are tsv created by Excel with newlines embedded in text fields, which are a huge PITA for almost all parsers.
As a social scientist, I'd question that. I have seen so much bad social science done in the Lancet that I groan when I hear the name. YMMV, because doctors are in general pretty dumb about social science; maybe it is a great journal in other fields.
At this point, you're just propping up and tearing down straw men—including your remarks about whether or not italics make an argument "more ironclad": nobody said it did. The italics are a response to your insistence in not engaging in the conversation you're ostensibly talking part in and trying instead to turn it into a different conversation that no one else is.

A Czech machinist friend of mine was forced to work for the nazis, he was in a ball bearing factory he used to take a fine file and make a tiny nick in the surface of a hardened ball in each box of 1 kilo. He dared not make more.
He figured each engine had about a 1/3rd chance of getting a bad ball - which would fail and ruin that moving part, perhaps even in the air? These were tiny balls. The larger ones were watched closely.

A current snapshot of the per vehicle profit of a luxury car manufacturer versus a mass market manufacturer tells us even less. Suffice to say that if they were to scale sales to hit the multiple of Toyota's annual profit level implied by their respective market caps, Tesla would need to be selling cars for a lot less than $40k...

I don't think AI-generated, personalised, movies would displace the market either. At least not in the forceable future. However to play devils advocate, there is a precedence for personalised stories that are hugely popular: gaming.

Maybe one day in the future, movies become a bit more like gaming. Kind of like "holo-novels" in Star Trek, where the story does adapt to suit the individual.

This isn't going to happen in the next 10 years though. Even technology aside, the various Hollywood unions wouldn't allow it.

If you look at the last big shift in the way society consumed content (from CDs to streaming) it took decades from the invention of Napster before anything like Spotify was successful. And that wasn't because the general public was slow to adopt. It was purely because distributors dragged their heals.
A JS standard library would be a drop in the bucket compared to the size and complexity of the DOM libraries and implementing a usably performant JS engine.

Yes it should be done carefully. There are also plenty of examples of how this can be done well, done by experienced engineers. For example, the Dart starndard library (https://dart.dev/libraries - core [1], collection [2] and async [3] in particular) is a very good model that would fit JS fairly well too (with some tweaks and removals)

Actual, obviously racist behavior like hiring people based on race? Or creating labels like “person of color” that imply being non-white is an important commonality between completely different groups?

I won’t go so far as to say “liberals are the real racists.” But I grew up as a brown kid in a 95% white Virginia town, where people were afraid to talk about or notice race. I never thought that 30 years later I’d be having attention drawn to my race in routine business settings in blue DC. I didn’t think Maryland liberals would be the reason my mixed kids see racial differences between me and my wife.

Urban liberals aren’t as bad as stormfront people, but they’re worse than “where are you really from” Iowa people. It’s not even close.
> derive reliable uncertainty estimates

That is very, very hard to do in an objective manner, as the current LLM benchmark gaming demonstrates.

Sure, you can deploy a smaller model to production to get real-world user data and feedback, but a) deploying a suboptimal model can give a bad first impression and b) the quality is still subjective and requires other metrics to be analyzed. Looking at prediction probabilities only really helps if you have a single correct output token, which isn't what LLM benchmarks test for.
It is true that you control your fate more when driving. Once the door shuts on the plane you have little ability to do anything other than get yourself arrested.

Literally from the first beta release of safari more than a decade ago 3rd party cookies were not allowed by default.

ITP is not about 3rd party cookies, ITP is first and second party cookies where people use indirect load mechanisms to circumvent 3rd party cookie blocking. e.g when people load Facebook buttons and such like directly into a page the 3rd party cookie isn't available in JS but the resource load for the Facebook button allows Facebook (or whoever) to return the tracking identifier directly to the host page so that it can update its own tracking information. ITP (and similar in Firefox) prevents that by saying some variation of "if I see requests to domain X from lots of different domains, we should assume that's being used for tracking purposes, and so not every request to domain X from a domain Y should be completely isolated from queries to domain X from any other domain" so now once you decide the domain X is used for tracking purposes you don't have a "cookies for X" database you have "cookies for X when loaded from Y", "cookies for X when loaded from Z", etc.

What google is talking about is not anything approaching ITP, they're literally talking about something even more basic: JS on domain A can't directly interact with cookie information on domain B, which is the 3rd party blocking that is what Safari and WebKit have always done by default.
It's not that simple.

Netscape died because Microsoft bundled their browser with the operating system and made it free for commercial use, what essentially led to the huge antitrust case.

Only after that did browsers become utilities in the OS, with open source engines like Konqueror's KHTML (which later became WebKit, which later became Blink) and Netscape/Mozilla's Gecko
> I don't need 12 different implementations for sorting on Vue/React/[insert spa framework of the month].

This feels like a bit of a strawman, since sorting is already in the standard library and there aren’t in fact popular sorting packages for each framework (that would in fact be ridiculous).

If you want to start a real debate though, bring up date/time pickers.

