Best Places to Live for Quality of Life in the U.S. in 2023-2024
Maybe I’m not the typical car buyer, but usually I do a ton of research beforehand and know the exact make and model and configuration I want prior to even making contact with dealers.

Then all I do is basically pick the dealer that is able to get me what I want, or as closest to it, at best price.

Sometimes this has meant traveling to a dealership in another state. Sometimes it meant ordering from the factory.

Then again, the cars I’ve always shopped for haven’t exactly been the likes of Camrys or RAV4s, so…
- Almost anything with right half-plane singularities. Although you can balance an inverted pendulum with PID, anything beyond that, PID falls flat on its face.

- Anything where you want high performance. Lag and lead compensation is very often needed. That's not complex to do. It's often necessary (especially in analog design). PID works, but rarely optimally.

- Complex nonlinearities. Although simple ones, PID can be quite robust to (even more so than "smarter methods").

- A lot of systems which are highly multidimensional, and especially where controls isn't cleanly separable from path planning.

It's worth noting, in lower-quality control courses (e.g. a prof who specializes in another field, teaching this course on the side), a lot of incorrect things are taught here. I'm seeing some of that represented in this (broader) discussion.

TL;DR: Be careful what you read online.

I plan on buying a new car soon, likely a luxury brand, perhaps Lexus. It’s been 15 years since I’ve personally purchased a car. Are there services that will handle the process on my behalf?

Very genuinely—-I ask because my patience is thin, and I am likely to hurl expletives at the salesperson, especially if I detect tactics such as those described here. If the salesperson is slimy, then my verbal response is likely to be exceptionally offensive, as I’ll calculate for the most severe expression.
None of that is an EU requirement: the companies which did that chose the bad experience. In at least some cases, I suspect the hope was that it would annoy EU voters enough to make it possible to weaken the legislation.
The dependencies usually have dependencies and then... well it's dependencies all the way down in the JS world. 100s is sadly normal for large proects in my limited experience.
> There is a 3rd option - do a custom design that considers site-specific issues.

And this option is extremely rare.

> What I'm giving you is a sketch at how advanced environmental laws actually conflict with the idea of using cookie cutter designs.

No. What you're giving me is a lie that these are applicable everywhere all the time. You're also trying to sell a lie that the US is so distinct and special and unique that it can't have cookie cutter designs (unlike other countries) because only in the US this applies everywhere all the time.

> Not after a typical infrastructure project. Usually a bunch of habitat gets killed off and it isn't unusual to lose a population of something exotic.

That is, of course, not as true and not as common as you make it out to be.

BTW. I live in Stockholm, in a country obsessed with ecology and pollution etc. Most stations are cookie cutter designs (of course). There's exactly one subway station that never got built precisely because there was endangered wildlife in the area.
Work may have not decreased, but due to productivity an hour of work buys WAY more than it did 100 years ago. Our shelter is larger, climate-controlled, with plumbing and electricity. Our food has way more variety, quality, and year-round availability, carries fewer diseases, and can be stored in a giant cold box inside our homes for longer preservation. Our transportation is climate-controlled, faster, safer, and more convenient.

Everything we use our wages on has seen massive gains in quality. It’s just that instead of working less and being just as poor as we were in 1924, we work the same and buy the uber top level wealthy (in 1924 terms) version of everything.
The world needs identity verification as a service. By this, I mean it should be possible to go to an office of ID Check inc, show ID and prove who i am. The id vetting company can then give you a number that you can give to a company to prove you are the person you claim to be and have your password reset.

The current system of having access to a SIM card or knowing your mother’s maiden name is ridiculous.

> Apple are a hardware company. It’s bizarre that you are trying to argue otherwise. They make more money from selling consumer hardware than practically every other company in the world.

You are definitely correct in that Apple are a hardware company.

However (and I think this is the point of disagreement) much of their revenue growth (and presumably profits, but that's harder to assess) comes from services, and from a stock price perspective revenue/profit growth is what matters (you're only as good as your last quarter and all that).

Understanding this is key to understanding lots of Apple's business decisions recently (my favourite was destroying the business model of their competitors using ATT and then refusing to declare their own ad business ATT compliant).
Former MMCS(SS) here. You are spot on with this assessment.
I've been using Google's Cloud Run for production a while now and can recommend as a friendlier alternative. It also includes a free-tier which might be ideal for side projects.
Yeah of course it works. It is possible that literally everyone knows that approach works. How to build buildings things cheaply is not a mystery to the building builders.

