From what I've read, we're still very much beginners when it comes to this in the west.

I don't think this is how most introverts have felt. Introversion doesn't mean you dislike interaction with other people. Like others mentioned, what you're describing doesn't sound like just being introverted, it sounds like ASD or some other personality disorder.

Definitely subjective though. I'd say I'm an introvert, and I've made it through ok, but it still very much feels like I lost a year of my life. It's really not been too different from being in prison in the country where I live.

>tire rolling resistance test are done on a bumpy surface

Which ones are? The ones at bicyclerollingresistance.com aren't road-like-bumpy at least, and that's the most commonly cited page I know of for rolling resistance.

Nit-picking, but 27mm is very common as the "actual width" of tyres branded 25mm.

I love brr.com and have used them a lot, but in the context of this thread, it's important to consider that the surface they test the tires against do not have the kind of imperfections you see on the road. This means lower pressure will always perform worse in their tests, which goes against the more recent consensus in that each road has an optimal pressure depending on its roughness.

I think lab workers researching viruses are some of the less likely to do so, unless they're in a really bad state. If they were in a very bad state, it's less likely that it was the seasonal flu.

His radar explanation for FLIR doesn't really hold well if you take their stories into account though. There's a limit to how far away it could have been since they're saying they saw it near sea level below where they were. He also doesn't explain why the jet engines of said plane didn't show up as a different color on the IR camera.

Eyewitness testimonies are not very reliable, no, but unless they're lying, there was definitely something unexplained going on there. It's possible there's an explanation which covers all of it, but Mick West's doesn't.

Not to mention that he's a game developer and not an aerospace engineer. I really doubt he has any experience using the systems that he's explaining. I would love to see that video "peer-reviewed" by someone who has the credentials to talk about those things.

I've only read about it in Swedish, but here's [1] a Reddit post discussing it in English (with the top-comment referencing a later news article which says the study was retracted).

Are you sure there are false positives with the serological tests they're using? As far as I've read, there are tests with only false negatives, and if I don't misremember they were the ones used for the Swedish statistical study released (and retracted) last week.

What's so complex about ASP.NET Core web api, other than having to learn to use a DI framework?

I found it very simple and minimal (again, other than the DI) when learning it.

People definitely do that most of the time in Stockholm. If you see someone waiting for the light to turn green with no nearby cars, it's most likely because have kids with them or they're old and walk slow. Jaywalking is also very common.

How are crime statistics relevant? If anything, you should look at recidivism. Crime statistics have more to do with other things in society than the 'philosophy' of prisons.

But did they do that before Uber?

It's been debated, but there's hardly any code using it. After seeing how it's being used by most people, it'd be easier to make a choice.

Wow, this is the only suggestion I really didn't like. I'm really happy that it's progressing forward, but I can't help but feel that staying with the macro and postponing the decision would've been a better choice.

A language should, in my opinion, not depend on syntax highlighting.

Wow, as someone who has used this service, thank you for the mentioning this, I had no idea!

Considering your other comment with "billion dollar investors" in a company that was barely worth 1 billion dollars back then, this definitely reads like a made-up story.

No, just like Spotify doesn't ban you for turning off the audio during commercials or looking away from the screen.

> No they are not. Scooters and bikes are a great way to arrive at your destination sweaty, and you are at great risk of being run over by cars.

> Multi-modal transportation only works if your coworkers don't care what you smell like.

This makes sense if we're talking _today_ in cities such as LA, however if you look at biking-friendly cities such as Amsterdam or Stockholm, it's not really the case at all.

I'd go so far as to say that, in my experience, biking to work is as common (or even more?) as driving to work in central Stockholm, and the sweat problem you're talking about is really non-existing.

Wasn't very smooth when I tried it, and it's only Windows/OSX, isn't it?

What are you even talking about? You're making it sound like Firefox has ever been a lot worse than Chrome, but that's far from the truth.

I've used both quite a lot and I've always preferred Firefox, even _without_ considering the privacy aspects. I still use Chrome on my laptop as Firefox doesn't support decent pinch zooming (that's more or less my only complaint), but for desktop usage I definitely choose Firefox over Chrome.

> Sometimes you need to. You cannot entirely stack allocate an object that uses PIMPL.

You actually can, if I'm not misunderstanding: http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/028.htm

Well, there is a way to have them on the stack even with PImpl: http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/028.htm

However I'd say it's an ugly hack which should only ever be used if you _really_ need the performance.

I know, which is why I said Linux containers. Although, Docker on Linux can't run Windows containers, can it?

A 10mb Linux container will still share the Linux kernel with the host, hence it's still running on Linux, even if it doesn't have any dynamic dependencies.

There's no OS "inside" the container, no, but it's still dependent on an OS.

I think we agree. :)

I'm not disagreeing to any of that, what I'm saying is that to run a Linux Docker container on Windows, you'll need a Linux VM which runs Docker, which is exactly what Docker for Windows does for you using HyperV.

That's not really true, OS definitely matters with Docker, both on the host and the container. Docker for Windows uses a VM to run Linux containers.

While Rust competes with C++ by sharing a lot of goals, it is _way_ closer to ML than C++ is.

If it was developed with the goal of being an ML language, my guess is that a lot of what it does wouldn't be possible and it'd end up being another language very similar to OCaml.

Having to reimplement things such as text selection, clipboard, and making it more or less impossible to write plugins which affect the pages being shown (adblock, reddit enhancement suit, etc) are a few huge reasons. I'd prefer to keep the web consistent for sites which don't actually need to be rendered on a canvas.

As someone with a C++ background who loves Rust and wants it to succeed: Code where the lifetime syntax is used much can look really horrible and confusing, and to people new to Rust it might feel like it's for no reason.
