Gargron closed it off during its peak, not because of the load, but because mastodon.social became too synonymous with Mastodon proper, so he forced people to go to other instances so everyone wouldn't be in the same basket of eggs.

I could write small programs that calculated coordinates for road topography, circular curves and even (with a very little approximation) clothoids.

And you will have to pry out from my cold, dead hands my HP 28C[0][1], I bought it right when it came out in 1987 (yes, that is exactly 30 years ago) and it still goes strong.

But to give you a data point, I payed for it (in 1987) around 650,000 Lire, something like the equivalent to 330 Euro that nowadays would be roughly 750 Euro.

> Even toy Amstrad computers in the 80s came with Basic manuals

You're likely talking about the Amstrad CPC, I'm not sure why "toy" should apply to it : it was the best selling 8-bit in several European countries, and by far the most capable of all (the C64 had better sound but much worse graphics, and the ZX Spectrum well... let's be charitable and say that it had at least price going for it.)

For some reason, the Amstrad was underrated in parts of northern Europe (and especially the UK, its homeland), usually in favour of the C64 (fair), and the ZX Spectrum (IMO inexplicable)

Compare screenshots of Operation Wolf, Gryzor, Barbarian side by side on CPC/C64/ZX and you'll see what I mean.

>Yes, but against a determined attacker that singles you out, you are fucked regardless of what you do, especially if it's your bank or similar service provider that screws up even if you don't.

Isn't that what we're trying to prevent- becoming the victim of a determined attacker?

I don't really care about protecting myself from /only/ script kiddies.

If I put my money in a bank and they "accidentally" allow someone other than myself to withdraw it, /the bank/ has been defrauded, not me.

Thanks to corporate control of the US gov't, it is now me who has actually been defrauded, thanks to some fun mental gymnastics.

So, I have to spend time and money and frustration trying to convince the bank to uh... what's it called... oh yes, give me my money back, please.

The system is broken for sure, but I really truly hope we can vote some people into office who will turn the tables on how these laws currently work.

Otherwise we will all eventually be hacked, stolen from, or worse.
That's very common at all non-tech institutions: the top technology management positions are held by people who don't have a technical background and may know very little.

Reasons are:

• It's hard to find technically skilled people who want to spend all day doing management tasks.

• It's easy to find essentially unskilled people who do want to spend all day doing management tasks.

• There is a large set of unwritten rules and social expectations that the people who created and run such companies use as proxies for competence. Do you dress nice, can you play an enjoyable game of golf, are you married, how old are you, etc. These proxies invariably de-select the kinds of people who have a deep understanding of their field (i.e. single young men who are able to devote enormous hours to their craft).

Edit: note the recommendations in her LinkedIn page. Every single one talks about her collaboration and communication skills, not a single mention anywhere of technical skills. It's tempting to shoot "Susan M" here but the real issue is a boardroom culture in which management is seen as a skill entirely divorced from the effort being managed.

The Plough is much simpler to handle imo, because you're only directly dealing with one roundabout at a time, the "meta-roundabout" is more incidental rather than the mess of Swindon.
I used to work in Hemel, I never saw an accident. Affectionately known as the 'magic roundabout' (after the children's show)

It worked surprising well, if a little 'when all you've got is circles, everything looks like a roundabout' solution.

That same reasoning could be applied to motion pictures.
If people respect pay for work, then they despise the opposite, including wealth earning income for no work. That saidd...

This is consistent with believing owning less wealth is better than owning more wealth. Then that justifies groups with less wealth as better than groups with more wealth because they earn less income without work. Which then means the gender gap, racial gap, poor social immobility, etc are thus preferable because they imply not getting as much undeserved income. Only the belief that income without work is a priori bad forces this conclusion. The idea "compensating individuals honestly for their work produces a sufficiently fair world" isn't consistent with wanting to produce a fairer world. [0]

I never personally saw this, but I've been told by people that the HP-41 could be massively overclocked at the cost of heavy loss of battery life. Supposedly they could be overclocked sufficiently to handily beat common minicomputers, such as the PDP-11, at floating point.

