I had that in a car from 2008 or so. Camera feed switched on when you were reversing, but no touch screen.

Seriously. I have zero use for a touch screen in a car. Maps? When I drive I look at... the road. If I need directions, google maps can tell me to turn left etc by voice commands.

I'm actually not too familiar with git deltas, but that does sound very similar to an Observed/Removed Set, another CRDT.

This is also the way to do it if you want a number that multiple nodes can edit independently. When you sync back up, do a big tally at the end, and that's your final number. (This constitutes a CRDT, and is known as the Positive/

Good rules, I've been guilty of breaking both but I find things are a lot more pleasant if I don't. People violating these rules on social media are big neon warning lights. Mute, and move on with your life. There are so many inte

It's the only mainstream language I know where structs and modules are the same thing.

Oh man I've just had a (friendly!) debate on this with some distsys folks on twitter. General consensus (no pun intended!) is the term availability is not really well defined, and the CAP thoerem is not a useful way to think about thin

Thanks for putting it in context! VSR is the only one I've read into by virtue of it having a really readable paper.

Ah someone else posted that video. I'm still recovering from it, it turned my world upside down (in a good way!).

"FDB can tolerate f failures with only f+1 replicas." Wait a minute, I know that formula... Viewstamped Replication?? I need to read the foundation DB paper. (I mainly read CRDT stuff so hopefully it's understandable). --- In

I do sometimes wonder if I'd be better off being a bit more afraid to be wrong. I always want to know more stuff and I will always fess up to my ignorance in pursuit of that. I do suspect it makes me sound like I know less than I actua

Sorry I don't quite understand what you're asking.

Essentially a meaningless term then. Everyone in mainstream politics has to present some kind of simple solution that ignores the complexities of the problem, because you can't pass a complex solution through a media filter and get vot

Yeah someone else linked it. It was fairly meaningless: According to today’s workhorse definition, populism is defined as a political style centered on the supposed struggle of “people vs. the establishment” (Mudde 2004). Populists place t

The resurgence of the term "populism" has always been curious to me. As far as I can tell it means "people not voting how they are supposed to". Much like how we have ousting/coup, freedom-fighter/terrorist, go

If it makes you feel any better I've hated communist china for as long as I can remember, decades before Trump. Free Tibet!

I found this article pretty insightful. The big successful companies all focus on the marginal user, and everyone wants to ape FAANG. Wonder if that's the disconnect I see in some smaller SAAS based companies, aping companies who desig

I think we're in broad agreement. And you're right, if it's OK to not be able to read or write during a network partition - then you don't need this. But I would encourage everyone out there to figure it out first as bol

I feel like you're conflating a few different things here. Small pages and interactions are good, sure, but I don't really see a tension between this and local first. My homepage is static HTML (minus google analytics) and it work

It's local first because you write your data locally, first, then you sync it. As opposed to writing it remotely first. Also how many well designed APIs for sync really exist in the wild? I feel like you need a decent knowledge of dist

There's a touristy little town about half an hours drive from me (NZ not America) that has a few cafes and what not. We used to go there multiple times a year, but recently they cut their number of public toilets down to about a third.

Yes. Sometimes works.

Only tried chatGPT 3.5, but my god does it waffle on. Everything I ask ends with a paragraph saying "It's important to remember that..." like an after-school special from a 90s show. It can never just give you code, it has to

A Hohenzollern (ruling house of Germany at the time) had been offered candidacy to a Spanish throne. France agitated that this should not happen, Prussia relented, than France pushed the issue even further saying that not only was it disall

I never bought into the narrative that somehow the wily Prussians 'tricked' the poor French into declaring war on them. Yes the Ems Dispatch was editorialised - but at that point France had already decided they would declare war i

yeah but even he was a dick to his wife while he was recovering, and even she was a shoplifter. ... ok shoplifting is not one of the worse things to go on in this show, but I ended up disliking them both.

True, but it's always obvious what the good thing is and what the evil thing is at any point. The characters themselves may falter but what they should be doing is immediately clear.

This is why I tapped out of breaking bad about half way through. Brilliantly done show, blah blah. But no one in it was sympathetic anymore after a certain point. Everyone was a horrible human being - I find it hard to watch that.

I alter my English when talking to non-native speakers. The primary goal is to be understood. But 'international English' is not all how I talk to native speakers, or think to myself, or dream in. I'm quite comfortable with t

He also played fast and loose with the word order, which was often done in older forms of English (which had a lot more inflection). The Direct Object he would write first, and it was followed with a different word order, and still further,
