Most people's social lives are entirely virtual these days. The boundaries are getting fuzzier.

Yes, there will always be direct local interests like fire, police, emergency service, sewage, utility, etc districts, but those services all have natural boundaries themselves, and the political boundaries can and often do match there at city/county/township/x-district levels.

But the state and federal levels, at least in the US, seem increasingly divorced from geography (outside of the Cold Civil War between rural and urban economies/beliefs/interests). The weird shapes of current gerrymandered districts is only possible because the geography is so divorced from the governing. If the shape of most US congressional districts was the shape of fire or sewage districts there would be riots in the streets.
Where does this idea that Democrats don't stand for something come from? It's pretty clear what they stand for. While there is disunity within the party, it's no worse than what the GOP faces.

> it doesn't really matter because you just run a daemon and connect to it.

I'm writing this because I think many people are unaware of this feature of Emacs and might gloss over it in your post.

As far as I'm concerned startup time is next to irrelevant in Emacs, since you can start an Emacs server once when you boot up and then just run clients that open and connect instantaneously. That is, you can then run 'emacsclient' from the command line in any terminal you want, and it will open a working Emacs instance in a few milliseconds.

Here's blog post that describes this feature:

https://brainlessdeveloper.com/2017/12/27/making-emacs-work-...

The blog post above actually overstates how difficult it is to start working with Emacs in this way. It's dead easy.
This was the latest article I found (Aug 6, 2015): http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20150806_Pranksters_admit_...

If Hitchbot's death was the result of late night drunkards or social media pranksters, I don't think its chances in San Francisco or Los Angeles would be any better. In fact, I think its chances would be much worse in areas filled with Internet/social-media savvy people.

edit: maybe with the exception of Times Square, where it would be not only under constant surveillance, but not even thought to be odd or interesting. Unless whoever dropped it off failed to give advance notice to the NYPD of course.
Nocoiners? If you’re that confident in the future of BTC, please take me up on my offer to sell me some puts (see my other comment)
As far as I know intellisense, it’s based on their model of your AST and import paths in the current file, not which other files are open. Open files are more of a “word complete” feature. i.e. text, non-semantical. like C-N in vim.

(Not to say you’re wrong to expect it—just for context.)

Which is why exploratory UI/UX design with tools like Balsamiq , Sketch or Adobe XD is important.

A bunch of screens that can be used to discuss UI workflows with the actual users, before writing any line of code or setting decisions into stone that can turn into show stoppers.
I always turn off CNN from my gyms tvs. I call it the Constant Negativity Network. This is not against CNN specific, they're all like that. Workout is supposed to be my safe space to build myself up, destress, work out _my_ kinks. With the news on it distracts and detracts from those aims.
Has to do with running code self-computing a checksum to use as verification that it hasn't been modified. Prior attacks showed this was possible to defeat with advanced malware. The published paper discusses using cache timing verification as a defense.
Reiterating problems in the existing way of doing things is a fairly well known method of getting interest and buy-in from prospective customers, so I think the initial rant might actually be connecting with people.

> All political systems with a modicum of success, including ours, have worked to align interests without relying on a moral compass.

I would agree with most of what you said, particularly your diagnosis of the dysfunctions of the US system, but this part simply isn't true. There are plenty of successful democracies (almost all in central and northern Europe, admittedly) where political partisanship exists within a moral framework, and politicians adhere to certain moral and democratic norms, even when it is against their immediate interests to do so.

I think it's easy to overgeneralise the problems of the closest example to hand as being representative of all, and being fundamental and unavoidable limitations of human nature. But there are always counter-examples. There are always places where government actually delivers to people, and where the political system avoids the worst systemic dysfunctions that plague other regimes.

I'm not sure the US will ever reform its political system to achieve the same results, but, at the very least, we shouldn't let politicians (and the people who elect them) off the hook for underperforming vs. what we know is possible.
I've went through Denial, Anger, Bargaining, and now in an Acceptance stage after taking up to 31% performance hit on some of services managed by my team. Worst case has been Elasticsearch so far with our load pattern, taking that 31% hit.

Can the acidity be reduced, maybe by some putting some alkaline additives in it? Had not come across this issue before (not an expert, just interested). Is it not technically feasible, or would it cost too much?
With a human or with a GPU?
I think one thing that needs to happen is a wider adoption of the pragmatic view described here:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/structure-scientific-theo...

Mainstream approaches to science are obsessively objective, denying the fact that everything we do is a subject experience. So many people learn the idea that things can only be true or false, as opposed to things being dependent on the lens through which they're viewed. We see the same sort of separation in our politics.

I think we need a framework for self-observation. Granted, we have systems in place designed to punish us for being ourselves, so that'll have to change, too.

If you want to learn how to work in a field dedicated to observing & documenting something, then first or concurrently learn to responsibly observe & document yourself. The goal is to maximize self-awareness, which I think everyone can benefit from in some way.
"I think it would be better if the server didn't have metadata visibility into group membership, but that's a largely unsolved problem, and it's unrelated to confidentiality of group messages."

