However, recently there was a healthy thread about the massive trackers found in mobile apps[1] which wouldn't be a problem with PWAs since they live in the same sandbox as the browser (meaning no exfiltrating all the shit) but yet can one-click launch from the normal app mechanisms and (AFAIK) can be the subject of Intent handlers just like apps

Front end developers bear the responsibility for this nonsense, and many of the guilty post in this very forum!

There is nothing in what you described that couldn't be accomplished with late 90s-era technology.

Why is an app needed? A simple web page with basic HTML, enter number plate or space number, enter payment info, submit, done. No browser features introduced in the last 20 years are needed. The only improvement is enhancements to security - so we're up to TLS 1.3.

Do we really need spinning pinwheels and bleeding edge web standards to process a simple payment?

Well technically anything can be a shuttle because specifically the thing that makes it a shuttle is the operating pattern (repeated point to point service) rather than the machine itself.

Etymology-wise a shuttle was a type of weaving tool which is why the verb shuttle exists, i.e. to rapidly move back and forth across a length (as if you were weaving a thread into a piece of fabric).

So then you got shuttle trains which frequently ran back and forth. And from there other types of shuttle services (shuttle buses, shuttle vans, etc).

And of course eventually the space shuttle being intended to be a launch vehicle designed for shuttle service to and from orbit. (side note but technically if the SpaceX Starship actually achieves it's intended sub-24h turn around it'd be able to qualify as a shuttle provided it ran a fixed point to point route on a regular basis).
as Apple intended.
The motto of the Royal Society:

"The Royal Society's motto 'Nullius in verba' was adopted in its First Charter in 1662. is taken to mean 'take nobody's word for it'. It is an expression of the determination of Fellows to withstand the domination of authority and to verify all statements by an appeal to facts determined by experiment."

It's highly consistent with the statement above and in many ways is consistent with science as it is practiced.
Hey Tammilore. I see your updates to the README and it's appreciated.

And I don't mind people building on top of zerox of course, that's why it's open source. I flagged this because it was originally passed off as your own work.

Although general best practice here would be to fork the repo, that way you could make updates, and always pull in upstream changes as we roll them out. It seems like your implementation [1] could have very easily just pulled in the npm package.

None of that is at all relevant to the point I was making. Whether you think extreme wealth inequality is good or bad, for as long as it exists, it makes paying fixed fees a poor alternative to captchas.
The code that caused the issue is DVL, which isn’t a “local UK code”, it is a code used by the FAA for a location in the US and a code used by EASA for a location in France. And I didn’t say ICAO issued the codes, I said the process of issuing them by regional/national aviation authorities is “ultimately overseen by ICAO”, which I believe is correct.
If you keep reading to the next few sentences I point out that the utility has sunk costs, so I understand you point quite well already.

> Your work life would be completely fucked

Not mine, but actually every single company in the US, yours included. I don't know of any companies that tolerate racism or bigotry in general.

I don't think Trump supporters or conservatives are evil at all. I think they're largely radicalized at this point. Most conservatives I meet seem completely unable to voice conservative opinions without resorting to bigotry - this includes our president elect.

There's nothing wrong with conservative opinions and actually everyone is on the same page about that. But can you be pro-life without calling women sluts and whores? Can you be anti-gay without telling people they deserve AIDS? Can you be anti-trans without calling them tra*ies?

For a lot of conservatives, the answer to those questions is no. Okay, then the next question is - is that type of behavior allowed at work? Of course not.

So put the pieces together yourself - where does that leave those people? This isn't a rhetorical question.

"Science advances one funeral at a time" [0]

The Scientific Principle (hypothesis -> experiment -> conclusion and all that) does not pay any heed to authority and received wisdom. And it should not; the experiment results are all that matter.

Academia, the set of very human organisations that have grown to manage our implementation of the Scientfic Principle, are a long way from perfect and are heavily influenced by authority and received wisdom.

So yeah, I don't think it's the essence of science, but distrusting authority and received wisdom definitely required to practice good science.

The article seems specific to JavaScript, C# is different.

> you cannot await in a sync function

In C# it’s easy to block the current thread waiting for an async task to complete, see Task.Wait method.

> since it will never resolve, you can also never await it

In C#, awaiting for things which never complete is not that bad, the standard library has Task.WhenAny() method for that.

> let's talk about C#. Here the origin story is once again entirely different

Originally, NT kernel was designed for SMP from the ground up, supports asynchronous operations on handles like files and sockets, and since NT 3.5 the kernel includes support for thread pool to dispatch IO completions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input/output_completion_port

Overlapped I/O and especially IOCP are hard to use directly. When Microsoft designed initial version of .NET, they implemented thread pool and IOCP inside the runtime, and exposed higher-level APIs to use them. Stuff like Stream.BeginRead / Stream.EndRead available since .NET 1.1 in 2003, the design pattern is called Asynchronous Programming Model (APM).

