Cross-OS fs performance is a problem, especially latency wise. It’s the same with parallels, virtualbox, vmware, across just any fs. Or, you can have problems with hardlinks as well.

I personally use mutagen to sync host and vm and it works great.

Pine tar ruins car roofs all the time, road tar on paint, etc. Comparing a ford f150 to a ford maverick, on the underbody and protection, the maverick is already rusting so quick compared due to lack of protection to keep the price down.

I've always wondered why car reviews sites don't actually review stuff that matters more to longevity and use, rust protection, frame coating, exposed parts, skid plates, wheel wells (felt/plastic/etc), common costs and repair times for (quarter panels, common parts that fail, belts, hoses, etc), audio quality, window noise (acoustic glass vs normal), suspension, etc.

Tesla cars have had major water and dirt issues collecting in its underbody, but its a car, so dirt and gravel roads really are bad on it.

If you are only ever doing one thing at a time, then async doesn't do you any good, which is why people like to use sync libraries when they can't make use of it, and why libraries might want to provide a sync and an async version.

Async is useful when you want to have a bunch of things happening (approximately) "at the same time" on a single thread.

With async you can await on two different SpotifyResults at the same time without multithreading. When each one is ready, the runtime will execute the remainder of the function that was awaiting. This means the actual HTTP requests can be in flight at the same time.
I’ve moved a lot and have cancelled memberships at at least 10 gyms that I can remember. Some were easier than others, but none of them where prohibitively difficult to the point where it couldn’t be done.

The worst one, which was very unique, was when the gym had just change hands and I was looking to cancel on the guys first day and he didn’t want to lose anyone. We (me, him, and some other trainer who was his mentor) talked for probably 3 hours. From our talk, I was also a bit of a unique situation, and I don’t think they would have talked to other people for as long. I was also being nice, I could have just drew and hard line and walked out. He ended up giving me 3 months free and a few free training sessions… then I went back when that was running out and cancelled when he wasn’t there in about 3 minutes.

The second worse was maybe a 10 minute conversation (Lifetime). The others weren’t enough to remember. Some I cancelled by sending an email.

Even if you aren’t moving, just tell them you’re moving and there are no affiliated gyms nearby. It’s not like they are going to check. They can’t really argue with that.
Photovoltaics are substantially more efficient at turning sunlight into energy than photosynthesis.

Rooftops do seem like a good candidate, but they have high labor costs for installation; not all roofs are built to take extra load; and they don't have the same scale as using acres of flat ground.

I agree something seems unsatisfactory about the situation, but the reality of solar energy is getting the installation and supporting infrastructure costs as low as possible for large scale deployment.
Astrophysicist proposes a new theory of gravity without a conservation law
The easy way our for a lazy congressman is to copy-and-paste the current regulations into a bill (all of them,) sponsor it, and get it passed by the end of the week.

Then submit another bill that makes it the duty of the commissioner of the blah-blah agency to submit a bill to congress every year that fixes whatever problems (s)he thinks need fixing. Give them a budget for a couple of lawyers to do the drafting and suggest they have an internal email address for employees to suggest changes to the lawyers. When the proposed bill is submitted by the commissioner, it goes onto the public record and the public has 180 days to comment. After that, whatever party is in power will take the parts they like, combine it with verbage from the lobbyists who pay for their vacations, and sponsor that bill.

Yes, this introduces more delays into The System. I wish we (in the USA) would pass a constitutional amendment saying all laws must be published with markup for the dates changes take effect, so we can see what changes are coming soon. I also wish all new laws had to be published at least 1 year before they can take effect.
I guess buying a house next to one is one thing. Permitting one after people bought a house is a bit different.

And a substation might be required, so I guess bring it on. Solar panels in a parking lot could be done anywhere. Why install them in the parking lot in a quaint residential neighborhood? Why not just put them near city hall or any land the city owns but isn't in residential?

I get it, but I don't think it was really necessary or any more useful than solar on tons of other locations. The city is going to pay for x amount of electricity one way or another. They could have stick that solar in the bus terminal parking lot in the commercial side of town.

how do you motivate formal functions and relations to 5th graders, and more importantly why?

The word "you" in English has two meanings:

1. how would I motive this to 5th graders ("you" as "tu/vous" in French or "du/Sie" in German)?

2. how is this topic motivated in school to 5th graders ("you" as "on" in French or "man" in German)?

For 2: Well, it isn't. The pupils have to accept that in future, they will hopefully get why it is useful. Until then, better learn the material so that you won't fail on the tests.

