Self-employed tradesman pays as much on a per-hour basis as contract dev work and doesn't have to compete with a million people in developing countries willing to work for $20/hr. The project management parts from software development aren't too different either -- it's all tasks, coordinating stakeholders, etc.

That's my angle, but there are plenty of other fields too: healthcare (nurses make as much as most SWEs and can live anywhere in the country), government, certain employee tradesmen (electrician, etc.), basically anything that requires some sort of license or training. Life is long, spending a couple years to get 10+ years of good returns is a wise investment.

I've never been to the Bay Area, so what I'm about to say may not apply, but look in any middle-class neighborhood: maybe 5% of the people are in tech -- what is everyone else doing? The above is a sampling of careers that have provided people in my neighborhood a comfortable American Dream style of life.

"Businesses in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom use AVS" I don't live in any of these countries. Even so it's more cost for business to use AVS, most won't. The likes of my mobile phone credit or Steam or Spotify or cloud services don't use any sort of address validation
Roman North Africa was thoroughly Romanized by the era these start showing up, and the eastern provinces were as well. The might be some cultural reason these show up where they do, seems likely, it's very, very dubious that this cultural reason had to do with metalworkers identifying themselves since the sort of Roman metal working technology and culture around it was actually very standardized across the empire at this time.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

The comparison is simple: given that you want to hire a fixed number of people and you don’t want to lower the bar (hire based on merit), you can either not invest in DEI or spend extra time/money on getting diverse hires without lowering the bar.

> It means that the commit was created using the author's credentials (to the extent that you trust GitHub and its lack of bugs).

This is incorrect. If I create a merge request, and then the maintainer clicks the "squash and merge" button, that commit is associated with me, even though I'm not actually the creator of that commit at that point: the maintainer is. I believe this happens even if someone else (e.g. the maintainer) pushed commits to that merge request before squashing them together.
I don't see why this would bias people towards short term benefits rather than medium and long term benefits. E.g. why investment funds wouldn't optimize for the latter rather than the former.

Vans tend to have pretty good visibility, but not compared to a single cab truck.

Loading into a van can be easier or harder depending on the goods. Larger items are easier into a truck, IMHO, since you don't have to rearrange or remove the seating, and don't have to negotiate door openings, and sometimes it's useful to get help over the sides of the bed. Lower typical height of van floors can be helpful though. Pickup beds tend to have more and better tiedown points, too.

I have a pickup and a van, and a c-max, and I would most likely give up the c-max first; especially if either or both the van and the pickup had reasonable fuel efficiency.

Show me where you store the data.

If you store it on your phone, then it's not showing up on your other devices. If you lose or break your phone, then your data is gone. There are very few applications for which that's acceptable - basically just your calculator app.

If you don't store it on your phone, then it's stored on some kind of server, somewhere. Do you own and control that server, or does someone else? How does the application consume and update the data?

any of the polyhedral frameworks is reasonably good at splitting loop nests into parallelizable ones.

Then it's just a codegen problem.

But yes, ultimately, the user needs to be aware of how the language works, what is parallelizable and what isn't, and of the cost of the operations that they ask their computer to execute.
Hopefully it would have an effect. 95% of the people in these giant walls of steel have no reason to be driving them.

The Rise of the American Oligarchy
From your first link.

> ...occurs when a political entity, policymaker, or regulator is co-opted to serve the commercial, ideological, or political interests of a minor constituency, such as a particular geographic area, industry, profession, or ideological group.

My description was just more succinct and didn't identify every single entity that could be coopted and every single group that could benefit. Regulatory capture is unnecessary and onerous checks and balances, not the removal of regulatory checks and balances that you implied.
> any positive comment about China gets downvoted to oblivion, further emphasizing the theory of an organized FUD against China

Just based on this very comment thread you're wrong, so how are we to trust any of your other rebuttals?

Even well-sourced critiques of China are greytext so one may as well assume the opposite if they were taking your position.