There are multiple date picker, time picker and datetime picker packages for each framework, and there are debates with good points on all sides about whether the browser-provided pickers are sufficient, or whether this is an area where a level of customization is needed and what that level is keeps changing as people discover new ways of designing date/time pickers and new use cases arise that require different tradeoffs. It’s both really frustrating but also kind of understandable.

Embraer was a smaller manufacturer, much smaller than Boeing. The had some success, but it was tough for them to compete with Boeing, especially because Boeing bullied them through regulators. They outmanoeuvred Boeing by letting Airbus buy them for 1 dollar. Now Embraer planes are rebranded as Airbus 200 series

I don't want an accountant, all I want is the system other countries have where the government fills out the forms for you and all you do is sign; this is what everybody has been asking for, for years, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. If they can't or won't give us that then there is no cause for celebration. My taxes aren't complicated but I detest paperwork and have anxiety over all of it. I don't hire an accountant for fun, I do it because I don't want to fill in the damn forms!

If I have to fill out the forms myself, then it's utterly pointless. I could already do that if that's what I wanted. Not rhetorical: what is even new about this, being able to do it without using paper and pen? Big fucking whoop, thanks for nothing IRS.

I think that all employers are now required to input the T4/remuneration information in a way that CRA can machine-process it, which allows them to make it available to third-party systems like TurboTax or SimpleTax.

The capability of "being social" is so important that crows play social games, and their brains are not much bigger than an eyedropper. Homosexuality and polygamy are present in all the species where being social is not just a state machine orchestrated by pheromones (i.e., ants). It is as if Mother Nature would use all the tools in its arsenal to clump together individuals with enough shared interests, and hijacking the mechanisms of sexual pleasure for that goal is a hell of a temptation for our Mother.

In humans, the one that brings the most joy to the collective is likely to enjoy others' presence and company, even in non-orthodox says. Being social will afford that person survival when somebody more ill-tempered may fall off a ravine in the middle of the winter, not to be found until the next thaw. And there was an awfully long age when all hominids had to guide them were their genes and instincts.

In terms of evolution time, we invented two seconds ago systems of belief and moral codices. They made us so successful that there wasn't enough land anymore to sustain us. Rather than optimizing for individual survival, we started optimizing for the survival of our groups and the systems of beliefs that clumped them. And for their armies.

If you live in a place which is mostly deserts, with scarce water and productive land, it would make sense to keep your population numbers low. Unless you are planning to invade your neighbor for their land, or you are expecting your neighbor to invade you at any moment. In that situation, you have little choice but to be the one with the biggest army and the most sexually frustrated, violent males ready to perish in a blaze of glory. Sodom is just a little off from the Dead Sea, and our crops don't like to grow together with salt statues.
Why are you not comparing profit? Or taking into account the debt levels of each company? There is more to valuation than revenues
JetBlue has an all Airbus and Embraer 175 fleet. No matter what you book on B6 mainline, you're getting a comfortable airliner.

Virgin America had an all-Airbus fleet...until Alaska bought them and ditched the Airbus leases because 'Merica-Seattle-Boeing or something. (I'm sure they justified it as mechanical/maintenance efficiencies from operating a single type, but they made a bad mistake staying all-in on a failing company's product.)

Delta's famously agnostic - they fly whatever is net cheapest for them, even if it's an old airframe (that they own outright) that sucks fuel (rather than a more fuel-efficient plane that they lease). Boeings got cheap after the MAX problems. On the plus side, Delta is a very well run operation with competent maintenance.

And then there's Southwest. All Boeing, bad maintenance history. A culture that hates change and new technology.
What are some of those directories? I know exactly what you mean but (perhaps because it isn’t in Google’s interest) I can’t actually find any by searching for “small web directories” or other indie web terms.
So why would the public opinion even matter.

I'm confused by your original point.

No one picks a flight based on what plane takes them there. Its Departure/destination/time/price/connections.
So, when your boss is asking you to design a better way of hiding the waste products from your industrial projects that you know could hurt folks-- that's a good place where having some ethical principles might help.

Without those principles, people are often left with "I am just doing my job" and "this is what any person would do, right"?

Whereas a lot of us won't do certain things because, say, if everybody did them they'd be self contradictory (Kant) or when we look at the overall utility of dumping toxic waste into a river we might it has some larger negative consequences for society (Mill).
And I was expressing that it isn't that shiny new tooling that attracts users, nor is it the "new" stuff. Nobody uses python because of jetbrains, or whatever. It has nothing to do with IDE support.

Jetbrains has support because python is popular, and not the other way around.

I was also expressing that Python is an old, almost ancient language, and yet it more used than languages that, by your reasoning, had better "tooling" in the sense that you are using it. Making the point that it has nothing to do with the "age" of the language, the fact that it is perceived as new, or having better tools.

Python isn't popular because of its tooling, but despite it.

It is popular because it makes it easy to leverage the ecosystem and get things done.

It seems that other people understood as much.

