It was a great membership bennie.

And kind of like software, in that there was a big investment up front (by AAA) to develop the system and all the pages, but then they could crank out specific itineraries cheaply and on demand.
If you know where to look, you will find it. If you don't, you don't.

For someone new to Rust, I don't see why you'd expect them to expect to see a "path separator" between the function name and it's call in x.collect::<Vec<_>>(). A more likely path to discovery is via the Generics link (discovered from "<" being so prominent there), which shows the ::<> syntax in context of const values, and that isn't actually very helpful for understanding.
No but they can get into electricity generation and sell it wholesale (by the kilowatt or megawatt hour) to gas stations like they do with liquid gasoline.

They have the massive amounts of money to make those investments and sell them to gas stations the same way they do now.
If you want to do any sort of app development (mobile, desktop, web) I'd chose Dart and Flutter.

I mentioned I never saw a difference in my daily life specifically, in response to a Trump presidency being called "dystopian". I was of course alive when Labour was in charge and have memories of that time, but people still went by their daily lives just the same from what I can tell.

The same goes for much on your list, except for increasing inequality which impacts people's standards of living. Some other comments produced better lists regarding the impact of his presidency (things I had not heard before and some which I wasn't think of like the pandemic - although I'mm not really sure either way how much better someone else would be in his place for that one).

(Brexit did shake things up when that happened - I was hearing about jobs being paused at the time and people being unable to work.)

one potential difference is that it already offers a $5/month paid version, not sure how long it took for Imgur to do that. so at least it has the potential to not need ads ever, but fully dependent on whether the revenue from the paid version can pay for the costs of the free version (500 MB offered for free users).

Edit: but indeed I am usually annoyed by the "Privacy first, no ads forever!!!111" marketing. Unless it's some bitTorrent like technology that decentralizes the load, it's not really possible forever.

A friend bought land to build a house on where dowsing was culturally pervasive. He knew it was bogus but it was cheap compared to the land price and everybody around was heavily pushing it. An old guy came out and, during the performance, told him the total history of the land parcel, including stuff that would be inappropriate in formal disclosures ("those neighbors are assholes" etc). They did hit water, but the whole area is pretty verdant.
I bet Salami slicing[1] explains part of it. Before publish or perish culture, It was more common to see more complete papers, that gave a holistic view of the subject, easier to understand and appreciate. Now those papers are sliced into N least publishable units, less interesting and harder to get the big picture in isolation, but hey, why to have one paper when you can have five?

> Would you mind explaining what the negative practical consequences would be in the event of a Trump nomination?

Simply put, Trump and the current conservative majority would like to make the health and welfare of people I love illegal. It's in both Agenda 47 and Project 2025. Laws that continue this trend are being passed in most states where the conservative majority is in power.

Their health care would be banned.

Their lifestyle would be made illegal.

Their freedoms would be curtailed.

Those are the practical consequences that I care about most right now. There are more, but this is the top of my list.
Sure -- I use such a setup sometimes when visiting family.

It's not ideal, however; it's 66 hours continuously to add 200 miles of range to an older S; for more efficient cars (that get 4 or 5 miles of range an hour) it's still going to be 40 hours.

Such a setup is totally untenable if you're hanging an electric cord out your window and over a sidewalk or through trees or whatever, if you can even get a parking space within extension cord range of your car...

Also, broadly -- running a random outlet at 12a continuously for 60 hours may break things in unpleasant ways.
Thank you for explaining this. I’m looking at the links and the models to see what works best for me.

This article touches on it but to me the most offensive part of a polygraph is the presumption of guilt if you refuse to take one. This is very much on purpose, of course, given as the author accurately states, its purpose isn't to detect lies, it's a tool used for coercion.

There was a big robbery at a place I worked, luckily I was not a suspect but the FBI came and administered polygraphs to anyone who could have done it. I asked what happens if someone refuses, and the answer was basically "they won't."

Of course it ended up being someone that didn't even work there. The test was clearly for intimidation purposes, at least from the view I had.

> We probably need new chemistries to get the seasonal storage potential of pumped hydro.

Yup. It might be possible to overbuild solar/wind to solve the problem (just need enough juice to offset the night). Won't be possible with current chemistries to have enough power to cover cloudy days or snow-covered solar panels.

> it seems while folks have been gnashing teeth on how expensive they are

This to me seems like a fixed perception based on outdated information. Batteries were quite expensive and required loads of rare earth/horrible chemicals to produce... 30 years ago when NiCd was fairly prominent. Now they are dirt cheap and due to get even cheaper with sodium ion coming to market. We are already manufacturing TWh of batteries yearly. Enough that we could theoretically have a full day backup everywhere in 10 to 20 years without any growth in manufacturing capacity.

mozilla builds firefox for android (fennec). a perfectly functional browser.

Then they remove:

- dev tools (understandable, but it's weird because it works perfectly if you dont' remove)

- the ADDED code to create a list of white-listed extensions! And never updated the list in over a decade!

