Today, they aren't. But we could and should alter zoning laws to encourage density.
I love TailwindCSS, and this just made it better than I wished for. It was always annoying having to use style attributes for specific, one-off things and it's great knowing that it won't be a problem anymore. Not to mention of course the performance improvements.

Can't wait to upgrade Tailwind on my project and try this out :)
I have a simple script that tars and gpg encrypts specific directories nightly. It’ll also reap backups in a sane way (only keep one per week for the last month, one per month for the last year, etc). And it’ll stop/start services/containers while backing up as needed. Then I distribute the backups to various devices using Syncthing.

I’ve been thinking about also having an off-site backup (for a house fire, electrical storm when everything is plugged in, etc), but that might be slightly paranoid.
I wouldn't have expected this result - the roulette example was interesting, though I don't see an actual source for it. Very clear article, and very nice design on the site. I'm glad to have found this, their other articles look interesting as well.
Is still Paris a great place to develop games? I heard that the studio responsible for Netflix's 'Arcane' AKA 'League of Legends' TV series are in Paris [1]

They should deploy on us! Dan! Call me!
>And again, we can't historically have oppressed something that didn't exist in society 10 years ago. Look at the numbers. It's all under 30. Look at the numbers for gay people, even before they were accepted by society. There were gay people in every age group, spread evenly by age. Not for non-binary.

This also isn't true. The percentage of people who identify as homosexual is not "spread evenly be age". Look at the chart toward the bottom of the page here[1]. Rates of bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people were 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.1% and 0.2% among the traditionalist/silent generation and grew to 15%, 2.5%, 2.0%, 2.1% in Gen Z. The rate of transgender people grew almost identically to the rate of increase in the gay and lesbian population and nowhere near the growth in the bisexual population. Do you not understand how a society that is openly against LGBT people might keep those people in the closet and a society that is more accepting allows people to be more open about themselves?

Once again, the "facts" that you are using to support your opinion are wrong. Maybe it is therefore time to reconsider those opinions.

Seems like all major companies are offering location adjusted pay. Is there anyway to find companies who don't? Also I'm in Canada yet getting like 50% after currency conversion edit I should say Vancouver Canada so property prices are higher than most of the US
"Unlike independent media, Russian state-sponsored media is highly censored and violations are punishable by jail time or worse. This makes it inherently more spammy relative to independent media. The same is true for all censored media."

US media is also heavily state biased, even worse, pharmaceutical companies sponsor media. Government controlled media is not "inherently spammy", sure it's very biased, but it's disingenuous to censor them under spam guise.

The media that he believes in, and controls who needs to be censored is "unbiased".
I made a little program that assists with Wordle too. It's neither elegant nor perfect but seems like it works pretty well.

What’s the punchline?
Good catch.

Yeah, any new tech will be expensive. In theory, once it hits mass production it should be cheaper than existing li-ion since it doesn't require cobalt or nickel. I'm hoping it works out and hits similar price as today's batteries by 2030. But I'm probably too optimistic.
The Huddle thing has me completely perplexed -- I am glad that I am apparently not the only one :-)

I thought it was a third party thing we had installed but that doesn't seem to be the case. Is it an acquisition perhaps? Or what could possibly be the logic there?

Why should anyone help you hop onto the endless cycle of "while (1) { find browser plugin evasion tactic; patch }" when it can be avoided entirely by taking a different approach? Especially when your claims of "host-proof security" don't mandate use of said plugin?

Send me a note once you hit a million downloads of the plugin. Perhaps you'll be more willing to listen then.

I found this blog post about stack overflow's experience with advertising very interesting.

"So, onward to plan B: we now auto-insert Stack Overflow affiliate info into any amazon book links posted on Stack Overflow. Oh yeah, and here’s the kicker. These silly little rewritten text links work 200%-300% better than our custom amazon book ads!"
That an exact value cannot be arrived upon just by thinking about the issue in no way limits the usefulness of estimates. I have shown your estimate of the value of a single likely extinction to be completely out of whack. Your comment seems to indicate you believe I'm trying to arrive at a mathematically perfect resolution, and that my inability to do so is proof that my entire position is without merit. This could not be further from my intent. Any any charitable reading of my comments would have shown that clearly.

There is no species or even combination of species that is threatened by this oil spill that is LIKELY to have anywhere near the value you have assigned by any rational measure. That's my point. If you can't address that point, then there's really nothing more to discuss.
Then they keep going right back to develop and improve apple products. Why keep going back?

