I feel similar. I know this is right, businesses ultimately pay for the support and need it and products go out of date for marketing and sales reasons and its easier and better for all involved to have a continuous rolling service.

I still feel like the people at homes however don't really want this all the time. The games industry is definitely a mix of the two models but very often its priced up front and right now all the services come to an end regardless as customers leave for new games.

The business focussed applications have gone this way and a got amount of the other home applications are free open source. So I agree its happened but I don't think the consumer gets the best deal out of this in a lot of cases because something they learnt to use and have an amount of content in ends up slowly moving out of date or costing a lot to keep due to the service costs. So because of this people have been pushed towards open source applications, which don't always survive but once at a certain size do so better than businesses on smaller numbers of customers.

What bugs me is we have quite substantial amounts of performance available on the desktop and we don't utilise it because of the business model. Machines mostly just run web browsers and a lot of people have abandoned having a computer/laptop for a phone because there isn't much on the PC they care about especially with consoles being an easier route to gaming. Its a popular platform still, there are a lot of PCs and yet very few applications that really utilise the performance available and yet plenty of cloud services that do which they have to pay monthly for. There is a market not being catered to.

Nobody is disputing that faster speeds on impact are more deadly.

But what thought has been given to automatically restricting the speed of a car?

If I cross from a 55 to 25 MPH, is it up to the automaker on whether it gradually slows? Brake checks?

Should that mean speed limit zones should also be a gradual change?

What happens when the system mistakes a highway for local? Should it be local only? How often is it error prone?

Where’s your data for any of that?

I just tried Zed and it is definitely really pleasant to use. I'd need at least a Java LSP to use it for real (and preferably general LSP support so I can code in my own programming languages with it) but I can see a lot of promise. If they ship a Linux release so I could use it on my desktop too they could win me over from Sublime Text/IntelliJ.
Have you been to other countries? American speeding seemed pretty sedate. I recall driving a bit too fast around some country roads in CA and people would pull over and let me past. That would never happen here, and I'd also be the slowest on the road going just a bit over the limit.

Not that this is a good thing, I'm not a fan of the dangerous driving I see a lot where I live. I lived in CA for awhile and I drove across the US. Drivers there are, on average, more courteous than drivers here (new zealand).

That difference doesn't seem to translate to a difference in crashes and fatalities though. I know from the stats here that 25% of people who die in car crashes were not wearing a seatbelt. I think that is interesting because it reveals that a significant number of accidents are being caused by people who are either impaired or taking risks in other ways than the average driver. So, while speeding is a factor, I'm not convinced that more cracking down on speeding is the thing that would make the most difference.

Edit: I grew up and learnt to drive in the UK which has fewer than half the number of accidents per mile driven. Speeding in the UK was far more common. Police enforcement of speeding on motorways was much lower. I'm not saying speeding is good, but driving culture, population density and road engineering all play their part in these numbers too.

I have driven 250K accident-free miles. I’d wager that more than half of those were more than 10 mph over the posted limit. Highways in New England are often posted at 55 or 65 and moving at 75-80.

Is that “massively over”? No, but a bill to limit to 10 over is kinda impractical.

The Django community goes out of its way not to learn JavaScript.

I’ve been a Django developer since 2008; I was allergic to JavaScript (for good reasons) too. After almost five years of front-end development I can tell you that most of those reasons stopped being valid sometime between 2017 and 2020. JavaScript is a great experience now.

I didn’t do it willingly. Front-end developers are expensive and hard to size up if you don’t know what Flexbox or a Promise is.

If you’re going to be doing anything web related you might as well get comfortable with the fact that learning JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, Sass, HTML, and something like RxJS is going to make you a better developer and your life easier.

I know, I wrote that. Getting t-boned does not mean that you can’t handle driving faster but rather that road conditions aren’t safe for it: in most places you aren’t averaging that kind of speed for a non-trivial time without running red lights or being in situations where you really don’t have visibility to do so safely – and you end up getting t-boned by someone who _thought_ they could proceed safely because they weren’t expecting cross traffic going that much faster than normal. The point is simply that it’s extreme rare to be in a situation where going that much over the limit is the right choice.

Yes we should, ideally. The word station wagon has meant that form factor in a car for over a hundred years (apparently around 1910, from some light searching).

It's annoying that some marketing person suddently decided to call a station wagon a SUV now that SUV is the hip thing.

It is not that we can't but we won't. Rust and D are two of the best shots so far for replacing C++, and based on the TIOBE 2024 Index, they are on the 19th and 21st place respectively. But time will tell whether any of these promising languages will eventually succeed, and become C++ successor that is currently ranked 3rd. Personally I'd love D to success thus we can replace a single language for the cumbersome and the mess of the C++ and Python programming languages duality in data science and machine learning implementation for examples.
Clearly the solution is to split them up into working market competition again rather than creating a single point of failure in the US economy.