- they prevent you from accessing about:config

- they remove 80% of the settings from the settings screen.

- They disable user.js and user.css

- they add full google suit client library code when they only claim to use the screen cast (which do not require the full client, which is only needed if you also show ads from google network...)

- probably many more things

- the f-droid build just don't do any of that crap. simply builds and packages and distribute. a perfectly functional browser. With a fully verifiable build too! because you didn't add external binaries and undocumented steps.
In looking up more information on this topic in general. I came upon this [1] paper on the Tuskegee Study. It's an absolutely encyclopedic work that covers the historical context, parallel programs, and much more with an absurd level of detail and sources galore. So for instance I also thought that no subjects in Tuskegee received penicillin. It turns out this is incorrect and by 1952 27.5% had! [2]

Another really interesting datum is that Georgia in 1945 started carrying out widespread syphilis testing, on the scale of hundreds of thousands of people, reaching 89% testing coverage in one local jurisdiction (which is where I assume Tuskegee was located). The interesting thing is that 30% of black individuals and 3% of white individuals tested positive for syphilis. People wouldn't have known the exact numbers back when this the Tuskegee study started (in 1932), but with such ridiculously high rates of infection, they'd have had a general idea.

How do you think that would shape your views of a people when the Overton Window was wide open? Do you honestly think you'd still have been standing on a moral pedestal? This is why I think it's important to try to do more than just demonize the people involved. Because demonizing them isn't hard. They deserve it, and worse. But at the same time when we demonize them, it's so easy to miss the lessons to be learned because, after all, we aren't demons so surely we couldn't go down the same path again. Yet we almost certainly will if the only lesson we take away is 'don't be evil', because what we see as evil after the fact is not what people, good normal and "moral" people, perceive to be evil in the present. That's history in a nutshell after all.

That's essentially what they already do. The power feed is shared between neighboring chargers which is why you should leave a space between if there's empty stalls.

e.g. a 250kW charger becomes 125 when two cars are parked next to each other.

It only takes a minute to move your car, I don't really find it that big of a deal.
It's still way way way cheaper to "fill" an EV tank in the US because the corresponding electricity charges are also low (in many regions).

It's something like $5-7 to fully charge an EV from 0 where I am (Washington DC suburbs), vs about $50 to fill a tank of gas.

I recently spoke to a cabbie in Madrid that was driving a Tesla, and he said the economics were a no-brainer. He charges at home overnight and once mid-day and his monthly electricity bill was 130 euros. Before that, he was spending over 1,000 euros a month on gas.

That more than makes up for the additional initial cost of having an EV.

I wonder if this is related to people adding ambiguity to what they're saying.

Eg instead of saying "it's 20 degrees outside" they will say "last I checked it was about 20 degrees".

They change their phrasing because they want others to not think that they are wrong. By doing this they undermine their own credibility though.
> A sizable percentage of vehicles have had this OnStar stuff since the 90s or early 2000s

What kind of vehicles, in what countries?

I've never seen or heard of it. I have moved countries 8 times in my life so far, and spent large amounts of time in another one where I never formally lived. I've emigrated once as an adult and then changed citizenship to stay where I was living.

I've never once seen this or even heard a whisper about it ever before in my 56 years.

-----

P.S. My point here is rhetorical. Also, in no country I've ever spent more than a fortnight in is the emergency number "911".

My real point: this blog post, and AFAICS your response, seems to assume that English == American. It doesn't. The majority of English speakers in the world are not American and the language itself does not come from America.

If the article, and your comment, are about American cars from American companies, then they should say so.
The word "safety" has been seriously overloaded lately. I'm used to "safety" meaning actual physical safety measures, like seatbelts, helmets, railings... things keeping you safe from physical injury. When OSHA talks about a "safe" working environment, they're talking about fall protection, harmful chemicals, contagious diseases, and so on.

I don't know what "safety" even means in the context of an LLM that outputs nothing but text. How is text going to cause me to fall off of a forklift or get me hit by a car? How can text injure me?
If you want a mallet you should be using a sledgehammer. Though other smaller hammers can be useful.
You misunderstand. If I, at the assembly level, could express things like "this register ranges from 0 to 4"—I might be able to provide ever-lower levels of the stack with more information about my intent. Maybe the ISA can now do something clever to further optimize my program. Now, there will likely always be a time when all types are erased, but if we can push that erasure lower and lower in the stack, then compilers have more and more information about what we actually want them to do, provided our type systems are rich enough to express that intent.

So the thing is, the link provided is not really intended to be "teach me what syntax means." It is meant to provide a reference for various tokens. And it does that, because the turbofish isn't a single thing, it's a combination of two things.

If the goal of this page was "comprehensively explain Rust syntax to someone who doesn't know Rust," I would agree with you. But it's "produce a spec-like document for experts who want fine-grained details about the language."
I would argue that we already are seeing cults appear and concentrate political power.
I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The committee members have clear interest to keep things as they are. However, from a practical perspective I suspect that “subset lang” will happen. One just needs a linter or compiler flags to do that.
It's pretty hard to drive in a straight line in the UK though, so even though it's 600 miles from John O groats to Lands end, it's actually 840 miles of a drive. Longer if sections of the M6 are closed.