Similar, except that there are a lot fewer people whose names can't be written in Unicode. Hell, the vast majority of names fit in the Basic Multilingual Plane; you could probably get away with using a fixed 16 bits per character.

If your name doesn't fit into Unicode, get a nickname. Bonus points if your nickname fits into 7-bit ASCII.

ht​tp://jerf.org is my OpenID, and will be until I no longer have the domain.

This is precisely my problem. I don't want to commit to maintaining a webpage at a given domain with a given set of headers for the rest of my life.

Imagine if OpenID had been designed in 1991. Perhaps it would have been called "GopherID". And I might still have my GopherID from 1991, provided I had kept up the Gopher server that was delegating it, and could find another (trustworthy!) person on this Earth who would bother to operate a reliable GopherID server eighteen years after it mattered.

You see the problem? The web is barely old enough to vote. Any identity that ties me to some web standard of 2010 is as ephemeral as the morning dew, eight-track tapes, and the Commodore 64 floppy disk.

Meanwhile, I just visited Slashdot for the first time in years. My user ID is only three digits, but my login still works. It's a username and a password, it's built out of text, the protocol is obvious, and it's going to work as long as Slashdot works.
Related: anyone experimenting with telepresence for remote workers, where most of the team are still in the office?

-- Have someone bring a laptop with webcam into a conference room? (poor-man's anybots)

-- How to deal with whiteboards? Camera? Shared drawing tools? Not satisfied with what I've tried thus far. Would a 720p camera have enough resolution for whiteboards?

-- Making everyone work as if they were remote--campfire, webex, skype, etc., even if they are all in the same office?

(NB I'm moving overseas in a few months and I'm trying to figure out how I can work closely with my team from 16000 miles away)
Not so much. There are some open source projects based around red5 like bigbluebutton, but for the most part, they don't work all that well.

Adobe Connect, or Acrobat.com, or whatever it's been re-branded to, used to allow a meeting holder to have two other participants and gave you a free conference bridge. That's been relegated to one other participant and VoIP. You can still do presentations, share screens, have webcams, etc., but just with one other person and you have to call them on the phone.
I'm also guessing this is used in the Top Tweets algorithm, which seems to favor lesser known users in the amount of interest needed to get chosen, but I have no way to back that up.
I disagree. They need one serious bidder and one competitor who wants to screw the serious bidder.
But Twitter already provides an API for that. You can ask what are the current top 10 trending topics at any time.
Also, you can't order a printed poster from PhotoShop.

I have read a lot of Metis history, and this passage struck me as oddly appropriate, although unintentionally so: "the practical wisdom that comes from being a tight-knit community sharing a common goal, watching each other succeed or fail, and passing down lore to the next generation."
I was building WYSIWYG CMSes when IE6 was still the dominant browser. The way wix works is fundamentally flawed. Sure the others have flaws. But treating a webpage as InDesign was bad way before any consideration of mobile. Even before there was a concept of the various things that coalesced as responsive, web content has always flowed vertically. Wix treats it as a pdf and just makes you reflow any content any time you edit anything above. That’s awful.
Very cool. Now please, work on Myelo Fibrosis next!
I think something like this could be really cool as a Gemini site
Some people are going to call the design dated, but to me that kind of layout is timeless. Just the facts and it has good information density.

But LOL that the "Maps" link goes to mapquest.com. In other news Mapquest still exist.
Twitter isn't preventing the National Archives from preserving Donald Trump's tweets for the public record, they're just preventing those tweets from being republished on Twitter, as that would be an end-run around their ban of Donald Trump's account. This is within their rights and not in interference with any laws.
> "planning where you live"

Not too many people can make that decision on the sole basis of their preferred mode of transport.

The rational decision for most people is "live where you live because you have things keeping you there" - good, bad, job, family, friends, responsibilities, or otherwise. Given the choice between a) driving 25 miles for work everyday and keeping the status quo versus b) uprooting your family, changing jobs, and risking your savings to move to a new city ... so you can have the benefit of riding or walking to work?

These decisions don't happen in a bubble, there are tradeoffs. Sadly transport is rarely considered as one of them. The car is a convenient default. And while many people might consider riding or walking to work, they aren't going to unless systematic changes are in place to really tip that balance towards an urban/cycling lifestyle that's viable for more people.