Still grinding my way through the Goldbox games. Same party as I started with in Pool of Radiance ~1995 is now somewhere halfway(?) through Pools of Darkness. Not sure if I am going to try to complete the rest of the Goldbox after that, or continue with something more modern. My queue of CRPGs to play "once I'm done with the Goldbox games" is getting ridiculous.

Put all the games in a git repo, scripts to launch the games in Dosbox, all the game-files and documents installed from GOG (originally the ones from the old Wizworx CDROM). Version-control is great, since there is a limit to number of saves in the game. And keeping notes of every thing I do, every time I load or save, really helps keep my sanity in the branching alternative time-lines that are created when savescumming through a CRPG.

> About 130 mechanics at 10 Tesla garages across Sweden walked off the job on Oct. 27 over the company’s refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement

This is false reporting, only 10 to 30 of the 130 mechanics "walked off the job". The rest like their stock options and performance based pay hikes instead of the union table rates for all.

Recently the NYT finally said only a few dozen are striking. Sad to see previously trustworthy news outlets like AP resorting to abject fake news to smear Tesla and spread a narrative. And it's spread and repeated on places like HN with no critical thinking or research.
I literally worked on the webkit for most of a decade. I also worked on and developed a lot of ITP.

ITP is not 3rd party cookie blocking.

3rd party cookie blocking has been the default in safari and webkit since literally the first beta.

ITP is a response to companies like google and Facebook developing techniques to circumvent 3rd party cookie blocking as it became more popular (due to Firefox, Safari, and mostly iOS safari). Google is not developing an equivalent to ITP, it's literally flipping a single flag that they decided to turn off when they launched chrome because they're an advertising company that was dependent on them.

You need to understand here: Google is not working on releasing anything equivalent to ITP or whatever Firefox calls their version, they're working on something much more basic, and it's something they have already circumvented (which is why Safari and Firefox have their complex ITP or whatever mechanisms).
...so basically the same just named to sound remarkably different. One more exit and it is not at all the problematic MAX anymore! ;)

Surprised they still call it 737 then. :)
This is spreadsheet brain thinking – likely the same MDD dorks used to justify cutting corners.

There's no nuance when people are dying. None whatsoever.

If someone can't agree to that sort of black-and-white thinking, probably they should be working in an industry where innocent lives aren't dependent upon sound decision-making.
> Norquist considers a public filing option a tax increase by stealth and opposes it automatically.

When phrased that way, it sounds ridiculous. But those are the author's words, not Norquist's or ATR's.

What Norquist and ATR want is for people to be aware of taxes. In their words (from the article): "More than any other public policy, the way the government raises revenue—how much, at what rates, under what circumstances, from whom, and for whom—has the greatest impact on our economy’s performance."

And even the article admits that making taxes easier to file has the side effect of "decoupling public sentiment and policy changes" (that is, making "tax increases by stealth" easier):

> ATR [Norquist runs Americans for Tax Reform] is institutionally skeptical of withholding, because they believe that withholding allows one to increase taxes by stealth. I don’t think it is excessively partisan to say that, if one phrases that claim a bit more neutrally as “withholding increases tax compliance by decoupling public sentiment and policy changes,” the people who designed the withholding system would say “I’m glad the National Archives makes our design documents so accessible. We wrote them to be read!”
I notice this a lot in everyday life, with things like getting a text while heading out the door, answering it, then forgetting there were other tasks and leaving sans keys and wallet
It's not a safety check bypass. Boeing wants to make pilots responsible for turning off the deicer within 5 min of ice disappearing to prevent the flawed engines breaking apart in flight.

This is actually the argument of a work of fiction I'm working on, and I'm very curious about your chain of reasoning.

That is valid and that’s why I am not quite No Boeing.

But it’s a last choice for me, if the choice exists and I am willing to put up with some inconveniences.

Especially given that this seems to be a manufacturing problem and not a problem with the series itself, does have me worried about other planes even on those other lines if it is a fundamental issue with Boeing in recent years.
So could you list those problems?

Won't help if there are issues at each step. Design, manufacturing, certification, pilot training, "self-certification" etc. Even if they start from scratch - until they fix their corporate culture the outcomes will stay the same.

That was Bombardier, not Embraer.

It's also not clear at all that that was a win for Bombardier, other than giving a free win to Airbus to spite Boeing. Given up the project that they were relying on for the future direction of the company for a nominal sum?

Airbus made out like bandits, and the government of Quebec cut their losses, but Bombardier almost certainly lost as badly as Boeing in the C-Series/A200 outcome.
I believe I was the only one who found it weird or noteworthy. But it was locked for years.
Spreadsheets are kind of interesting tech. Because the user is more-or-less directly building the data dependency graph, I’d expect them to map better to actual hardware (massively parallel in so many dimensions) better than a sequential procedural language like C.

But, they are not very fashionable.

It would be fun to have a pipeline to compile a spreadsheet, that produces an executable. Potential outputs: cpu, gpu, fpga. Haha.
