Concord has an airport that used to have daily nonstops. A plane crash into a mall and assorted NIMBY's have closed it to daily scheduled commercial traffic, but it's still perfectly capable.

Watsonville has an airport with plenty of room to better serve south bay and Santa Cruz.

Moffett, of course.

Even San Carlos has an airport with a fair amount of general aviation traffic.

Hayward Executive always looms when I fly into Oakland- it looks more than big enough.

Livermore, Novato, Palo Alto (busiest general aviation airport in the country), the list goes on.

Frankly just getting Concord back into the act would be tremendously difficult. My definition of "good places" differs somewhat from those in power, but that may slowly be changing.
always nice to see something of such utility pop up. musicbrainz has most assuredly been around for what seems like forever now, and there's a reason for that. their tag database is second to none as far as im concerned. unfortunately for me, the only music I keep locally is my own music that I've made, and I can almost guarantee that that wouldn't be on there. plus i tag all my music properly to a point that might seem religious and obsessive because I hate music files without metadata (which is why I export in mp3 as well as wav; wav for higher quality, and mp3 for labeling purposes; I could probably just use flac but compressed audio like mp3 also has the benefit of being less space intensive).

either way, nice to see it
thanks, that makes more sense

Can someone explain the actual use of sharing a terminal with someone while not being in person with them (in which case they could just watch you and shotgun the keyboard?)? I can't imagine watching someone else's terminal session without them talking about what they're doing and why would be particularly informative or help with onboarding. Maybe it's just one of those things that work for some people and not others?

Maybe you're looking at it a little wrong. Maybe some of your friend run a business and need some IT help, maybe they need a website?

Try reframing it from their perspective, not what they can do for you (tell you if people are hiring) but what you can do for them (make them a website, sort out their IT etc)
Do you think peanut butter might be the problem? As in most Americans don't eat raw peanuts but processed versions which might be more concentrated and exacerbate the allergies?
More like a link between easy entertainment and unemployment. Before games, TV and movies did the same thing.
Marriots is a company that should probably be bombed into oblivion. I signed up for a free night at a hotel. Ever since, I have probably received 2000 calls over the years from them. I think it's not just them but affiliates and other scammy/scummy businesses. If anyone is out there, please please do not ever pay Marriots a single penny. They need to go under.

Considering that it happens only on Ryzen and with multiple GCC versions and that the first post in this Gentoo forum thread shows segfaults in bash (not gcc) it looks rather like a CPU bug manifesting itself under load.

If spelling bee is so hard and most of them are won by asians, how can immigrants be unskilled & how do they take jobs away ? They are likely to create more jobs because they are intelligent and skilled ?
No, renting != borrowing, but with Airbnb you often meet the owners, may even have breakfast with them in their home, etc.

Yes, money changes hands - you pay for use and cleaning of the place - but my Airbnb rentals have been significantly more intimate than any commercial hotel I've stayed in (even small hotels or regular commercial BnBs).
I'm not sure what their release process looks like, but the Github for supervisor seems reasonably active: https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor

I'm more referring to the dysfunction of our government and institutions. But in a democracy, dysfunctional government is a manifestation of dysfunction in the people.
But, vitally, they didn't want to deal with all the politics of the routeing. Large infrastructure projects are always in large part down to politics, potentially to their detriment (in this case, the business case being weakened by higher construction costs and slower end-to-end journeys leading to less keen private investors).
I agree. This tool is pretty cool but I was a bit confused about how it could work since it just "worked" without prompting for a server. Looking at netstat it looks like warp connections are handled by connecting to an ec2 instance at ec2-35-162-152-151.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com, on port 4242.

The shortest SFO-LAX flight I see right now is 1h25m. Even if you made smaller, local, more efficient airports, I fail to see how you can hit 53 minutes while including commute time to the airport and clearing security.

Maybe it is just a question of analytics, I mean if you have a bunch of Objective-C articles with 100 readers per month and a set of Swift articles with 10000 readers per month, as an author, you will probably chose to invest your time in updating the Swift version.

If all you're using MP3 for is the space saving and metadata, you might like ogg/opus. It's the Opus codec (the state of the art in audio codecs right now) in an Ogg wrapper.

You'll find a portable player capable of handling vinyl before you find one that plays ogg/opus, but desktop software is mostly fine.
It's true that games require player agency and thus by definition are active. However, your characterization of games using terms as "hyper", "acute" and "battle" is rather limited and outdated. Games that underplay or avoid challenge and focus on exploration, immersion or rhythm, can offer a state of mind and activity as conducive to mindfulness as walking or swimming.
Well, I did already post an announcement on Facebook saying that I'm looking for web development/software engineering work, and it got reposted by a friend. It didn't get any replies.