Although this is true, I guess in this case this is not related.

As long as all the communication between peers are e2e, I think this situation can be solved by peers advertising the people they have invited to the group, later clients can refuse to do key exchange with parties, which are not announced before.

Or server can send new member join messages, by relaying a invitation message signed by the admin (or whoever invited the member)

I can either give you entry points for what to search for or I can give you the gist of it. If you want neither maybe you should ignore my comment instead.
I'll take the cheapest mode of transport available. Whether it's coal or oil or wind powered, I, and billions of other people in the world, could care less for the environment. My wallet matters more.
Agreed, but also feels like the very common mockup->developer handoff is inefficient, and in many cases should just start from a working prototype vs a drawing.

If you're looking for another way to block ads on mobile, DNS66 works pretty well for me, and it's FOSS IIRC (obviously it doesn't get everything, there's only so much a DNS-based blocker can do, but it catches most ads except YouTube's in my experience).
Yes, exactly. Just arrive 15 minutes before departure time.
It's rather sad that not only have the $200 dollar bikes been outsourced, i.e. moved manufacturing overseas, but also the high end frames and components have mostly gone overseas.

Taiwan is a great place, but i wish we kept some of the high end mfg stateside.
The Case Against a Basic Income
While a 737 cruises at 340 knots CAS (calibrated air speed), an ERJ 145 has a high speed cruising speed of 450 knots.

Add to that less leeway for some of the delays inherent to gates, and I could see that being the case.
Probably depends on the resolution -- I've found a good GPU-based CG implementation can chew through moderately sized problems faster than multigrid. I would also imagine the blog author could get away with some fairly loose tolerances on the Poisson solve (at the cost of some compressibility) and still have the motion look great.
A deleted page that reveals the paparazzi roots of Kodak Coin
Much prefer the Volocopter as well. Better redundancy, further down the line (manned flights since 2016, negotiations with regulators progressing), not vapourware, more visually pleasing (though that's subjective, obviously).

In this design, I like the compactness (foldability), counterrotating rotors (for efficiency), the fact that the rotors are not in knee-height (like in this eHang 184 abomination), and the electric/fuel hybrid system.

BTW, I like PEVA as a name for this type of vehicle: Personal electric VTOL aircraft.

EDIT to add: Volocopter and eHang 184 have been around for years, and SureFly "reinvented" the helicopter? Right...
REITs don't necessarily run the building management or development sides of the business. Normally these functions are bid out to developers and property management companies.
A business on the first floor of a residential building used to be the standard. Well, maybe not THE standard but very common. Still seen pretty often in many cities with older construction. This is basically a 21st century version. Pretty good idea if you ask me.
They imply that consumers also want it by saying "consumer friendly".

It's like a robber saying: We want to develop victim-friendly ways to steal you.

Same with bars. I want to go have a drink and chat with people. I just don't understand the need for TV in places like these.
True. But there is a reason pilots are still a requirement.
I just heard from someone that rainwater collection is banned in parts of Colorado. Can someone with actual knowledge comment?
I don't know why you would characterize it that way when they very clearly describe what they've done to improve this and their plans to improve it further. I wish every company would "refuse to admit" the same way!
Claim 5 is a bit puzzling to me :

A key feature of the plasma magnet is that the diameter of the magnetosphere increases as the density of the solar wind decreases as it expands away from the sun. The resulting expansion exactly matches the decrease in density, ensuring constant thrust. Therefore the plasma magnet has a constant acceleration irrespective of its position in the solar system.

I'm not 100% sure about the science here, but the "exactly" looks a bit magical to me. If I understand the concept correctly, when the sail is closer to the sun, the particles "pressure" on the sail will "compress" and reduce its effective area.
> You could simply let anyone vote for anyone and elect the top N contenders where there is N seats

You could, but that would actually be worse the FPTP in single member districts.

> Logically the choices would resemble the choices of the population.

No, they wouldn't, except by chance. Say you have six candidates, A-F, for three seats. 75% of the electorate prefers an ideology generally espoused by A, B, and C; 25% prefers an ideology generally espoused by D and E, and 10% prefers an ideology espoused by F.

In the first group, A is by far the most effective campaigner and gets 70% of the total vote, with the remainder split evenly between B and C; in the second group, support is split equally between D and E. The last, of course, all goes to F.

So, in your top 3 vote, A and F win seats in the clear, and the third vote goes to a tiebreaker between D and E; this does not at all reflect the distribution of views in the population.

That's why methods like Single Transferrable Vote and it's relatives, using preference rather than bullet ballots, exist.
Most engineers have this bias. Feigned justification for biased decisions in the past rather than challenging original assumptions in the first place.