For 1: If the prophet does not come to the mountain, the mountain must come to the prophet. If you need group theory to motivate functions (as you implicate in your answer), then teach group theory to 5th graders, so that the pupils get the motivation that they desire. If you additionally need to motivate group theory: well, I do know some quite interesting applications of group theory. :-)

Just to make it clear: I do have quite some experience in teaching mathematics, but to highly gifted students.

> Functions are useful in calculus, but not really the algebraic properties, those are glossed over, i.e kids learning calculus are usually not learning the formalization of functions. That isn't important until analysis or abstract algebra, hence why its included in the textbooks

In Germany, there is no distinction made between calculus and analysis. At the university, this subject is taught from beginning on in the abstract way. In school, what you call "calculus" is often taught in a more "hand-waving" way by bad math teachers. Good teachers rather attempt to teach calculus/analysis in the abstract way in school.
On the subject of WebKit, what you said is bollocks for two reasons.

1. You are conflating the rendering engine with the browser. Safari on Mac and iPhone uses WebKit as a core technology—really the preeminent core technology—but they are not WebKit and WebKit is not Safari on either platform.

2. Similarly, WebKit is not KHTML and KJS. WebCore and JavaScriptCore are forked from KHTML and KJS—and Apple did not and to my knowledge has never downplayed that nor denied it—but a fork of a project that sees significant new development work becomes a new project and takes on an identity of its own. By the time the iPhone was released, WebKit had been in development inside Apple for 6 years; and public knowledge since its announcement and Safari’s public beta for 4.5 years.

KHTML and KJS deserve and I believe actually receive their due respect, but it is wrong to say Apple did not develop their own web browsers.

IIRC in Western societies fertility does go up at very high income, so I think there's some truth in that common argument. "Lack of money to raise kids in the way I wish my kids to be raised" may be closer to the truth. I think the large majority of Japanese has enough money to feed and clothe a lot of kids to an 18th century standard.

I don't see the conflict between the two comments. You can lambaste people for not even trying to cancel a subscription they don't want while recognizing that many subscriptions depend on light users. Light users are not people who want to cancel their subscription but can't because of shenanigans, they're just light users. It's not "the other side of their business", you can have a heavy/light user model while not playing these shenanigans with customers.

On criminal trial, not in prison. (Prosecute, not convict.) In theory, this sounds like it could somewhat mitigate the phenomenon where a law is on the books but the DoJ or whoever employs public prosecutors decides to just ignore it. (Whether that’d be a good thing or a bad one from a separation of powers perspective I’m not sure.)

> you're fighting something at the neurological level that can at best be attenuated over time by plasticity, or simply just managed, like epilepsy.

Nowadays, the label "ASD" is applied both to children whose issues become apparent in early childhood, and also to children who don't develop serious issues until later in childhood, even adolescence. A two year old with severe issues, it is much more likely to be predominantly biological in origin. But a ten year old with milder issues, it becomes much harder to say to what extent it is biological compared to what extent it is due to how they've been raised.

Consider families where one of the parents (sometimes even both) has a personality disorder such as BPD or NPD – that can produce difficulties with the parent displaying consistent emotional responsiveness to the child, which can harm the child's emotional development, resulting in attachment disorders, emotional and behavioural disturbances, etc. Ideally, the parent is aware of this and can get professional help in preventing this from happening; however, many such people are in complete denial about their condition, and will refuse to seek help. There is a lot of symptomatic overlap between children with attachment disorders and ASD. Commonly, there is lots of funding and resources available for the ASD label, little or none for any others. If the parents aren't open about what is really going on, few professionals want to go digging. So they'll diagnose the child with ASD. If anyones suggests parental issues may be a contributor, many will trot out the tired talking point of "Bruno Bettelheim's discredited refrigerator mother theory".

Added to this, it isn't like "autistic traits due to bad parenting" and "autistic traits due to biological factors" are mutually exclusive categories. It is entirely possible the child already has a baseline genetic disposition to autistic traits, which are then being amplified by the poor family environment. There is a lot of overlap between personality disorders (especially BPD) and ASD, and some even question the validity of the ASD-BPD boundary – even if they are indeed distinct conditions, they likely have some shared genetic loading.

I feel compelled to say that all British (type G plugs) _have_ to be fused as the ring main has a maximum current of (typically) 30A yet the plug and socket maximum is 13A. So every appliance plug is fused, and the consumer unit has an RCD on most accessible circuits in addition to a circuit breaker.

Some plugs don't make the fuse obvious, but the traditional values are 1A, 3A, 5A, 7A, 10A and 13A (iirc -- for some reason!)

There are actually many features of the British and European wiring system that I think are really quite good. The device is closely related to a "smart meter", which are being slowly rolled out -- the UI is similar to those rolled out nationally, but it's a bit different.

Keep exploring (and don't play with the mains!)