I also occasionally PM some of my friends on Facebook and on Hangouts if they are hiring or looking for web development help. None of them have any idea. I've been going on regular rotation with the PM's for about a year (I've been unemployed that long) and they always say sorry, they don't know anything about jobs for me.

> including commute time to the airport and clearing security.

You have to include that for the rail too, obviously.

Yes. You won't need to leave as much time for the train station as you do for the airport. Why? Because the airport services many more flights and is much more crowded. If we had more airports, it could become similar to a rail-station in terms of time needed at the station/airport.

In terms of time though, flying would still be faster, amazingly.

Flying: 45 mins to airport. 1 hr in airport. 1.5 hr flight. 45 mins to destination. Total: 4 hr

Rail: 45 mins to station. .5 hr in station. 2.75 hr travel. 45 mins to destination. Total: 4.75 hr

> the rust-lang.org homepage loudly proclaimed that the implementation was a prototype

I get what you're saying, but a 'prototype' is perhaps a bit far. Rust was far from being called a prototype years before being declared stable, however I do agree that branding Swift 1.0 in 2014 was a mistake.
Personal theory is that if you want to release something at Apple to the public, and Chris wanted to get feedback, you have to brand it 1.0

> just saying "we warned you there were going to be breaking changes :shrug:" drips with contempt

Ouch, that's going a bit too far, Chris Lattner definitely doesn't strike me as someone who has contempt for developers. He gave us LLVM, (which BTW Rust uses as its backend) and by all signs he worked very hard in the background to get Swift open-sourced. Now they're taking a lot of feedback from the community via their Swift Evolution process and the Swift community wants the language to continue to evolve, so it does, not sure what could've they done better in this regard.

This could be a CPU problem but it could also easily be a memory subsystem or cooling issue. I really hope someone will get to the bottom of this soon and that it won't be a CPU issue, that could get expensive for AMD in a hurry.

Edit: and reading the comments in that thread it would be great if people would remark if they're running stock clocks and if they have upgraded their BIOS.
The financing rate is 0% because the MSRP of the car is slightly inflated. If you pay with cash, you get a cash incentive (e.g. $2000 off), if you pay by financing, you get a similar discount but in the form of a lower nominal interest rate.

Jurisdictions with good legislation require dealers to also show the effective APR, which takes the cash discount into account and is almost always a more reasonable rate.

---

Apart from that there could be lots of special circumstances (making a quota, etc.) that could explain the discount if the offer was made to you personally as opposed to being advertised to the public.
Reminds me of this Wired article from years ago:

The Unreal Estate Boom

https://www.wired.com/2003/01/gaming-2/

Not long ago, a 43-year-old Wonder Bread deliveryman named John Dugger logged on to eBay and, as people sometimes do these days, bought himself a house. Not a shabby one, either. Nine rooms, three stories, rooftop patio, walls of solid stonework – it wasn't quite a castle, but it put to shame the modest redbrick ranch house Dugger came home to every weeknight after a long day stocking the supermarket shelves of Stillwater, Oklahoma. Excellent location, too; nestled at the foot of a quiet coastal hillside, the house was just a hike away from a quaint seaside village and a quick commute from two bustling cosmopolitan cities. It was perfect, in short, except for one detail: The house was imaginary.
I'm pretty sure every long living dynamical system is cyclical.
I’m afraid my number might be used as the originator someday. Often when I get these calls, I keep them on the line as long as possible, feigning interest in whatever they’re selling. I figure as long as I tie them up, maybe I can waste a bit of their resources. Probably futile, but makes me feel better.

Except they might retaliate one day and set their outgoing ANI to my number...

Non-Fiction:

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie, because it changed my understanding of people for the better.

"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" by Richard Feynman, because it gave me a model for how to enjoy life.

"Models" by Mark Manson, because it helped shape my understanding of heterosexual relationships.

"An Introduction to General Systems Thinking" by Gerald Weinberg, because it illuminates the general laws underlying all systems.

Fiction:

"Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A Heinlein, because it showed me a philosophy and "spirituality", for lack of a better word, that I could agree with.

"The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand, because they showed me how human systems break, and they provided human models for how to see and live in, through, and past those broken systems.

"Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" by Eliezer Yudkowsky, because it set the bar (high) for all future fiction, especially when it comes to the insightful portrayal of the struggle between good and evil.
Isn't this basically what WHQL does without the blaming? And that's enforced on 64-bit systems unless you manually turn it off. Afaik part of the WHQL process is Microsoft installing the driver on thousands of different hardware configurations and seeing if it misbehaves.

california isn't a country.
it doesnt have to be that way.
I also use it to organize music. Once it identifies something you can have it save to a artist/album/00-name type pattern (the path is configurable). Before I had issues like track listing problems, artists or albums with 'and' vs '&', capitalization inconsistencies etc. This resolves most things like that.
You know why.
A student subscription to the Economist perhaps?
While these are very weird stories, are they saying this is different than any other type of commercial establishment? Do retail stores, for instance, have less instances of stuff being stolen?
It would still make SFO less crowded.
Back in the day, I remember Verizon Mobile had a thing where you could dial into your voicemail and then they had an option to leave a voicemail for another VZN subscriber just by punching in their number. I used this a couple of times to listen to an unknown caller's outgoing message.
Why does buying a car in America involve so much (or even any!) negotiation at all? I guess it's a form of price discrimination?

I just tried to figure out (via Google) whether it's common in eg Germany---but what I found what mostly only about negotiations for used cars.
Why track them? I used to work in a Computation Population biology lab. Three of them have gone to work at Google and or Facebook and they had very diverse backgrounds. The ones that didn't choose the private sector went to Postdoc positions at MIT Lincoln Lab. If you are the place where the money is you can attract talent. This was at a public university and I'm sure you can find similar stories at private ones.
I still remember being engrossed by this as a 10 year old, looking forward to reading this again with any kids I have of my own.
I said the paper, not the article in the economist. It is funny the article it is based on a paper which draws different conclusions.
of course not, more like somewhere inbetween "easy" and "requires god-like powers". and a zillion man-hours as well.
> In a democracy, dysfunctional government is a manifestation of lack of virtue in the people

Or...just a reflection of bona fide disagreements? I prefer a gridlocked government to one that rams its will over the minority. That might be termed "dysfunctional" by some, but not by me. Not every value system needs the state to be efficient all the time.

Note that the California High-Speed Rail project has never been approved by more than a slim majority of Californians [1].

It's pretty difficult to overdose on MMOs or get a super-high dose fentanyl batch. I'm not sure how you get worse than death.
What's dysfunctional about not wanting to pour hundreds of billions into technology that's poorly suited to the US?

It's actually proof the system is working.
You're ignoring three major points. First, the need for security is less with trains because they can't be turned into guided missles in transit. Second, you can build stations in the middle of the city but you can't build airports in the middle of the city. Penn Station is a 15 minute cab ride from most of the NYC CBD. LGA or JFK are close to an hour. Third, trains are inherently faster to load because they have many entry doors. Amtrak loads hundreds of people at NYP in a few minutes.
Phone/skype, text chat, ...? (general screen-sharing software of course is an option, but often kind of a pain and if you really only want to share a terminal this might be faster and is by design limited to the terminal)

America isn't a country either
I came up with the same concept - and almost the same name[1] - as a joke at work last year, and could not stop laughing at the results, so I completely agree.

The one improvement to the public project I'd suggest is from my own. Instead of always starting from index 0, for each character position, increment the starting index by one until it loops around. That way all of the emojis get a roughly equal chance of screen time - depending on the entropy of the unencoded data, of course.

[1] I called mine "basemoji".
> In a democracy, dysfunctional government is a manifestation of lack of virtue in the people.

I am happy such mentality shows up here.

Particularly, I am deeply concerned with American educational philosophy. It seems American schools emphasize skills dealing with people more than those for understanding the non-human objects in the world.

These skills, although are always claimed to advance the greater good, they all have the central value of being personal freedom and self-realization.

The history has proven that a society that share the common goals can advance forward. While those comprised with self-proclaimed leaders never really manage to unite any large nations.

"Perfect is the enemy of good"

Could not agree more. Self taught programmer here too. For such a long time chasing "perfection" had me stuck where I was not finishing any projects.

Taking a step back I decided that finishing projects is what really gives me happiness. They don't have to be perfect or world changing. That coupled with detachment from how the project is received has helped me so much.

Congrats on all your projects. Inspiring!
It wouldn't take a major leap of reasoning to think one of the main motivations is to influence the imminent election and capitalize on the extra media attention available to be had from doing it at this point in time.
Both high speed trains and airports have the same problem, land rights. If it's solvable for trains it's far more easily solvable for airports.

"The Design of Everyday Things" by Donald Norman.

Technically this book is about how humans interact with things, but actually it covers a lot more topics that one can think: how humans act, err, how they make descisions, how memory works, what are the responsibilities of conscious/subconscious. Also you'll start to dislike doors, kitchen stoves and their disigners)
