Yep the South Island is bigger and less populated. The north island is very suitable for EV’s and there is a strong deployment of EV charger infrastructure.

All in all, north island driving distances are just pretty small. And the roads so windy you need a rest before you’d run out of juice.

Drastically different to Australia where you can drive at 110km/h in a dead straight line for hours on end.
From my reading of the statement, the truck and Waymo vehicle were both going straight, in opposite directions. The cyclist was traveling on the cross-street and entered the intersection directly behind the truck and into the path of the Waymo vehicle.
It's just a random site I remembered from a long time ago, there are better ones out there. One of them convinced me that jQuery is just a crutch. I tried a small project without it and it really did not take long to adjust.

These days I find vanilla far easier to read and it is a lot more clear to me what is actually happening in the code.

Depending on jQuery limits your ability to work with code that does not use it. Ie a lot of the more professional libraries.

For me dropping jQuery feels like a step up. Why don't you just try it, see what happens. It's just a day of being a little bit annoyed and then you should be fine.

Ah yeah, I didn’t explain the point well.

I wouldn’t disagree that podcasters are in control of distribution; that’s not actually exclusive with the distribution being centralized. The point I was making about the exclusivity deals is just that these platforms have started to try -- and likely will continue to try -- to entice some of the more popular productions into such deals, which would necessarily increase centralization if they go through.

It’s a cynical perspective so maybe best kept to myself but I see all the right pieces for a UX bait-and-switch. I suspect the parent commenter (to whom you asked the initial question) sees the same thing. I think it’s seemingly intentionally misleading to call this decentralized; like “that’s what they want you to think” as a paranoid way of putting it. Regardless of any motives, it seems to serve certain interests that this is seen as decentralized, and I don’t think they’re the interests of podcast fans. Food for thought, I guess.

Rolling through stop signs while cycling is generally appropriate (and is the law in more enlightened places). In California it may be illegal, but so is a car exceeding the speed limit, and few would excuse Waymo for hitting one of those.
thanks, i guess, but i do know that. i just don't get why this prompt. what's the benefit? do i as a user c/p that? and is 1700 just the number of tokens in the wording of this prompt? why state its number? what's its significance?
I hadn't thought about this before today, ht I think there's some interesting terrain we get when we capture intent as something above the state.

Capturing the desired column let's us derived an actual column. Instead of programmers having to manage two bits of state & their interrelation, it seems like we can do with managing just intent, and recalculating state each time. Thats a much simpler state machine to manage.

This application of Promise Theory / Desired State Management looks a lot like how another vast new part of computing work too: Kubernetes. Capture intent, then devise systems that try best as they can to coerce the current state towards the intended state. Rather than hand wiring each action ourselves, & having a big bundle of state, we can get to see what the actual objective is. The current state is almost incidental, just a logic programming puzzle to coerce into a form truer to the Intent.

I haven't totally figured out how all the pieces of this article fit together. I don't know whether Stanley as an archetype of overly fussy controlling dev really informs or helps, and I feel bad about enjoying watching a straw man burn but I do think there's a real hazard some devs go down, of obsessing over control. The idea of state versus intent layers I think does offer some relief, lets us consider more carefully we should allow relaxation of checking & validation. That a good Stanley could grow from, could harness. But I do somewhat miss the connection between Stanley & the rest of the article.

Every Christmas break I always hope I'll have the emotional energy to dig back into https://github.com/PureDarwin/PureDarwin#readme and see if I can get it to boot, even on VirtualBox, let alone some hackintosh friendly hardware like OP did

I'm also aware that Darling exists (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38423469 ) but if it's anything like Wine -- no, thank you. The only reason Wine (and their CrossOver friends) are required to exist is because there's no suitable open source release of Windows, so emulating the bugs is glucose cheaper. I had high hopes for ReactOS when I was in college, but I think they're just pushing that rock uphill (although I am super glad the project exists)

Having said all of that, don't overlook that even if I snapped my fingers and had a PureDarwin built 14.3 .iso this very second, the supply chain for x86_64 applications for any such OS is likely going the way of the dodo, since it won't be in a vendor's best interest to dedicate resources to building releases for what they assume is a dead platform

Then it's a bit of non-orthodox approach here, if not more. As defined in wiki [0] (and on par with what we all are used to):

> Scripting languages are usually interpreted at runtime rather than compiled.

I would not be much happy if script would do some heqvy lifting and output some binary in the current or tmp folder. Which hash needs to be checked each run (against what?) and would require lots of other security-related protections, in real world. In ideal world - not much, but that's not what we are talking about, right?

Apple has a weirdly pro-Disney bias: watchOS has built-in Disney faces, on a watch where there's no custom watchface support whatsoever. And this is apparently mutual: Disney shipped a D+ visionOS app when several other streaming services (Netflix, YouTube, Spotify) were telling Apple to piss off.

