The service is owned by the Saudis…and in the Counter-Strike world there was a company called ESEA that is now owned by the same group and being merged into the FACEIT system. Well, esea was doing some nefarious bitcoin mining on people’s computers (https://www.theverge.com/2013/5/2/4292672/esea-gaming-networ...). While that is old it’s one of the issues with allowing a kernel level cheat. The amount of data that also could potentially be collected.
> allow tiny teams to manage large domains

Is that a virtue of the language (Clojure/lisp/any other) or a virtue of the 5 experienced programmers?

I ask because I’ve never delved deep into any language of the lisp family but I have seen that small experienced teams tend to produce good work regardless of the stack they choose. My guess is the recipe for good outcomes is: experience with the chosen stack + experience working together + small-ish team.
Not if you're writing a library/framework that other people use though.

If all you do is consume other people's library/frameworks then yeah, nothing really matters, do whatever you want, refactor at will.
Ok I tried to get this to work for a long time ~6 months ago. It doesn’t work. You can find datasets where it will work, but if you select random datasets you generally see 0 correlation between the predicted and actual values.
The US law is very expensive to comply with. Probably the most expensive in the world. Incorporate a subsidiary only and only if there’s a check in your hand. Then too, consider an LLC.

There are certain expectations if you brand yourself as preservation organization. At least shop around when you are going to destroy what appears to be significant collection. You should have some connections and channels for this.

Most of these economic revenge ideas turn out to be massively counter productive.

Why is the press somehow making this out to be such a security matter? Seems like this is just a simple case of theft in the amount of three or $400. I failed to see how there’s any real security issue here. The man went through security his bags were checked, ID was checked to ensure he wasn’t on a no fly list.

This seems like a petty crime.

Worse the newscaster has to go and say it’s *our* problem that our “private information” is being taken. Sorry he was stealing a $400 flight from the airline. Don’t try to pin that on the port customers. It should be of no concern to us. If someone steals my barcode what do I care? I’m still going to get on the plane. It’s their crappy system that permits this, please don’t burden the consumer with managing your security.

FWIW Ticketmaster barcodes can’t be screenshotted (they’re dynamic). Seems the airlines should just improve their tech.
What are some examples?

I've gotten rid of almost everything I own twice by moving 7000 miles twice. I regret it.

Books, toys, trinkets, etc. I saw these, thought "I haven't opened these or touched them since I bought them". Turns out, there were memories associated with each one. Just seeing them would remind me of a time and a place. What I was doing, who my friends were, where I was, then I bought that thing. They all sat on bookshelves and I threw them away. I suppose I can go look at a picture of the shelves but it's not the same as glancing at them and having them trigger memories.

Tools, and supplies. I recently moved to a smaller apartment. I had a few boxes of things like left over parts from assembling furniture from 2 apartments previous. The day after I threw them out I needed them. All this stuff I have, 3 kinds of hole punchers, 4 kinds of tape (electrical, duct, masking, cellophane), a rarely need any of them except for maybe the cellophane. If I went by when "have I used it in the last 3 years I'd have thrown the first 3 away. But, that one day when I need it I'll be glad to have it. Same goes for various kinds of bandages, cooking utensils, boardgames, stationary supplies, gift wrapping supplies, ....

Another good example might be clothing. Yes, I do throw things away. But, there are various items I haven't used in years, long jeans for snow, high top hiking boots, thick socks, rash guards, etc.. that if I go by "have I used it recently" then I'd throw them out.

I'm not saying keep everything and no, no one will want this stuff. But, seeing both grandfathers basically have a maker-space full of stuff, and use it, makes me jealous that I didn't stick in one place and slowly build up my dragon horde of stuff too :P
Agreed, I'm very annoyed it doesn't support PPS. A whole host of issues made me buy a small pc instead recently and the price difference was negligible.
You don’t learn by talking, you learn by listening. And you’re talking too much about Japan for someone who knew nothing about the place and extrapolated that it must be like Europe.
Not necessarily and it depends a lot on what the materials were. IEEE publications were mentioned, it was founded in 1963 and there's a good chance that anything from the first 10 years may no longer be in archives unless donated back by a recipient.

I didn't see where it correlates any decline with EVs versus less driving - was that somewhere in the article, or a given? I could think a lots of reasons (including a very big one) for lower auto emissions over the past 10+ years.

I believe the person quit the organization, wasn't pushed out.

At one point in time there was problems with the storage space that VCF has. I believe it was fixed. VCF is not a wealthy organization, and is hosted by another underfunded organization. Needs capital to renovate for expansion but it's slow going.
ICE cars are also more efficient and less poluting, which could also account for some of the decline.
Also a question of how long stuff will really stay around on the internet.
> As for this case, the prohibition on selling mod tools/services is certainly to protect the game manufacturers; if there's a perception that it's easy and safe to cheat in the game then players' incentive to spend (whether via microtransactions or future releases) goes way down, and so does the publisher's revenue, and so do tax receipts. I can't help noting that Japan's game industry isn't engaging in mass layoffs over the last few years, suggesting that maybe they know what they're doing.

There is 0 chance whatever prohibition on selling mods had any impact on mass layoffs happening or not happening.

In my LA neighborhood, it's trucks with mud tires and old german cars modified to go POP POP POP that annoy me the most. Loud exhaust is a very very close third. Loud diesel being first. Followed by V6s lol.

I don't understand people who put straight pipes on a Jeep Wrangler with a V6. I just don't. I have a Jeep Wrangler with a V6 and the engine sounds fine with the stock exhaust - in fact with the JLs I think that's the ONLY way they sound good. I think every third party wrangler exhaust sounds awful.
Shouldn't brake dust be down too due to regenerative braking?
You can feel good. the carbon debt from manufacturing is amortized over the life of the car. As long as the car is driven more than 19,000 miles, EVs are better.