This is how Mozilla's own updater works (if you use the .tar.gz version), but the distro package updater just overwrites everything without waiting and applications like Firefox have no control over that. As a user, you'd really want to disable unattended updates for such software.

It's not an issue for these .deb packages because they enable the (experimental) forkserver.

I am less bullish on the screen of the FW13. The color accuracy at various brightness levels leaves a bit to be desired. Gamma calibration seems to be problematic. My Gen 1 Surface Book, Dell Ultrasharp monitors (that are a decade old and only 99% sRGB), and M1 Macbook Air all have much better displays for accuracy out of the box.

The upside is that, if/when FW offers a better screen in the future (with touch?) I feel comfortable doing the swap myself.

Electricsql looks cool but on a mobile browser the "local first" instant reactivity example is waaaay slower than the cloud version. Latencies of 600+ms Vs 120ms.

The comparison list is very useful as a collection, thank you.
I believe what the author is describing is called A Desktop Application. They were these crazy forms of web apps, that ran on a local computer, stored data locally, and didn't use a server. Or a web browser. Legend has it that they used little memory, were fast and snappy, and enabled native integration with all of an operating system's capabilities, widgets, etc, while still allowing a user to completely control what happens with the data the program used.

Porting this type of application could take a lot of work! So at some point, somebody invented a programming language called Java, which used a thing called a Virtual Machine, so that one application could run the same way on any computer that could run the Java Virtual Machine. They called this A Portable Desktop Application.

Unfortunately, this obscure language was somewhat difficult to use, so this paradigm was abandoned for simpler languages, and with it, so went the idea of A Portable Desktop Application.

Decades later, somebody reinvented the idea. But it required a much more limited application platform, running inside a kind of hacked-together document viewer, with a simplistic programming language designed to control how documents were displayed. It took about 1000x as much memory and CPU, but, with addition of about 50 different frameworks and 30 different new custom APIs, you could finally get close to the same functionality as the first solution.

Ah, technological progress...

Nothing to do with cars. I commute via bicycle and actively hate road cyclist, too. Once a person starts donning spandex they seem to lose their personhood. They become something else. Angrier. Impatient. Self important. Impervious to the rules of the road.
The bottleneck device can change with every different destination, so CAKE and fq_codel find it the same way older TCP code did: increase the load until they get a timeout or a "slow down, you idiot" flag (:-))

The initial bandwidth setting is really to get it started at a good value for your usual bottleneck device, such as your local cable modem.

Always starting off as if you had fast ethernet to the ISP when you actually have a super-el-cheapo link is a waste of time and effort. Even if you have a good algorithm like CAKE.

The thread above contains clear evidence that they in fact do optimize for DEI. Even if they weren't exactly merit-based before, that only makes things worse.

They (The RAC[0]) are actually pushing for regulation here in the UK along those lines.

There seems to be quite a push from the public to do something, so maybe it'll change one day..

"According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, between the ages of 15 and 65, the time it takes to recover from glare increases from one to nine seconds.

At 60 miles an hour, that’s 250 yards in nine seconds.

Baroness Hayter said: "The Group’s first interaction with Ministers led them to say: No problem here, no evidence of deaths or serious injuries. Since then, the public have reached out to tell us they disagree, and that many are stopping driving at night, with eight out of 10 drivers surveyed wanting action to reduce glare.

"We know other countries share our concern, with drivers demanding action. The Government needs to heed our call for action and be on the side of road safety."

Why?

It’s just a marketing term. Most predictive maintenance models are ML or statistical learning models and have a great track record. Some call it AI to sound hip (you can any ML model AI these days) but it’s probably just a standard model from reliability engineering.
We’ll see how this plays out, but historically car companies’ tech has been the absolute worst.

I would MUCH rather see software in a car from one of the major tech companies if they insist. Personally, I would be happy with a tablet mount, Bluetooth audio, and physical buttons for the rest.

