Easy to say they’re sitting on a gusher of cash that was bought with hundreds of millions of ZIRP dollars worth of ads and a time when fantasy everything was nascent. They were in an absolute dogfight with Draftkings and losing iirc. I’m sure things look rosy now but back then there wasn’t really any way to say if they’d win and that’s reflected in the terms they raised at.

Way too often I see people signaling as they turn, not because they are trying to communicate with other road users but because it’s the law. Indicate your intent first and then take the indicated action.

Diamond’s ideas seemed pretty intuitive to me. The idea that geography is the primary shaper of civilisations seems _very_ likely to be true in general. I’ve read other books on the impact of geography on military defence and how that shapes geopolitics, for example.

Having worked in academia for many years, when I see academics attack a book such as GGS my instinct is to question their motives. Academics can be very egotistical and territorial. A priori, it is very difficult to imagine a situation where academics would say to any book like Diamond’s “oh yes this is a really great point and we need to learn from this guy” and very very likely to say “this guy doesn’t know anything about (less important factors that I know a lot about)! What an idiot! He even gets the date of this event wrong, proving I am clever and he is wrong.”

So when I hear about academics attacking something that seems to be fairly obviously correct at least at a very general level, my instinct is not “oh, yes, this guy must be completely wrong” but rather “this guy is probably mostly right but of course there will be a lot of other factors and it will be very easy to pick apart his book if you so wish, especially if your ego relies on you finding fault with him.”

I’m not so easily dissuaded that GGS isn’t mostly right that geography and in particular agricultural factors are the broad strokes of history, rather than the less permanent and smaller scale “Gaussian noise” of cultural events that intuitively are likely to mostly even out over time.

Are you aware of Theia IDE?

I've been using this as a way of quickly putting a UI over an EC2 instance.

Could you advise on how you'd do the equivalent here? Eg., say I want to provide an EC2 machine with various packages installed (python, node,...) -- or, the equivalent docker image -- is there a way of using your UI to provide access to this?

Consider, eg., using an iPad with your UI in a browser. Could you advise a way that this could provide a complete development experience for datasci/seng? (As above, i'm using theia to do this in a quick-and-disposable way).
Tesla wiper? Just push the wiper button on the left stalk and you can cycle through the speed settings with the left funky switch (multi function button) in addition to the on screen display options that then pop up. Very easy to do.

Dell exec reveals Nvidia has a 1,000-watt GPU in the works
When I was ten years old or so I was going to fly home from Spain to Sweden together with my younger sister. My mother worked for a travel company that also operated the aircraft. There were no seats available but we had school starting after the summer break in a few days. So it was considered important that we get home.

They decided to put us in the cockpit in the DC-8, which had five seats, pilot, co-pilot, engineer (?) and two more seats. We got to partake in the takeoff and landing as observers, whilst using the flight attendant’s seats during the flight. I it was great as kid to experience that. That isn’t likely to happen today. (Cockpits probably don’t even have extra space.)

Why hasn't a Javascript equivalent of the Apache Commons Java library (or similar) been developed?

When I was a Java developer just about everybody used it - Lots of widely used, tested, organised, and trusted utility functionality: https://commons.apache.org/

Presumably most decent packaging tools will strip out any unused code, it stops less experienced developers reinventing the wheel and importing another dependency without thought.
Working without pay is the reddest of red flags in any company. It’s not even a business at that point - it’s a volunteer gig.
Volume is on the steering wheel.

A/C is automatic and I don't need to touch it the vast majority of the time. While driving the most I might want to do is adjust the temperature, and since it's not safety critical I can choose a convenient time. It's at the bottom of the screen so it is easy to do by grabbing behind the bezel and only requires a quick glance to align your thumb. In practice I glance at physical A/C controls when adjusting them too, so I don't see a big difference here.

If you really need to adjust the temperature so often and can't stand the thought of using the touchscreen, you can assign that function to the left scroll wheel.

Not Teslas, unfortunately. The auto wipers are trash and always will be because Tesla refuses to add a dedicated sensor. It's a double whammy: handicapped auto mode and awful manual controls.
I bought one to turn an old monitor into a 'TV' to watch Netflix, Youtube, Amazon in one of the bedroom.

Cheap and convenient.

At the moment their market cap is $9B, which is still quite high, IMHO. They just spiked during Covid like everything else that was perceived as lockdown/WFH friendly. Of course it was all a bubble.
Whoah, thank you for sharing. I only knew that just like dictionaries, there are quite a few implementation choices when making a graph, depending on what operations the algorithms needs to do often, and how sparse the data is.
I wonder if this is because fewer desktops are being bought (in favour of laptops), and those who remain on desktop are disproportionately Linux users.

Largest desktop market is china.
It's probably obvious to most, but I wish headlines like these would clarify _desktop_ market share. Linux has had majority market share in the server space for decades now.
Cars for 15-20 years have had good automatic wipers, they're just becoming more widely available now (and evs are generally in the price range where it's expected). Well... except for Tesla. They decided that a person can tell when wipers are needed just by using their eyes, so certainly they could save a buck or so and do it using just a camera.

> but not so much when talking about Africa, which was in constant contact with Europe

Sort of, but it wasn’t exactly direct and straightforward, the Sahara was close to impassable and following the Atlantic coast was infeasible until the ~1500. And there were pretty complex civilizations in Ethiopia, Mali etc. in later periods when trade/travel become more feasible.

You also have the climate in sub-Saharan Africa which is generally not very hospitable and there are far enough to the South didn’t really have much contact with Eurasia at all.