Infrastructure, bike lanes, shower and bike lock facilities, etc. sure those might help.

But the real issue is that most adults (in America at least) are stretched so thin on time, forced by economic realities to take on multiple jobs and responsibilities that effectively makes owning a car a requirement to navigate the suburban hellscape safely and quickly.

To recap, things that have an impact and will help cities become vibrant net-zero communities
- Economic reform so people can afford decent bike gear or a few extra hours for riding and maintenance
- Cycling infrastructure so people feel safe and don't stink at work
- Rebuilding entire city centers so people can do life without a car
- Empathy towards people who still need to rely on a car because the transition to the above will take time

Things that will be completely counter-productive and discourage people from engaging with cities
- Shaming everyone into your particular brand of urban cycling lifestyle because you think it would be good for them and they should just "make it so".
I have one honest question regarding tech workers and unions and I hope it can get answered here:

What about Open Source and Free Software? Is that non-union or is it expected that, in the event of a work stoppage, people who work on, say, nginx as a hobby will stop work, too? Neither of those options even sound possible.
It looks like you're targeting a very specific niche. I don't think you can just assume your target audience is going to seek this one out. You'll have to be active in getting in contact with your potential users and help them see the value you are providing to drive early adoption.
It's important so that you can know exactly when it goes into the public domain
Very cute. But all of the presented passwords I got had lots of punctuation strewn about them (most commonly the " character), and the "words" were extreme nonsense. For example, I just generated a new set and I'm getting passphrases like

firs." Neven," drifty-T

and

is!" Mr. Look fore," oble)

Perhaps the best password to date is still complete gobbledygook:

lon tunittory lippile

This has the benefit of at least being pronounceable, but it bears no resemblance to actual words.

All that said, I wonder how it would do with different source material, or source material with all punctuation deleted.
Well I've got a weird little project I'm starting that might be about to change direction.
More than addresses it - smashes it out of the park! I wonder what has happened to Elizabeth Carlsen?
I haven't quit it, but the problems, annoyances, surprises, seeming ineptitude, and creeping iOSification of OS X that the author describes sure do resonate.

Every new major release of OS X is a day or week spent disabling things, shutting down Spotlight again, trying to restore things back to the way they were instead of the way some Designer with a capital D thinks they should be, for no other reason than, "Beauty."

I just dread the idea of moving to Linux again. I don't want to tinker that much. But I am worried sick that OS X is dying, in the sense that it's becoming a platform to deliver people to Apple's (and partners') cloud services and sharing services and that's it. Screw all of that.

One major shot across the bow was the loss of "Save As..." and the change to "Duplicate". WTF, Apple? I now have to do 10 extra steps just to Save As.

It feels like Apple is abandoning its longtime users, the master users, the users who've climbed the pyramid, who've achieved a lot of game levels. It's just going after that huge base of newbies and midlevel people who don't notice or complain about all the changes that really, truly are not improvements. They're just changes. That's the problem in a nutshell: OS X changes because there's new management that wants to put its stamp on things, regardless of whether it improves the productivity of the user or not.

FWIW, I failed at YC (in that my company failed after doing YC). Here's my account: http://blog.paulbiggar.com/archive/why-we-shut-newstilt-down.... The relevant YC part:

> YC had consulted and advised us every step of the way. When we had co-founder problems, they gracefully refused to take sides. When we wanted to make a new product, they advised us not to proceed without co-founders, and that we’d need to move to Silicon Valley to be fair to those co-founders. And finally, they didn’t expect a cent back, telling us to give all the money back to our later investors. Not once in my whole time at YC did I believe that they valued their investment more than they valued us, and they were OK with us closing down. YC is a class act.
It's not in the government's interest to collect tax on every transaction at every scale, because (a) it costs money to collect tax, and (b) economic activity is itself dampened by the transaction costs of keeping reliable accounting records in case of audits etc.

That's not to say that 10,000 USD annual revenue is too low to be efficiently taxed; but there certainly are points at which it doesn't make sense.
It also becoming a problem in semiconductor design: at 1GHz, light will only move 30cm between cycles. Thats not a lot if your memory isn't located close to your ALU.
Hosts files only work when the ads and other trash are not served from the same domain, and of course the bigger operators do everything they can to make you lose some critical functionality if you block their ad serving IPs.