Async/await language feature introduced in .NET 4.5 in 2012 is a thin layer of sugar on top of these begin/end asynchronous APIs which were always there. BTW, if you have a pair of begin/end methods, converting into async/await takes 1 line of code, see TaskFactory.FromAsync.
At certain odds, statistical likelihood is evidence
As an example of how perfidious some of the discussions on web standards are, on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_browser_engines

In teeny tiny font near the bottom:

"Given the market-share dominance of Blink-based browsers,[4] if Google chooses to not support a standard, like JPEG XL,[30][31] it will not become relevant on the Web.[30][31] Such standards are not listed in these tables."

So if Chrome implements something that Safari doesn't, then its a deficiency in Safari. If Safari supports something Chrome doesn't, its not relevant so will not appear in any comparison tables.

Chrome is 100% the new IE, as it is the being treated as the sole arbiter of what is a web standard or not.
Somewhat disagree. Science requires trust. In fact, it's the process for building that trust up from nothing. Are you friend or foe? I'm going to assume one but watch you closely until I have enough evidence to trust you. Hurray, that's science!

I totally agree that the phrase is often misused to mean "trust my favorite authority figure" or "trust the status quo," which is distinctly unscientific. Good news though, if we're willing to actually do the work (the hard part) trust in science is what allows us to change the status quo!
"And that is exactly why Chrome should be broken up/out."

Exactly, we saw this with MS's IE 2—3 decades ago. That governments didn't learn from this and let it repeat with Chrome is so damn annoying.

Every piece called out here is clearly labeled "opinion" - did they even read the normal news and analysis sections? Countless newspapers and outlets and actual scientific journals have opinion/editorial sections that are generally very well firewalled from the factual content. You could collect the worst hot takes from a few years of nearly any site with a dedicated opinion page and pretend that it has gone downhill. But that this the whole point of having a separate opinion section — so opinions have a place to go, and are not slipped into factual reporting. And many opinion pieces are submitted by others or solicited as a way to show a view that the newsroom doesn't or can't espouse.

Whether the EIC of SciAm overstepped with her own editorializing is probably not something we as outsiders can really say, given the complexities of running a newsroom. I would caution people against taking this superficial judgment too seriously.
SciAm was transformative to my life, I think. My father brought home a stack of them, maybe a couple year's worth, for me when I was twelve or so. I read them over and over again during my teens, slowly puzzling understanding out of the articles that were initially so far beyond me. Learned more from that stack of magazines than some years of high school.

But that was in the 80s. For the last couple of decades, Scientific American just makes me sad. Crap I wouldn't bother reading.
Indeed !

If you had read my comment before replying, you would know that I recognized and even stipulated that the report was already normalized to miles driven.

I am suggesting that per mile driven and per vehicle brand on the road are not the same thing. Now that I think about it, miles driven per brand would be an interesting data point.

Just as an example of why per-brand might be useful, let's imagine that teslas are driven half the miles of the average for all other brands. so if that were the case and if the number of fatalities were equal, then that would result in tesla having 2x the fatality rate per mile. but at the same time, this doesn't let us appreciate the amount of time tesla spends on the road vs other brands. so miles might be half but time spent might be closer to 1 (equal time). and maybe that is because teslas are concentrated in urban-suburban interface environments in high congestion areas, whereas other brands are spread out across the country where for the same amount of time spent, twice as many miles are covered and congestion is less.

Data like that is needed to properly evaluate this result. And while I asked for per-vehicle-on-the-road, and my example didn't match that, you can still see how the simple per-mile-driven is insufficient.

They also could have noted the demographics of the drivers -- male/female and years of driving experience, things like that.

So again, I find the implications of this article to be very unfair.

I was talking about particle physics and HEP in general as this is my field. Not many people do signal processing so it is small pocket as I said and some are using scipy just fine.

Overleaf is open source for all purposes. this does not mean you have to use all features for free selfhosted. it has to get some money. The decision by CERN to provide professional account for all CERN users on overleaf.com instead of self-hosting one has to do with minimizing unnecessary deployment and maintenance (including security) burden. I guess also they got a good discount from overleaf folks.

I'm not saying that there is complete independence now. but for most people in the field and most purposes, you can rely on open source tools and it will work and you call it a day. CERN is not the business of designing GPUs to compete with NVIDIA (Although it will be good).
I loved Scientific American as it was in the 1970s-80s, and was saddened to see what happened to it after around 2000(?), but I can see how having an editor like Helmuth would be a rational choice for the owners. The purpose of a commercial magazine is to generate income, and as Fox/CNN/NYT/Guardian realized, being objectively informative is a sub-optimal approach. I do wonder how we can ever again have something like the old Scientific American.