As a pro solar pragmatic engineer response:

> At the point my solar panel is installed all the death is built in.

No. The toxic waste ponds left after creating your solar panels remain with all the carcinogenic after effects. The large volume of low level radiactive waste from lithium processing for batery banks remains in ponds (again, see Lynas, Malaysia) awaiting possible pond leakages.

> no one can agree what the impact of Chernobyl is. For instance, the UN cites a report and claims 4000 dead post accident. The report itself says 9000. Greenpeace says 90,000.

So .. how many actual body bags definitive linked then?

Once a waste problem hits ANOVA analysis to tease out deaths from other background deaths it's an acedemic exercise not dissimilar to estimating cancer deaths from eWaste (like solar panel production waste bybroducts).

> billions of years for the fuel (uranium)

So .. hardly breaks down at all, barely radioactive is what you're saying here?

Lead has a half life in the billions of years also - anywhere there's granite has uranium .. and it's the daughter products like Radon gas that fill granite valleys and basements that kill (like a packet a day smoking habit).

By how much though? Designs have changed since Chernobyl, lessons were learned from Fukishima (which had fewer deaths than the earthquake events and fewer deaths than serious mining accidents).

There are risks everywhere - it's difficult for many to pragmatic assess and compare risk.

You appear myopic WRT risk in the sense that some risk appears much larger and other risk isn't seen at all.
I agree with you but I’m honestly curious why you say 5 years. It seems like overkill for what is basically a reset on life. Anything over a few weeks means you lose your job. Anything over a few months means you lose your residence. So what’s the difference between one year and five? What do you lose in those four years other than opportunity?
Yes, exogenous testosterone will shut down the testicles and thus lower sperm production. Here's a random paper [0] but there's a lot of material out there.

The hard part is balancing the sterilisation effect with other side effects whilst having good efficacy. And then there's also the problem of reversing the effects.

I'm not on the pharmaceutical business, there's probably a
good reason it doesn't exist yet. I just don't know if it's a legal/public perception thing regarding anabolic steroids, it's too hard to manage the side effects or if it's something else.

This was certainly true in the past from my understanding of the history before my time.

Most terms are pretty standard now. And most of them have good reasons for existing — usually to align the founders and investors. Just because a term is complex and could benefit the investor doesn’t mean it’s meant to mislead.

But, I’m interested in some examples that might shake my opinion about up!
There is a study that shows this effect months later for 65% of men some of which didn't get their fertility back as well as causing enlargement of the prostate. This was in men who would otherwise benefit from testosterone replacement not men with a healthy level of testosterone essentially juicing.

It would not be tested explicitly for such because it is both bad at its job and has negative side effects well known from all the steroid users.
Turnover of 3 years!? That's pretty good.

I have been to a lot of countries, yes. I'd say the only countries where I've consistently seen more unsafe driving have been in SE Asia. Specifically, Indonesia and the Philippines. But I haven't been to NZ, so I can't speak to your driving culture.

From a quick look, NZ generally posts limits of 50km/h in cities. It's not uncommon to see 45mph (72km/h) limits in similar cities in the US. Factor the "10 over" rule in, and there are a lot of Americans who are used to going ~89km/h on urban roads.

P.S. to your edit: I agree! I think American road culture is more than just speeding, and that the things you've identified play a substantial role. That's why I said "neglect" rather than focusing on just speeding.

> On Sunday, the NTSB reported that Alaska Airlines had previously restricted this particular plane from long flights over water, specifically to Hawaii, because an auto pressurization alert light that had illuminated during three prior flights, twice in the days leading up to Friday.

> But aviation experts told NBC News on Monday that based on the information provided thus far by federal authorities the light was going off as the result of a computer glitch of some kind and not indicating there was a mechanical problem on the plane.

> "It’s not unusual in the aviation world for there to be issues with warning lights and most of the time the issue is with the warning light itself," Jeff Guzzetti, a former NTSB investigator. "It’s not like Alaska Airlines ignored it. The fact that it restricted this plane from making flights over water while they were looking into this warning lights issue points to a robust safety culture."

> John Cox, who weighs-in regularly on aviation issues for NBC News, agreed.

> "The pressurization system, from what I’ve read, was acting normally," said Cox, who said he flew Boeing 737's for 15 years. "This appears to be more a sensor problem. But Alaska Airlines, being a conservative airline, said this has happened a couple times now and we need to look into, but let’s not do that over the Pacific Ocean."

> Homendy said at Monday night's news conference that it does appear the auto pressurization system and its alerts were not involved in Friday night's accident, although she cautioned that the investigation was ongoing.
Yeah, this is getting ridiculous. Aircraft break all the time, and the FAA investigates all the time. I'm begining to think some people here have short positions in Boeing stock or something.