It stings to know that in the US, state-level initiatives like this are exceedingly rare, and national ones are (and will continue to be) non-existent. Even most local efforts like this are met with resistance, usually from NIMBYs that have no argument aside from that they don't like it. Americans have a very hard time seeing beyond their property boundaries.
Emacs and vim are perhaps the most configurable and extensible editors/IDEs in existence. Fast doesn't mean unhackable.

Every time I type `git commit`. Every time I visualise files with ranger (terminal based file browser). Every time I typed an email, back when I was using Mutt —which I might again.

For such quick jobs, launching the editor should be instantaneous. And I don't want to use another editor for them, I like the key bindings of my main editor.
Probably far too late to mention, but I have a bunch of projects on SF, and now I can't scroll through them on the me drop down menu.

It feels.. strange, and more responsive than the old stuff. I guess that's just change.

I never was a fan of github, I always preferred the geodistribution of SF, and of course it was so easy to make binary packages for end users. It's a shame the other people had to ruin a great place with selling the adware space, and Im so glad it's all gone.

I just fear in this environment of hipster flash with no substance, that a well rounded site like SF will never get the hipster VC financing that github does.

I hope you guys don't shutter any time soon, I love SF!
For quite a while, electric VTOL aircraft will be quite limited in what they can carry, I think, because the specific energy of batteries is just too far below that of gasoline.

LAX and SFO is a very popular route, so we figured we'd start there. Runway fees aren't too bad if we use the private terminals. We hope to expand to OAK and BUR and all other major routes in California.

It went into a lot of really interesting detail about symbiosis between different species and how many life forms and aspects of nature are interrelated and interdependent.

The swamp is low self esteem, the leeches are people who also have low self esteem and engage in self destructive behaviour, dragging others down with them.
California has a multipartisan redistricting commission consisting of equal numbers of Democrats, Republicans, and members of neither major party; it does not have a nonpartisan redistricting commission.
“We’ve tried it before” is a poor excuse, of course. The theory angle holds both some better excuses for not getting our hopes up and possibly some clues on how to get there.

We’ve got to avoid taking text for granted. Basically put, the adaptability, precision, fastidiousness, accessibility, etc. of the written word makes the modern world possible. Phonetic type is far and wide the greatest communication interface known to man.

I work with a lot of node-based softwares doing CGI and post-production work. A few of the daily softwares I use have a small editor in the bottom corner of the GUI. The node interfaces are very useful and hard to live without. I agree that, when doing visually-based work, it feels very off to have to stop what I’m doing and so scripting. It feels like a vastly different mode of the mind. But, as I’ve gotten better at scripting, (still not great) I have noticed that when I have a visual idea with no implementation, it can be a good time to start building it with a script. I have roughed put some 3D scenes in scripts from the start and found this to be a totally different
experience than the stop and change modes issue. I can’t argue for it’s productivity level, and I don’t know what the value of this observation is, but I honestly enjoy working this way when I do it. It’s as if my visual sensory system is relaxed and my imagination is utilized more. The ideas are parameterized rather than experienced. This does not happen with node interfaces, which actually introduce an extra visual experience. I am just babbling at this point, but these observations feel relevant. I do not, however, know what kinds of conclusions to draw from them.
You win a prize for the most bizarre story I'll read today.

That said, I think one thing you indicate here is helpful - life is a personal experience, and while some people may experience motivation from the exercise of willpower, others may feel they have their willpower 'broken down' over time.

I think the specific context of the experiment really does impact the results.

It is never as simple as:

It's sad that oppressive zoning regulations are still so popular.
Not sure how that's car culture at all. There's nothing wrong with cars.

If anything it's how they're used and how the automobile infrastructure (roads/highways/etc.) is constructed.
Electronics will do what they always do - get cheaper and better.

The cars (eventually) will not be like current cars. If they don't crash, they don't need as many safety features. They can be made much lighter and from cheaper materials. When the car is way lighter, it can use a smaller, simpler drivetrain. They will likely be electric. Maintenance on electric cars is far less than gasoline or diesel vehicles. Your robot car will likely be serviced by another robot.

Don't think of a Lexus with an instrument package bolted to the roof, think about adding a few hundred dollars of sensors and actuators on a fancy golf cart. I wouldn't be surprised if self driving cars are eventually available for less than $10,000. I think the low cost of the vehicles combined with the low cost of operating them will result in an explosion of ownership, not a reduction. I think when the cost of the vehicle drops and the cost of a trip drops, more vehicles will be sold and more trips will be made.

For me they broke automount (/etc/auto_master). It just... randomly takes root ownership of my smb shares. So I can't get to them. Then it randomly gives me ownership back. Crazy-making. Writing a Cocoa app right now to watch for kCFURLVolumeIsAutomountedKey errors and fix this bug myself.
It's funny reading this article that details how many core issues still exist, yet all the while both Atom and VSCode have spent significant engineering time and resources building superfluous features like shared real-time code editing and (Atom's) github integration. They are marketed as "text editors" and the feature work should be prioritized as such.