Allegedly some people hacked interfaces between their PDP-11 and their overclocked HP-41 that allowed the PDP-11 to use the calculator as a floating point coprocessor.

The alarmist screams of a deluded nostalgic who is too lazy to ground his intuition in data. The author also makes a stand against capitalism and globalism rather than tech monopoly. Do you think the media was so much better when the Nazi could rise to power or the necessity of war, or moral be imposed on society through those restricted medium the elite controlled?

Not to speak about all the injustices internet helps bring to light, the diffusion of important knowledge (side effect of bad consumerist habits being on of them), the convergence of the poor and the middle class allowing for a large part of the population to access the same products, education, and social advantages. The path to the disparition of labor work and rise of the nomad lifestyle is also a beautiful evolution of society.
Facebook's no-fake-personality T&Cs seems to confirm Zuckerberg's (slightly mad) views.

Most adults understand that there absolutely needs to be clear water between public and private personas and relationship networks.

Trying to mash them altogether has nothing to do with enforcing integrity (something large corporations are hardly ideally qualified to moralise about) and everything to do with the fact that no one at work needs to know that (e.g.) your best friend's daughter is struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts and your best friend is having a really hard time with this.
Immutable Infrastructure as Code done right
Any rational system needs to be able to: 1) Identify someone and 2) Authenticate someone. A moment's thought will suggest that the mechanism used to identify someone has different and at least somewhat conflicting goals to what the mechanism used to authenticate someone has, and these must be different systems.

For example: The identification token should be shareable, globally unique, and probably mostly immutable. The authentication token should be secret, not globally unique, and resettable if compromised.

The US system currently tries to use SSNs as both a means of identity and authentication: Telling someone your SSN both tells them who you are, and proves that you really are that person. Obviously, this can't work.

Either we need an actual unique ID number, and then we treat SSNs as a secret password, OR we need to treat SSNs as non-secret usernames, and add some form of actual authentication. Either will work I suppose, although the second seems more practical.
Leadership is one of my passions. I observe it, study it, marvel at what different shapes it can take and how it can miserably fail, sometimes not straight away.

My opinion is that Mark Zuckerberg absolutely does not have leadership. He has influence, but those are very different. When rank and leadership don't correlate, very bad things happen at some point.

I believe that Facebook the company does have some great leadership, but if anything it is coming from Sheryl Sandberg. Have you ever seen what she can do to a room? It's similar to Obama, or Jobs.

Mark Zuckerberg actually worries me a lot. To know quite a few leaders in tech, I don't think he meets the calibre on the people level, not even a little bit. Bezos, Musk, Sandberg display insane levels of vision and truth in their mission. Zuckerberg always feels to me like someone who is very smart but pushed into a role he was never made to fit, because of context.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think something bad will come out of this situation.
Well, Boston also has a population of only 600K, so they must have used some other criteria to include the metro areas of the cities.
It's not the number of roundabouts that makes Swindon hard, it's the number of lanes per junction and the proximity of the spot islands to each other.

For reference, Colchester also has a "magic roundabout" with the same structure of Hemel's but Swindon's is easily the worst of the 3 because the whole thing operates as one junction due to how tightly packed the roundabouts are. Whereas Hemel and Colchester can be treated as 6 and 5 (respectively) separate junctions circling an island. That makes a huge difference when driving around these kinds of roundabouts.
It's more that they're shoehorning such a divisive political event into an otherwise completely unrelated article that insults me.

The connection is tenuous - brexit only being mentioned because it happened in Britain.

It just gave me the distasteful feeling that brexit was the only part of british culture - other than our penchant for roundabouts - that this commentator knew about. Part of british culture that half of the country probably still feels burned by.
My total bill is not $1. Even if it was, they should be able to justify what they bill me for. So far, they have failed to.