I mean, OK, sure, but if you're the museum that discards this material as a matter of course, well, now you know why Jason Scott is going to spend the next several years shredding your reputation online, right?

The next museum or library will, I assume, be more careful.

Well yes, hybrid working isn't generally a way to save office space. It's a way to help workers be more productive and also to give them time to deal with their non-work responsibilities.
At low temps COP is lower, meaning you'll not get 4 units of heat for 1 unit of energy spent, but COP is still higher than 1 meaning using heat pump is still cheaper than using basic electric resistive heating.

Japan is a very different country than most think it is. Most seem to remember the Japan of the past when they were a technological and economic giant, set to imminently become the largest global economy. Japan today has been through 30 years of recession/stagflation. Their economy was larger 30 years ago than it is today. [1] On top of a dysfunctional economy, they also are going through severe demographic collapse. The population of Japan has decreased by more than 5 million people since 2010 [2], and that decline is accelerating. Even the population of places like Tokyo are decreasing.

As a result of these factors, Japan now has an economy closer to a developing nation than the economic superpower many of us remember. Their GDP/capita is $33,000, and average monthly wages (for workers only) is now $1900 [3], for an average annual salary of $22,800. And all of of this combines to create a direct path to really affordable housing, at least so long as you aren't living off of Japanese wages.

The technical influences of language are, theoretically, very small. As far as I can tell anything can be built in anything (evidenced by the remarkable number of great applications written in JavaScript of all languages).

But Clojure is a language that supports [0] that sort of team better than Java or Python (I won't say Rust or Go because it isn't really a first choice for systems programming). The Clojure community also has a cultural expectation that teams will be small and highly skilled, for obvious reasons.

> A lot of old stuff has no value to anyone. That can be hard to accept, but it's true. Even old wood furniture -- no one wants it. Old PC or Byte Magazines? Forget it; they're all over.

In a marketplace we might say that something has the value someone else is will pay for it. In case of donations like these it's somewhat tricky, it has the value someone is willing to take good care of it and preserve it. That's why it hurts in a way, they threw it away so it signals: that it had no value that's not even worth calling the person to pick it back up.

I've seen this happen with my own family. Some older family member thinks their collectables they have been saving are super valuable, only to find out that nobody in the family wants them. That's painful for them to accept that, understandably, so it has to be handled with care.

Another thing to think about is if it matters if it's Jason Scott. Should they have marked the boxes specially and treated the contents with a lot more care just because of who he is? That would have probably been smart from a PR standpoint. Maybe there is a chance some volunteer didn't know who Jason Scott is? But it would seem equally silly to now come out and say, sorry we didn't know it was you, Jason, we would have called back or kept them otherwise.

> It's amazing windows can do what it does on virtually -any- hardware.

Not disagreeing, but I think one of the major defining factors behind this is that most OEMs specifically design their hardware and drivers to work with Windows first. If they did the same for Linux instead, suddenly Linux would start to work with everything. Because having each individual piece of hardware support Linux has a much higher success rate than hoping an incomplete sweep over the available hardware by Linux will have covered everything that makes up a particular machine

> If base classes were only allowed to be used in inheritance and couldn't be parameters, generics, etc then that would force users to create base classes and public interfaces in pairs

Which, if its a common thing, suggests that there should be syntax for like:

interface IFoo from FooBase;

That makes an interface from the public members of a class.

Or, perhaps even better, type systems should enablr.a distinction between:

class ConcreteFoo inherits FooBase; // normal implementation inheritance
class ConcreteFoo implements FooBase;
// is required to (compiler checked) present the public interface of FooBase, and is type-compatible, but doesn't inherit implementation

So concrete classes can also serve as interfaces, and purely abstract classes are identical to interfaces.

> Tesla warns owners that opening their doors or windows while installing a software update could damage the vehicle

Such a steaming pile of dogshit.

I shouldn't be surprised, given that a component manufacturer employee relayed this tale of an email exchange with Tesla:

"Hey, we sent you over the new firmware for the component, check it out."

(The test suite for this component takes approximately 36 hours to complete.

Three hours later:

"This is working so much better, thanks a lot!"

"???"

"Oh, we just flashed a car we have here and took it out for a spin."

"?!?"

Oof.
Mostly, NPR isn't publicly funded. It gets about 1% of its funding from the federal government. Public radio stations that carry NPR shows get more, but it's only about 17% from federal, state, and local governments. Some of them are also funded by universities, some of which are public.
I dislike this change as much as most people here. However, I do see a situation where it could be warranted. They might simply block all versions because there aren't any version that are actually compatible yet, and once there are it'll get updated. That of course presumes they'll continue treating StartAllBack as they have been so far.

Saw this headline and wondered what ridiculous interpretation of reality it took to get there, and this one didn’t disappoint.

She never was actually trapped. Even if the electrical door release had stopped working (it hadn’t) there is still the mechanical release, which she consciously decided not to use. Because Tesla has a boilerplate warning against using the car while it’s updating.
Of course, but maybe the ethos that makes the industry stable there (and presumably drives its lobbying efforts) is a good fit for the society in which it exists.

> if housing is so affordable in Japan, why are there still people who don't own homes?

You literally have it the wrong way around. There's less incentive to own homes in countries where housing prices fall. Owning a home actually costs you money, it isn't a good investment in the absence of artificial scarcity. In Japan a house is a consumer good like a car, in fact on average the value of most houses drops to about zero in 30-40 years.

Some of the richest countries in the world have the lowest rates of personal home ownership, Switzerland, Germany, Japan among them because it isn't an investment vehicle and rent protections are good. This narrative of being desperate to own a home just doesn't make any sense.