Disney investing in the company that has been the biggest thorn in Apple's side is... interesting. Obviously, the immediate motivation is "we wanna jump on the Fortnite zoomer bandwagon", but I can't help but wonder if Tim Sweeney's days are numbered here.
The impossibility of agreement on what should be allowed
I'm pretty sure at this point we are just talking pass each other. Taiwanese people don't consider themselves 中国人, because zhongguoren is now considered to mean a PRC citizen (although historically this was not necessarily the meaning). This is of course true, because Taiwan has their own government that runs pretty much independently from the mainland government. However, I don't think this means they don't see themselves as "Chinese", but simply that POLITICALLY they see themselves as not citizens of the PRC, but not necessarily that they aren't "Chinese".

And I think you're quite wrong that people in Taiwan don't have a deeper connection to Chinese in China. Diaspora in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc., have largely mixed with the indigenous cultures in those areas. Most of the later generations often speak a broken form of Chinese, or Singlish, etc., and if they do speak Chinese, perhaps they speak a Chinese dialect (brokenly) and probably practically illiterate in Chinese. In Taiwan this is simply not the case, by and large they all speak Mandarin and by and large all share the same history, know the same legends, pray to basically the same deities, can watch and read each others films/media, still uses the same flag as the one that represented China 80-100 years ago, often have close enough relatives still in China that aren't e.g. 5th removed since Taiwan's population double in size post '49, etc. Although there's a difference in traditional and simplified characters, it's not enough that someone who is fluent in one or the other and spends maybe a few months trying to learn the other would have much difficulty. Not to mention I believe most people say that if they already know traditional characters, it's easier to learn simplified, with simplified characters often being the running or grass script form of the traditional character. Moreover because there's actual communication between mainland China and Taiwan, Chinese spoken in both areas won't drift like it did between N.K. and S.K.

If computers are so good at this, why am I (a human) asked to identify bicycles and motorcycles to train these computers when confronted with a captcha? A human needs far less training and can identify a person on a bike without ever seeing an actual bike. They can also infer what is likely to happen based on a lot of context clues. Even if an event doesn’t seem likely, I can still prepare. For example, if I see kids playing basketball in a driveway, I’m going to slow down, incase the ball bounces into the street and a kid takes off after it without looking. I don’t need to wait for the kid to be in the street to start reacting and prepare for different possibilities.

If you want to solve computing problems more directly, you will want to apply the approaches of Thinking Forth, regardless of the language you use. A lot of software and features are there to communicate with other people and their software. Forth is syntax for talking with the machine, and you can learn to distinguish between the two by engaging with Forth and trying to do more things with it.

Forth is also a pretty good development target, if you need a "fully featured" stack VM with a repl. There's never been a requirement that using Forth means "writing the entire system in a Forth that you bootstrapped yourself". Sometimes you want to have a little build step on top, and sometimes you want to target a system that has more than the minimalistic or standards-driven stuff, or you want to have a small interpreter over library code that has implemented the fast algorithms already. Forth systems tend to be personalized, quirky, and under-documented, but most are also easy to strip down and examine closely.
There can be a lot of ice and hard-pack; sure it's not getting any better.

Don't know how true the generalization is but, while some people have condos for the weekend in New England, you tend to live nearer a major metro center and go up for 2 or 3 day weekends.

Out West, I imagine it's more common for people to just move to one of the larger ski towns--or at least to get a second home there for their recreational season of choice. At least, that's the very anecdotal impression I get. If I wanted a season pass and had a lot of free winter time to spend downhill skiing, I'd probably do it out West. New England is more accessible for multi-season activities but the locations are probably also more accessible for weekends and long weekends.
Yes, exactly. Nobody should be surprised that calling `strlen(NULL)` crashes. Checking for NULL at the top of strlen() would be stupid, which is why it doesn't do that. I've seen a lot of so-called "enterprise" code does that, and it's absolutely idiotic.

Tbh I wasn’t paying attention, but in retrospect the signs were obvious:

1. We were owned by a PE company. I should have been more alert if no other reason, but this.

2. Company was banking on a strategy that wasn’t working. Not to go too much into what was happening, but the company had some established legacy products that most of the customers were still using. However majority of the hiring and work being done was all-in on there new suite of software under which the whole company revolved. However they were seeing very little adoption . I worked very close to customers and what I saw was that customers just did not want the new software. I didn’t do what they wanted and was filled to the brim with buzzword-tier features and concepts that no one really cared about.