The only option is the second because SSNs are already widely distributed so have lost their use for authentication.
Taking out loans that you don't need, not spending the money, and paying them back on time (with interest) should be a very positive credit score indicator.

It shows that the person is planning ahead, is careful with not overspending even if they have cash available, is organized enough to make all the monthly payments on time. To me that seems like a better signal than someone who does need the loan.

How would a person who takes out the same loan, but actually spends the money be a better credit risk?

Roundabouts have an extra mental tax on drivers, something that's often disregarded in this kind of debates. You should be more alert, more aware of your surroundings, decisions are tougher to make (move? or not yet?). This 7-in-1 roundabout seems to be taking that to the extreme. I can imagine how uncomfortable and challenging it must be to cross it, especially for drivers who are not familiar with it.

Now compare that to regulated intersections, which come at a price of potentially longer delays of course, but in return have much lower mental tax on drivers.

Teach Yourself Programming in 10 Years
I will say that the Doom example -- where the last bit of health is counted as more as the rest of your health bar combined -- doesn't come as a surprise for me as I did feel that I could get away with just charging into the fray and dancing around all the enemies and my health bar would drop super quick but then somehow I was able to not lose that last bit of health as I'm charging through everything or running away from everything to find some brief cover before coming back in.

The game really wants you to charge and meleeing the weakened enemies to death (as a melee kill is the only way you will get health or ammo back, as it springs out of them), so they pretty much have to do something to help you make that otherwise suicidal charge.

Even knowing this, I don't care, I still think it gives you an awesome feeling. In fact now that I know this for a fact, I will probably get even more reckless in the game.
Swindon is rural England? It's the 10th biggest town in the UK, with a population that exceeds some cities. Pretty much the only reason it's not a city is the archaic rule that cities have to have a cathedral.

Just tangentially: I have high hopes for an experiment with a 96-bit word size in RaptorJIT (a fork of LuaJIT, a compiler for a Lisp-like language.) That's a 32-bit tag and a 64-bit value.

This seems practical for a few reasons:

Full 64-bit pointers and numbers can fit into tagged words. (No boxing and so no heap allocation for u64 and pointer arithmetic.)

Naked 64-bit values can still be stored in registers and used directly. The JIT knows the type of each register and does not need to load the tag bits (they are checked on load and added on store.)

The x86-64 target CPU is efficient for unaligned access.

We will see how this works out in practice. Link: https://github.com/raptorjit/raptorjit/pull/93

Instead of two headquarters, why not 50 headquarters? They have one of the largest and most reliable networks in the world - use it! With offices spread across the country (continent, even), they could hire from a talent pool that dwarfs Seattle and Denver. They wouldn't have to find 100+ contiguous acres for sale in one metropolis. City Council elections wouldn't have to be of strategic importance. Likewise for disaster preparedness. They already have distribution centers all over the place.

Highways England are utterly incompetent. Who knows how many people they kill nationally due to their stupidity.

They seem determined to make the road network in UK lethal and/or unusable. There isn't a single motorway currently operating without some restriction. An entire national road network of B roads.

In towns they are even worse. They make cycle lanes with a couple of few wide left for the car - no you can't drive in the cycle lane (obvs) but you must. They make these deliberately hazardous intersections only to have to dig them up again when they kill some people. They narrow the road to single lane - filling the rest with concrete to create some head-on collisions. They place traffic lights every 50 meters along some sections so that drivers have to pull out in front of oncoming traffic in order to somehow merge into the queue.

This roundabout is a ridiculous demolition derby with minor collisions every single day - you don't even get the plate of the guy that rammed you. I am surprised it is only killing one person every five years - who knows how many injuries there are. Would you cross that roundabout on a bicycle? People - lunatics - do. Most Brit drivers have no clue how to use a regular roundabout never mind this thing.

This mess is a monument to the hubris of Swindon town planners. Swindon is a shitty little provincial country town. It shouldn't really ever have road fatalities or accidents on this scale.

The writer of this article must have had something in order to gush about it. It is utterly beyond me as it is the subject of regular black humor here.