But, I do agree with you. Driving 400 miles here from Edinburgh to Southend is not a straight 400 mile motorway drive at 75mph like it would be in the US, it's practically guaranteed to hit standstill traffic at one point or another. I'm sure you technically _could_ do that journey in one sitting in a car, but the vast, vast majority of people will be pulling over to break, even if it's just to the bathroom.

I drove from Edi to Cornwall , which is about 550 miles. We stopped twice on the journey, once for a coffee/toilet break (15 minutes by the time the coffee was made and we had queued for the toilet), and once for food (45m). Adding 1 hour onto a 9 hour drive was not a deal breaker, and if it was then we wouldn't have made it on time because we were also delayed by numerous breakdowns, accidents, lane closures, horses on the M6. We lost more time to all of that than we did to rest stops.

>> Who descides why something should or should not be written I Python?
Why shouldn't someone who prefers writing in python benefit from using multiple cores?

I did use the words "most things". I'm not saying this is a bad development for Python, or that nobody should use it. But if performance is a top priority, Python is the wrong language and always has been.

I use Python from time to time, it's fun and easy to put certain kinds of things together quickly. But each time I do a project with it, the first thing I ask myself is "is this going to be fast enough?" If not I'll use something else.
I would love something to better visualize the software I'm working with. However...

1: It would need to have dynamic abstraction. Sometimes I need to see very top-level flow and organization, sometimes I need to dig down a bit. I'll essentially never need the lowest level like IF statements as the OP mentions, but I'll definitely need multiple different levels.

2: It would need to have some awareness of the intention of the software, its history, and it would need answers to some questions. It would need to be as competent as a developer experienced with writing the software to really give me any useful insights. It can't get confused because there are some macros sprinkled in, 3-4 different languages interacting, or parts of the software only used when certain environmental variables are set. It needs to handle basically all of the edge cases. If it gets "confused", it'll end up taking more time than it saves.

#1 is doable, but hard.
#2 is basically magic. (For now)

The studies section of Wikipedia is much less compelling than you let on (only two are described, with limited accessibility to the others), but the important question is: do you prize mostly the mechanism or the outcome?

The poster talking about finding water in a desert presumably values the water. The studies are more interested in two related questions: the mechanism of the technique and whether its practitioners understand it. To the latter, the answer is an emphatic 'no'.

For the former, the studies use various experimental schema to evaluate hypothesized mechanisms, each time yielding a refutation of those mechanisms. Going from a refutation of specific mechanisms to a rejection of the practice is extrapolation, not sound science.

Part of living in an intelligible universe is accepting that there are phenomena that await discovery, description, and generalization. Whether that is true of this 'dowsing' technique is a separate question. When a flat-Earther fails to address time zones, distance to the horizon, stars, great circle routes over the poles, etc., this dismissiveness is justified, but that does not appear to be the case from what you have cited, and the practice of science is worse off for you insinuating otherwise.

Edit: All of this is apart from the utility of someone doggedly pursuing a course of action which he is convinced will bear fruit as contrasted to someone timidly sampling among options without ever making equivalent commitment.
The article doesn't really go into why this is an issue, it just says that it's dangerous but doesn't deliver with explaining this danger. It goes even as far as saying that a time without timezone is worthless, but this is not my experience.

A good general rule of thumb is that for things that happened in the past, UTC is generally fine. You only need a timezone if there was some kind of locality to the event (e.g.: when _and_ where this happened), but usually you can convert to local time. So storing UTC time is fine, adding the timezone in rare cases.

For things that are scheduled in the future, usually you will want to store local time + a timezone identifier (in olsen format, not offsets), to guard against timezone/dst changes (yes they happen all the time)

There are exceptions to rule, but at least in my case 90% of the times I work with are timestamps in UTC and 9.99% things that happen in the future where I can apply the localtime + tz rule.

But yes there are exceptions:

* Alarm clocks (if you set an alarm at 8am, you typically don't want this to shift when you travel). This is called floating time
* If you need records of when something was originally scheduled vs when it actually happened if a timezone change occurred.
* If you need to handle the awkward DST time change where every time between 1 and 2am happen twice.
Interesting that neither the original article nor any of the comments so far mention MATLAB's Communications Toolbox, which is probably one of the most widely used visual programming languages.

No, for longer drives multiple times per week with no return home in between them, an ICE is hard to beat. If you're driving 250 miles a day and returning home then it's a no brainer - you don't even need to stop for petrol.

There really should be a 'from_utc_timestamp(...)' which will cover 99% of timestamp parsing in Python.

Vue, react and svelte don't earn anything I suppose, but then again I'm no expert in this field.

I guess like some other here have commented, techniques have to be implemented to minimize training time and I suppose the government needs to fund studies which then will benefit the general population to make it possible to train and host AI models.