The issues is that the people making the decisions either don't want it to be cheap, or aren't allowed to make the cheap decisions. I'm betting option 2.

Game consoles often launching selling at a loss and have to recoup their costs within about 5y. They rarely get more than a few thousand games in their lifetime. Each generation is often incompatible with the last, increasing costs all around.

The iPhone is usually backward compatible, sold at a hefty profit each year, and has tens of thousands of games from more developers.

If H&M was the only store that 2.2 billion people could use for anything, I would absolutely call that a monopoly.

You can choose to shop anywhere without incurring significant detriment, you can event get H&M products at other stores.
That's good news, take it further!
No, this is a way of saying that the market is inefficient.

When the profit margin is high it is an indication of an inefficient market. If the market would have been efficient competitors would have gotten in when they see the opportunity for making good money.

This is a way to create an efficient market.

I'll be blunt.

1. Take all of the side projects that are too niche and/or unsellable and polish up the code then open source it (add it to your portfolio/resume).

2. Take the projects that are sellable and publish them in places people can find them (app store, on the web, etc) then put it on your portfolio/resume.

3. With your beefier resume/portfolio in hand, find a job.

idk, the medically advanced civilization means my parents are paying 5k a month for my grandma's retirement house, essentially draining all their savings. Is this progress or were multi generation house better ? What's sure is that my parent's 90sqm house they're paying for the last 20 years and will pay for the next 15 years isn't big enough for that

My grandparents afforded 4 kids on a single paycheck, I can barely sustain myself and my gf while having a job in one of the best paying sector. They retired at 60, while working 35 hours per week, at that rate I won't legally be able to retire before 70+ and I'm working 42 hours per week

I'm curious if those pushing the "it's the bad guys keeping everything bad!" model actually believe it, or if it's just a narrative that helps people vent about their political frustrations.

And who knows, their model could be correct. But the unwillingness to consider "tradeoffs" makes me think it's just political angst and not a serious take

That's pretty disingenuous about Tim Sweeney. His main complaint on iOS is that there's no way around the App Store, basically that Apple blocks any app distribution methods besides their official App Store.

Our governments are so dysfunctional and corrupt our only hope is that AI will actually be benevolent and can help guide us and solve problems. Because, as the comic, and thousands of other examples show, our governments aren't actually capable of leading and solving problems, even when the problems are blatant. Same when the solution is easy, but it will cause the wealthy to lose money, see US health care and taxation systems.
Bear in mind, if you buy a daily ticket, which by cheapest is like 2 euros per day, you only get 2GB of fast speed, after that it's very slow.

I don't get it why E-sims are so crap compared to regular sims.
I haven't actually made use of this yet, but Google Fi lets you purchase additional data-only SIM cards for $5 or $10 and then the data gets billed at $1/GB at the same rate without any minimum. So if you're only sending a few KB a day, you pay almost nothing.

Great article!
Many many apps are made with JS, HTML and CSS and run in a thin wrapper on top of WKWebView (Cordova, nowadays Capacitor). It is Electron sans a browser engine and has been around forever. Support for PWAs don't change a thing about how apps are developed at all. They only change how apps are deployed. Hence, your whole point about "better quality apps by banning PWAs" is completely wrong.
like it or not; Europe has drawn the line. Apple is doing it's best to only put one foot over and leave one foot on the other side.
Ok - so you're arguing that the threshold for monopoly should be well below 50%? And that should apply to any company that passed that threshold?

For example, Tesla has a monopoly on electric cars?

Windows does, it's called Winpe. It's what the Windows installer media runs, but you can (could?) create your own images that boot straight to desktop. Winpe images that included a third-party screen reader were somewhat popular among the blind community at one point, before Narrator (the built-in screen reader) got decent and Microsoft started including it and related components in the installer. I think the original rationale behind this feature was the ability to make custom disks with data recovery tools and such.

Mac OS can boot from external volumes too. It's not a traditional live image, the volume is usually writable and it's a real copy of Mac OS. We're probably talking actual HDD or SSD portable hard drives here, not flash drives, Mac OS isn't that small. You need a Mac to run one of these of course. No idea if this works across computers on Apple Silicon. The new Macs store a lot of the encryption and boot policy stuff in the SE, so I have no idea if booting an unrecognized system would actually work.
I don't know about this advice, you ain't gonna need half the features it talks about, and you absolutely can build it out gradually as your business grows.