By that same logic, Safari is the #1 browser on mobile in the US and should also be spun off.
My guess would be the difference in perception comes from the fact sport cars tend to be smaller and sit lower, which makes pedestrians and motorist feel safer and less intimidated around them. In addition their general rarity means most people still view them as novelties rather than something to actually take a side on. That being said though it is 100% true performance engines are the absolute worst in terms of economy/emissions/noise; most truck engines are really just oversized economy engines and have the efficiency to match.
The protocol is quite simple to implement. The tricky part is triggering the lambda and then holding the connection open long enough to get the message.

You can’t trigger a lambda directly via tcp. You’d have to go through a gateway. That gateway would have to hold both sides of the connection open for a pretty long time.

It would be tricky but doable.
Then pass a law that says all browsers must give a choice of search engine.

That's myopically complacent; 20 years ago some car makers probably said the same thing: bah, Musk doesn't know how to make cars. Now something like every other new car on North American roads is a Tesla.

Over the last century, we have seen almost unimaginable improvements in agricultural productivity. The US now produces more than a tonne of corn for every man, woman and child in the country. Supply for most agricultural commodities vastly exceeds demand and the supply is still growing relentlessly. Tens of billions of dollars a year in subsidies can't make up for an imbalance on that scale.

The reality is that we have too many farmers producing too much food on too much land. That's a fact that sits very uncomfortably with our intuitions about the world, but it is nevertheless a fact. There are many things we could do to improve the viability of farm businesses and the economics of rural communities, but the only real answers start with an acknowledgement of the fundamental problem of gross overproduction.

How does it compare with Google Scholar?

It advertises itself as "from all fields of science" -- does that includes fields like economics? Sociology? Political science? What about law journals? In other words, is the coverage as broad? And if it doesn't include certain fields, where is the "science" line drawn?

And I'm curious if people find it to be as useful (or more) just in terms of UX, features, etc.

> That take would only make sense if Gabe Newell was running Valve like Bobby Kotick ran Activision, cancelling project left and right if they weren't lucractive. That's not how Valve appears to work

If anything Valve is a big outlier in that regard. They've invested in many not-so-slamdunk products from Steam Link to Steam Controller, Steam Machine, Index/VR, Steam Deck (this panned out) and so on, and they kept maintaining, improving and building up good-will for each of those. You could've gotten their controller for cheaper than no-name Amazon crap, and it still works and supported by Steam.

In an alternative universe Valve is headed by literally anyone else, and one of their revenue streams is just releasing a new mtx-ridden, battle pass infested Half Life every other year and milk the IP forever.

> Deporting illegal immigrants is perfectly normal

Not with the military it's not.

That also doesn't explain his attack on naturalized citizens and Tom Homan's talk about deporting citizens who have family which are illegal. This also doesn't cover DACA and other programs.

Trump is not aiming to deport just illegals, and my source for that is Trump, Tom Homan, and Project 2025. Again, this isn't about you taking me at my word. This is about you taking Trump at his word.

> Dissolving the department of education? So what?

Multiple reasons:

1. the DOE provides financial support for citizens for upward socioeconomic mobility, meaning they put people in college. That's very important for the millions of very smart, but very poor, Americans.

2. Many impoverished and typically red states rely on federal funding from the DOE. The DOE works as a big pot - every state contributes via taxes, and each gets some back. Some, like California, lose more than they gain. Some, like Oklahoma, gain much more than they put in. Red states like Oklahoma, which ranks 49th in education, rely on that funding because they have a weak economy.

This is also just one aspect of Project 2025, I merely used it as an example to show that Project 2025 is real. If you're not aware, Project 2025 is a blueprint for how to transition the US to a fascist regime.

Maybe it won't all be implemented, maybe it will. The fact you don't know about it, and the fact you refuse to listen to Trump, is mind-boggling to me. Okay, so why did you vote for him if you think he's a liar? It makes no sense. You're not doing your fellow republicans any favors - this is exactly the type of stuff that leads people to believe you're misinformed and largely make decisions based purely off of propaganda.

As for Express One Zone providing consistency, it would make more groups of operations consistent, provided that the clients could access the endpoints with low latency. It wouldn't be a guarantee but it would be practical for some applications. It depends on what the problem is - for instance, do you want someone to never see noticeably stale data? I can definitely see that happening with Express One Zone if it's as described.

The linked article itself is an opinion piece.

Reason does interesting stuff, sure, but no mistake it has a bias and that is a right centre libertarian view that loads factual content toward a predetermined conconclusion that individual free thinkers trump all.

As such they take part in a current conservative habit of demonising "Science" to undermine results that bear on, say, environmental health, climate change, on so on that might result in slowing down a libertarian vision of industry.

I still read their copy, I'm a broad ingestor of content, but no one should be blind to their lean either.