So you'll need to go to the URL level at a minimum if you don't want to use some important functionality.
I'm just thankful they're not talking about Doona Bae, she's pretty cool.
Agreed. We need to pass an amendment and #AbolishImaginaryProperty (#EndCopyright and #EndPatents). #LiberateIdeas so the people can exchange information p2p, we stop subsidizing lies, and we can have decentralized intelligence.
I think sometimes it's out of recognition that the amount of effort required to convince someone -- who probably isn't even arguing in good faith -- of something sometimes exceeds the amount of effort required to dismiss them. Which is really sort of the main issue with ongoing discussions about settled topics (creationism, flat earth, young earth, anti-vax, etc.)... it's just miserable from a signal-to-noise POV
Difference is they don’t create or license the content.
I understand it's difficult for a company to give money to an open source project. But none of the options you've mentioned sound very appealing to me.

GitHub displays the avatars of sponsors. Maybe that's an option that satisfies the "acknowledges sponsorship" criterion?

> so we can pay you less

Setting aside that obviously, on an individual level, an employer will typically want to pay you as little as they can get away with, this isn't how location based pay works at a macro level.

Saying "You can work from anywhere you want, but we want to know where that is so we can pay you more" is an equally (in)valid statement since it's about pay distribution.
AWS publishes which IPs it owns, so scrubbing headers is not enough for secrecy. (Not that doing something that relies on secrecy is a smart plan for a business, anyway.) https://isitonaws.com/
Fully agree. Nobody is going to ask about me purchasing a monthly license or a monthly recurring advertisement slot with company money. But monthly donations are a PITA with regards to taxes and you run a risk of having to pay taxes on them as if they had been pure profit.

So give me a way to "purchase" and I'll be happy to donate.

XLnet running on very low end hardware (a single 8GB 2080 non ti) significantly outperform BERT large on e.g the reference question answering benchmarck: SQUAD 2
86% vs 81%

Nobody has even tried to create a spanXLnet (akin to spanBERT)
How many years will be wasted before researchers get out of the BERT local minima? I'm a afraid it might last a decade
I wonder what would happen if you threw some motion on the pole. Make it spin around and see what patterns you get
I did, but I will more directly address where they are being overly pessimistic. For example, they are likely to prioritizing US coverage which could reach desired goals before completing the global network.

Allocate 12,000 satellites equally spaced across 72 planes to approximate the Starlink fleet That’s a reasonable criticism for 2028, but not their actual goal.

Assuming a 70% broadband uptake rate of assigned locations Clearly not the goal at 12k total satellites otherwise they would not be aiming for a larger network.

500-km coverage radius Doesn’t seem to be accurate based on other sources, but I would accept an actual source such as a current user.

For RDOF locations, we have uplifted these estimates of peak usage to establish a minimum capacity required of 3.6 Mbps per subscriber That’s not how users behave, normally people use zero, ~maximum, or stream a specific amount of bandwidth. Which responds to the maximum available bandwidth.

Anyway, they control the rate and geographic location of new users and can therefore maintain minimum bandwidth standards by slowing adoption based both their current network and user behavior.
Lately I began to study information security in more detail. Isn't the "code is data" philosophy of common lisp a nightmare for a web server?
If you ever attribute "open source software" to Stallman, you are confused. Stallman wants nothing to do with the idea of OSS, Stallman is advocating for a different idea. Stallman is advocating for the ethical solution to the inherent evil cause by proprietary software. People who have a business model by distributing proprietary software are contributing to this inherent evil. All proprietary software is evil because it causes various social and political problems that result in society who live helpless and socially divided. People who write and distribute proprietary software wield an unjust power over the users who choose to submit to the policy of proprietary software. The ethical solution to this political problem is free software; i.e. software that respects the users' freedom.
"Ubuntu Coding for Your Friends" - as I see, - its a great idea!)
Just for a little bit of background, chrome supports a newer api (pepper), and get permission from adobe to package flash themselves. Firefox uses an older api (NPAPI), and adobe are no longer packaging flash for linux in general. So things will not improve, more things will not work in the future.
When the critics make their billions then perhaps they can criticize how others spend theirs. I'm not the biggest fan of Gates, but he certainly puts his money where his mouth is and is certainly leaving a positive mark on humanity. The world is a better place because of Bill Gates. Windows ME aside.

Perhaps it doesn't, they might have just used that as a source for "things we know are too hard for everybody but us". They weren't presenting houses with dummy words like they were for book solves, so it seems unlikely they were using it to train with unwitting human inputs.