3. There were a few signs my manager mentioned to me after the layoffs, but I hadn’t been paying too much attention to. There were some sudden reorg choices that didn’t affect me too much, but more than that, there was a seemingly desperate rebrand announced some time before. It didn’t make sense to me at the time, but in the context of 2) it seems more clear. There were also a number of curious lower level executive departures in the months prior.

It was a small SaaS company and they ended up dumping around half of us in late 2022. Not sure what they’re up to now. They’ve done yet another rebrand since and little information remains regarding the old company name and endeavors.

I keep hearing the excuse for hydrogen being things like freight trucks that need hundreds of kilometres of range.

It seems that for a fraction of the cost of building hydrogen, they could outfit them with pantographs and run trolley wire over major highways; suddenly, you only need 100km of battery when you get on and off the freeway instead of 800 for a day's travels.

You might be right about Apple under Tim Cook, and the Vision Pro, but this is revisionist history that I’ve seen repeatedly about the Vision Pro comparing it to the iPhone.

The original iPhone was many thing but certainly not blazing fast. And yea, many people said it not that great now but this is the future, most of the reviews if I remember correctly.

CNET: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/original-iphone-review/

Ars: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2007/07/iphone-review/16/#h1

> “ We love the concept of the iPhone. It's extremely easy to use and almost entirely self-discoverable; the interface looks better than any other phone—smartphone or not—currently on the market, and it's just plain fun to use.”

> “However, we are not buying something else either; we plan to wait to see what software (and hardware) updates might come out for the iPhone in the near future. We believe that the iPhone is cool enough to wait for whatever might come out, and we have confidence that many of the nits we have picked can be fixed through a major software update.”

I remember very frequently switching back and forth between my iPhone and Android or Windows Mobile devices.

Neither does a computer.
I'm relatively sure the search/track radar doesn't go with individual bullets, but yeah, you have a high PK (percentage of kill) when defending against one, two missiles. But that's not how they'll be employed - your problem is attack mass and engagement time. You'll have maybe a swarm of cheap drones, a few dozen Mig-21s revamped for drone control, a few incoming guided ballistic missiles at mach 7, fifty or so subsonic sea skimmers, maybe a dozen supersonic sea skimmers, plus maybe some airplanes somewhere out there waiting for a hole to shoot your AWACS or tankers.

If your defenses are just amazing, and you take out one every three seconds, you're still going to run out of time. You're on the right track with "firm kill" DEWS though. Gotta be a little careful with those, because the engagement range for DEWS is always going to be short, due to attenuation, mist/fog/spray, dust, and good old line of sight. Also, it's quite surprising how little it takes to shield electronics from even nuke-class EMP. But the short engagement range means you have even less time.
After all these years I still can't take the term "Jan 6 Insurrection" seriously. Not only did it pose zero threat (no military support, no political support, no police support), the most notable act of violence was one of the un-armed "insurrectionists" being fatally shot in the back while climbing through a broken window.
The way I deal with this is my history tables have 3 fixed columns:

* OperationType: An ENUM of "INSERT", "UPDATE", "DELETE"
* OperationTimestamp: TIMESTAMPTZ
* OperationId: BIGSERIAL (needed to can handle cases where a row is modified multiple times in a transaction)

This structure is super intuitive to understand, and very efficient since the History table is append-only. But if you are trying to use it to reconstruct the state of items from a specific time the past, it's a bit awkward and the use of a RANGE column instead would be easier to query.
Last time I looked at RSS the transfer was bound to happen over HTTP. RSS is more like a web alternative. You can link from RSS to web pages, sure, but you can also link to web pages from Word documents. Perhaps browsers should all natively support .docx too?

Although you ultimately raise a good point. Most browsers do support PDF. That's the wide attempt to be something other than a web browser that I was forgetting about earlier. So, there you go, there is precedence.

Although there is still that pesky problem of most people not wanting to use RSS. Apple had good in-browser support for RSS there for a while but they found nobody used it. If Apple can't convince Average Joe to use something, it isn't likely anyone can. RSS has remained relevant for podcasts only because it has found a place in server-to-server syndication. Average Joe isn't visiting Harmony Harold's personal website to subscribe to his podcast either.

Ex googler here.

Google has become a utility company, and I believe that's what you are saying. And I agree. I love Gmail, photos, drive etc and I have been a Google user longer than I have been an employee. This is a good thing.

But, I started my career at google, and can tell you with confidence that it is not the best place to build a career, especially if you are a high performer. Google will shape everyones career around average, and will not do much to reward extraordinary contributions, and it shows up also in compensation, promotions etc. google will happily not promote people unless they ask for, and many will not.
And yet people using the two point out how much better it is. Maybe this seemingly arbitrary metric is as relevant as comparing amount of ram between iOS and Android devices. It’s more complicated than can be expressed by some stat.
