Dunning-Kruger effect

I don’t understand why the US still has dedicated school buses that isn’t used for anything else during the day.

That’s because it doesn’t make sense. From Paul Krugman:

> The document simply doesn’t hang together. Part 3 makes the case for tariffs by arguing that they won’t be inflationary because they’ll lead to a stronger dollar, reducing import prices. Part 4 then calls for an all-out effort to weaken the dollar, using emergency powers if necessary.

They will only get a financial benefit if Trump is successful in convincing EU to change their policies, but I think it is pretty little chance of that happening.

EU policies will be decided by the europeans, and if the US tries to coerce EU e.g. with tariffs, EU will use it’s “economic bazooka” the Anti-Coercion Instrument which will target some of the same US tech companies.

The Canadians will probably want to protect themself in the case Trump really means it with the 51st state stuff. They will have interest in getting nuclear weapons, and they can perhaps get them from their allies.

Europe will respond with drastic economic sanctions that will act quickly. Tariffs are slow to make a difference, but EU have prepared what they call an economic “bazooka”, that will very quickly hit US economy if force is used against a member state.

I guess Microsoft would like to maintain trust by their customers. The attack vector is the other direction, if Trump missteps and tries to use force on EU member states, EU will use its economic “bazooka” which for instance would especially target firms like Microsoft.

The first video I got was from some KKK ritual.

My biggest issue with Flight Simulator 2020 doesn’t seem to be addressed.

It contains tutorials on how to control the planes, but no storyline, no built in missions. If you are motivated by a narrative, this is not a game for you. It only does the simulation, but doesn’t really help people get into the game through a kind of narrative.

I have no desire to learn all the details of an aircrafts controls. I might have that, if there was a reason for me to learn those things, as a motivating story that would drag me in. I think it’s an enormous missed opportunity in terms of making the game appeal to a wider audience.

I still hope it will be there in 2024 edition, but this interview didn’t give me much hope.

Which in turn compiles itself into Javascript, such that you can run the SMLtoJS compiler in the browser, e.g. it should be possible to make it accept <script> tags with SML code.

But isn’t that exactly the direction they are going with next gen CarPlay?

That’s where governmental regulation should kick in and require compatibility, so you aren’t forced to change charger because you either change car or power company. I expect EU to get there at some point.

> One little problem though, Sweden doesn't actually have a socialist government currently. Neither does Denmark. And Norway has a minority socialist government coalition. So, socialists are fresh out of power all over Scandinavia and struggling a bit.

The Danish prime minister is from the social democrat party.

Stupid fight indeed, as it might inspire workers in other european countries (Norway, Germany) to do the same.

I guess “unrepeatable” was supposed to be “unrepairable”.

Just use a proper browser

I want a middleman to hold my money, if the host fucks up, he will not get the money. That’s why you use escrows, but Booking.com doesn’t act like an escrow, so don’t use it.

I didn’t get my refund after a trip was COVID cancelled in 2020. The money had already been paid to the hotel, and the hotel owner (in Marrakech) only wanted to promise me I could come back in 2021. So they are not acting as an escrow as I thought.

Stated in another way: standalone are sometimes bad, but embedded DSLs are almost always bad.

My take is that all embedded DSLs are bad. By embedding your DSL in another language you might gain certain things for free, but you also sacrifice a lot of control and often extra boilerplate code is necessary.

The exception of course is Lisp where embedded languages can feel like standalone languages.

Often these big cars even have a quite small trunk, e.g. compared to a station wagon.

Soon though, a few car makers will release electric station wagons (e.g. Peugeot e-308). Many danes already drives station wagons, so I hope people will start buying those kind of cars instead of SUV's.

One big competitor less to worry about

Does this exist for Apple TV as well?

Couldn’t it mean that closed down reactors, such as those at Barsebäck, could potentially re-open at some time in the future (after restoration, testing, etc.)?

What happens with the content if posted on an instance that shuts down? Will it be kept alive by other instances?

1) Make him come up with the projects to do. Use brainstorming techniques. Only help by guiding, not by telling him to do specific things

2) Build your similar own projects as well

3) Try with electronics. For that age group I have had good succes with MicroPython on ESP32’s + various sensors/actuators. The first thing I do is connect an LED strip with RGB LED’s and let them play with that.

4) Find him peers with the same interest. In that age peers are better partners. You can still help facilitate a bit, but the best would be to find a Coding club.

I think Lemmy has a similar API, so the hope is those apps will start working towards being Lemmy clients.

I haven’t been in a situation like this.

I think they should call it off, and announce that they will go back to the drawing board. Then restart talks with the API users and third party app developers.

What if they reduced the price of Reddit premium to $3/month and made API and third party apps only available for Reddit premium subscribers?

- Reddit would get many more premium subscribers

- App developers would be able to avoid managing subscription fee’s themselves and continue as before

- Users of the official Reddit app would not be affected

- Users of third party apps would have to pay for Reddit Premium - but maybe at a discount

If it gave you the possibility to use other apps than the official? I think people would want to do that.

Would people maybe have been more okay with this, if the change was that you needed to pay for Reddit premium to be able to use API/other apps with your user? Then it was not be a bill forwarded to other apps, but a bill to each individual user using these apps?

They would probably have been able to reduce the price of Reddit premium at the same time.