I would trust a tech company with self driving far more if the software on those media abominations is any indicator.
And there are other cheaper AI art generators too like ebank.nz doing unlimited plans

Go’s reflect package is not “missing” that feature, it is intentionally omitted as it defeats static analysis. In all my years writing Go (14 now), including some tricky metaprogramming, I have never needed to look up a function by name.
1) It seems you are confusing crumple zones (which the ct definitely has lol) with cushioning the impact for a pedestrian.

2) sure, but the only research we have says higher hood = much more deadly. Cybertruck has a lower hood with a better angle. So why single it out when the jury is out on what’s more important for safety
Not just that, but "head out with the military, stay where you end up (or somewhere along the route)" is a tried-and-true method of moving people throughout history. How else would you end up with Latin dialects spoken over a range from Portugal to the Black Sea?
In the books, each civilization can have a hiding gene and/or an exterminating gene. At the beginning of the story, humanity has neither. The idea is that civilizations without the hiding gene won't last long. So it's not rational for a civilization to become "Space Hitler", there are other options, they can hide.

I found the hypothesis to be convincing in the story. By the time you figure out if a civilization is friendly, they may have advanced to the point where they could destroy you. Everyone has to hide. Not everyone has to exterminate.

Clearly, having discovered no other civilizations in the universe, we don't have enough information, so it's all guesswork and fantasy.
I haven’t done the math - why wouldn’t something as ‘simple’ as a die diameter solid copper slug work?

Easy to drill for water cooling, and at these scales pretty cheap.

You claim the basis of an hour of labor is $0.

The various US government entities (DOT, EPA, HHS) uses a statistical life value of around $10 million (probably higher now due to inflation).

The average American works ~1800 hours a year, and, if counting from 18 to 68, can work 50 years, or 90000 hours in an average working life.

If you think solely economically, then the statistical hourly value is $111/hour ($10,000,000 / 90,000). That's your cost-basis for an average human's work-hour, per the statistic value of a human life. Of course, the $10 million isn't solely an economic number, since human life is technically priceless and has a moral value, which then brings the argument back to morality.

"Criticality is a concept borrowed from physics that describes when a system of individual parts will be most effective at responding to an input."

Providing up to 6 MW of electricity to a battery-electric mining truck while traveling

Existing options are based on 100-year-old overhead trolley lines which work ok, but come with dramatic downsides in capital costs and operational limitations.

Static charging takes too much time and happens frequently due to battery size limitations. (There's a huge tradeoff between carrying a lot of battery versus payload.)

Induction efficiencies are too low, so direct contact is required at these power levels

As mining transitions to zero-emissions, these infrastructure systems require the same attention and innovation
Hmm, that's wrong. Will look into it, thanks!
Did you typo "light freeze?" Texas does terribly with ice but it is regularly windy as hell here, among the windiest of all US states. Even when a tornado tore up three miles of North Dallas a few years ago, it didn't take out even the local traffic, let alone the whole state.

Waymo is already at level 4 at least on surface streets, and they claim 99.4% uptime in rain, high winds, and thunderstorms during last winter. [1] They're testing highway service in Phoenix now.

There might be a debate about the word "all" for the distinction between levels 4 and 5, but Waymo has six years to erase that doubt.

If you pay a mortgage till the day you die, how’s that different than paying rent till you die?

If you can find a home you like more than places you can rent, and the payments are similar enough, seems like it’s still better to get a mortgage.

A mortgage payment can’t increase like rent can and most likely will, forcing you to move every X years if you decide you can find somewhere more affordable.

Of course there are tradeoffs in the other direction, like if you need to move to a distant location for job/family/health, I just don’t think it’s as one-sided as you present it.
I think there's sometimes a bug with the X. I totally believe you're not misclicking.

The X button has always been weird because it's not visible until you hover, it has a weird fade in, it's way too tiny, and it seems like sometimes the notification registers a click rather than the X. It's bad all around, and I don't understand why they still haven't improved it.