> Romans explored into Sub-Saharan Africa in the 1st century BC; Turks and Arabs had established trade routes deep into Africa by the 6th century AD; the Indian Ocean, including the coast of Africa was continually interconnected through trade going back to the bronze age at least, and trade caravans across the Sahara have been recorded in ancient Egyptian records.

I confused. I assumed that you were talking about much earlier periods, are you saying that there weren’t complex civilizations in sub-Saharan Africa during those times? And yes while the Romans could get past the Sahara (like the Carthaginians allegedly were able to reach the Souther hemisphere or even sail around Africa) it was hard, expensive and rarely worth the effort so there was very little direct contact.
This is desktop only.

Linux is market leader once you bring in mobile, embedded and so on.
I do not think I could distinguish any difference in the NYC of the 1850's vs 1910's (before cars were popularized). Electricity was available for the first time in 1890, but the first application was textile mills. The first skyscraper was 11 stories in 1890? I don't think 1 person in a thousand could distinguish those time periods.
That's an amazing blogpost for techies!

On the diet side, I'm living with almost no carbs for 2 years and over time my ability to turn fat into energy changed significantly, to the point I can do any activity I was doing before as long as I keep in check my sodium and potassium intake.

You can find people doing well with Type 1 and carnivore and you can find people telling you your insulin resistance will worsen.

I'd experiment regardless of what you find on the internet or the doctor tells you.

I spent two years of hell (not diabetes though, frequent diarrhea, stomach ulcers, blood in stool) following doctors indications and ended up with non sensical prescriptions and a low fat diet as a recommendation, when a high fat diet fixed all the symptoms in a week.
This is desktop market share! Overall Linux market share is like what nowadays?

EDIT: Depending on how you count, its more around 50% according to Wikipedia.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_sys...

Interestingly the highest market share is in supercomputing with 100% of the top 500 since 2017. This is followed by the server market. "Big Iron" Linus said and the biggest iron it was.

Your employer must be good then. Lots of companies don't hire and fire sick employees. Actually it's generally advised not to share one's medeical information at workplace.

I even read recently about the case of a worker who wasn't promoted despite everyone else expected him to be promoted. His sin ? He told briefly one of his colleagues that his car got stuck and he was tired of fixing it every now and then.

The promotion involves commuting for a certain distance. His manager told him he would have promoted him but he heard his car was not fit.
AMD may have failed to dumb down its chips enough to allow China sales
I've heard some of the newer cars have pretty good voice controls, especially on the more expensive models. However, the companies tend to put these behind a subscription wall, which I hate. I don't want my car to be always connected to the cloud. I'll do my navigation via my phone, and nothing else requires connectivity (except perhaps if I had an EV and wanted to schedule charging stops).
And moving a network protocol implementation into PID1 is good why? So any security vulnerability in the DHCP implementation gives you root.
Not an expert, but I have the sense that some times toddlers do things just so they can interact with adults. Knowing that I get the sense that they might learn more from an actual person than from a screen everything else being equal.

Munich's train connection is not really good. Nearly no long distance trains and a very long travel time to Munich main station where you need to change unless Munich is your final destination. So you lose over an hour, nearly 2 taking the notorious unreliability of German trains these days into account.

Frankfurt is not a pleasant airport but at least it has a long-distance, high-speed train station.
Correct. But then maybe OP lives somewhere where roundabouts aren't very common so they never ran into that usecase.

The title doesn't say "next to". It says "960MW nuclear data center campus".

What makes it "nuclear"? Well in this case it's because it's next to a nuclear power plant, but it would be just as valid to use that wording for a campus that contains a nuclear power plant. In fact I think the latter is more straightforward.

And funnily enough if you look at the picture, it looks like it's one big campus too!

It's a French thing - my Peugeot Partner was the same, horn on the indicator stalk.
As an "old" Apple customer, I'm going to say it's well deserved it's not like they didn't work hard for that to happen.
Apple's behavior since a few years after Job's passing (around 2015) has been appalling on many fronts. They take their customers for fools and try very hard to trap them into their prison with very little recourse (and no you don't just get rid of very expensive devices for an alternative, especially if many of your purchases are dependent on the use of one of those devices).

As I get older, I care less and less especially since I am unlikely to purchase another iPhone (at the current price point with the current limitations) or any other Apple devices for that matters. In fact, the moment I decide to replace my Apple watch all the rest will follow in short order.
While the platforms are still nice in some ways, they just don't provide enough lasting value with the current pricing and forced obsolescence (both hardware and software).

Anyway that's good news for everyone because in the futur Apple and their friends will maybe think twice before fucking over their customers with absurdly anti-competitive rules.

4% starts getting it into the threshold of Nassim Taleb's "intolerant minority" to take effect. It is too big of a market share to be served only by a niche player like System76 or Starlite, so we should start seeing all major manufacturers (beyond Dell and their XPS line) to add Linux-only hardware.

And from there, what's stopping them from joining Valve to make Proton work for all the Windows-specific applications that are still used in the enterprise?

Ugh.

OK, then I am going to regard this as "around the same time". Every new C# feature is released "in November", since .NET major releases drop in November every year. That's the release cadence.

But language design decisions of what to add in that release are not done inside that 1 release month, or in any 1 month. They are done over much longer time periods, often incrementally over successive years.

Sorry you went thru this.

Not an expert, but my advice to you is to stop blaming your parents. The reason is when you blame others and make yourself a victim, you train yourself to believe that things are out of your hands. Going forward you have a choice. Use it. So your parents stunted your growth; what will you do about your future growth now?
That's not super useful advice for founders who (really) need some investment from the get go.