You do need to understand the concepts of invoices, credit, tax periods, pro-rata billing changes and so on... but all of that knowledge can be used to make an informed decision on build vs buy, rather than an automatic reason to outsource.

The only external API you need for software-as-a-service is a credit card processor, two if you're fancy. Sure after the first year you will probably have a bunch of manual work to do and your accountants will tell you the dumb stuff you've done, and you'll learn a lot about accounting :)

(I would still shop around to start a new business today, but with the confidence that building isn't very scary)

It is vital to understand how you can maintain your motivation on side projects. Of course it's ok but it should not become the question of your personal development at the end.
graph go up means world more gooder - that's the real simpletons reasoning, a literal moron writing that more people equals a better world, an idiot who disregards social and economic reasons why we can't have so called "geniuses. we're currently around 8 billion people on the planet, there's enough "genius" and "talent" out there, they just lack access to education, to jobs, to clean water and nutritious food. there's probably more that one person who could add value to the world who's stuck gluing sneakers for cents a day somewhere. I guess it gets the unfuckable right wing natalists going and it's the easier to understand solution for these 'tards, because really solving the problem requires actual effort and intelligence.

As a citizen of a country where prepaid access is the norm, it's just DNS (mis)redirection. People call it "captive portal".

When your quota runs out everything you access resolves to the same address, which is an internal web site where you can buy more data.

And yes, it does not work if you use a custom DNS such as Cloudflare or Google Public DNS, or if you try to reach a HTTPS page. But they don't care, as it's a minority that does this. Android already has support for captive portals, and shows a notification when it detects one.
If you’re the kind of person putting Easter eggs in libraries knowing full well that it will be used in what you would call “dehumanized” settings*, please put in an advance notice that professional (or dehumanized, or whatever) people shouldn’t use your stuff. People will never use your stuff again after the sabotage anyway, why not make it clear up front unless you derive pleasure from chaos?

It’s also very weird that professionalism is somehow “USofA centric” to you.

* Thanks Semaphor for jogging my memory with the link. It was a corporate open source project ffs, with clear marketing and expectations that it should be safe for “dehumanized” settings.
It's getting expensive but it used to be extremely cheap, in the middle east or even in the US you had natural oil springs where petroleum literally flowed out of the ground, same for coal before that, if we somehow fuck it up and go back 200 years in the past tech wise there will never be a new industrial revolution

Cost to lives is free here, same as cost for the future or cost to the environment. If we had to pay for these we'd be in deficit. The simple issue of old oil fields leaking methane would already render most of their operators bankrupt if they had to fix the problem

You must be buying a seriously expensive luxury car if they can knock a couple grand off before you set foot on the lot. I don't think a Corolla (sort of my standard for reliable A to B transportation) even has that much margin at MSRP. Different strokes and all that, but I doubt this process would work for me and most buyers.

It allows people to say no and maintain their private data. Privacy might be meaningless to you but it's important for a lot of people and if browsing will be slightly more annoying to use due to malicious compliance by some websites, so be it.
On a side note, I've briefly searched for the "I should be allowed to beat my kids" thing and I can see zero evidence he ever said this or defended it.

It's a pretty big smear, so you should substantiate it.
Does VMWare software do much more then VM handling? Is there something extra they provide to make it worth paying that much? I have only ever worked a little with the free product.

Also, what are the alternatives proprietary and open? And what are those solutions missing? Hopefully this is good news for the open project, getting more commercial support and more users.

Also sounds like good news for people like Oxide. If costumers are already considering leaving VMWare and need to do a lot of software changes, they might be willing to make a larger step for new hardware as well.

I highly recommend his book on Wolfenstein 3D (mentioned at the end of the article). Even though it's technical, it is not dry or boring. And there are lots of old-school tricks and optimizations, like 64 unwrapped functions for scaling wall textures, storing the sprites "sideways", managing the wacky graphics card, and hacking the graphics modes to even be able to display something like a game in the first place.
You can’t just shut down the fossil fuel industry before you have alternative green energy infrastructure in place, this is a multi decade project. Otherwise the price of oil shoots up and you get inflation which affects most people’s ability to get by. “Populist anger” might be justified if people have a hard time paying their bills.
