While it could be easier, there are few languages I've ever felt I had to go through extraordinary lengths to get running.

Having the patience to set them up is probably a good indicator for having the patience to learn them. (Or rather, the reverse is probably more true)
As someone with no skin in the game, it seems to me that the philosophical conundrum of Go is whether one needs to use a language designed to produce the kind of code consistency it gives to Google-scale orgs or if you're better off working with a more "dangerous" or harder-to-read language which may create more technical debt but also allow you forge your own path as your devs prefer.

I keep looking at languages like Go and frameworks like Angular as being steered for huge-org problems, but I wonder if startups are better off incurring the debt of riskier, less conservative languages and paradigms and worrying about the technical debt only once they've reached the scale where it a) actually matters to your agility in delivering customer value and b) you have the capital to make it worth solving the problem.

Maybe this is reading too much into the generics kerfluffle, but I would love to be enlightened if anyone can clarify this further.
Interstate 405 toll lanes, turning two way roads into one way roads to add a bicycle lanes in many places, lowering arterial speeds from 30 to 25mph and in downtown streets from 25 to 20mph.

The 405 toll lanes originally removed capacity on off peek hours by removal of the HOV lanes, until pushback had them undo it. 2 person HOV was removed.

The way the WADOT has been measuring success of the toll lanes is by polling people at the Bellevue Transit Center to find out if they are now taking the bus because of the toll lanes.
It is being sexist, and it's being rather absurdist with it's definition of "free speech".
I agree that more transit is necessary, but the city just hasn't been keeping up. They are making it harder for cars without providing viable alternatives.
So they did not base any decision on the observation?
I mean, giving yourself a month or two to get used to your own stink is lovely and all.. but what about the rest of us who still have to smell you?

Woah woah woah. I mean video games are a drop in the bucket of the conversation here.

WHO actually has 60 hours a week of leisure between the ages of 31-55?! How is that the average?

6am: wake. shower sometimes.
6:15am-7:45: take care of kids, eat breakfast, get dressed.
7:45-5:45: commute and work.
6-7: eat dinner
7-7:30: kids to bed.
7:30-8: cleanup house
8-10: maybe leisure, often home production.
10: bed.

Weekends have _at most_ 6 hours of leisure per day.

That works out to 22 hours, best case scenario.

I asked around the office. No one else is getting 60 hours.
Let me buy you a beer sometime. I can't tell you how valuable OneBusAway has been to me and my friends — no other transit apps I've seen in any city have come close to the utility it provides (even if the estimates are sometimes a bit off).

When cars first appeared, there were calls to "clean up our cities" by using cars instead of horses.

Horses also regularly killed people.
Thanks for following up. I had to reply to your words, because of all the votes it was given and all the replies conforming my interpretation of your words as true for many and the effective burying of the real problem, even if you didn’t intend it. I’m VERY happy to know my criticism doesn’t apply to you, but it still applies to the thread.

> Where were you earlier?

Finding time to write a thorough and thoughtful reply to such an important subject. ;)

> But the fact that even a few behave like this is of course a problem that not only lies with a few. All of us creates a culture which in turn creates these assholes. So even if we think we aren't assholes ourselves, we more than likely are part of making a culture of assholes.

Well said.
It isn't just the "soft" roles anymore...when I first started applying for positions I got absolutely nothing when I was applying as a male...I literally only changed my name/sex from Joe/male to Joanna/female, reapplied at all the same companies and within the week I heard back from each and every company...they don't want average males...preference is for women now...at least from my experience
You could just soap the most important areas that cause odor - armpits, groin and feet every time. Sometimes neck and behind the ears to exfoliate. Everything else plain water, unless I've been hiking etc. I do this with a plain unscented soap, takes only a minute or two to shower and no odor problem. Light soap on face maybe every other day. Skin feels much healthier this way.
People don't get punished for that definition of "stalking", which you specifically referenced in your first post.
Not only pointless but imo they became dangerous because they over did it. When there was a real alarm people just thought it was a drill and were relunctant to bother moving.
Bus routes are a circuit, so they are more heavily impacted by traffic than other modes of transportation. Thus, heavy traffic regularly makes Seattle's commuter buses 10-20 minutes late. The bus from Mountlake Terrace can sometimes be over an hour late, and rush hour makes this a 2-hour ride on top of the wait.

With a car, you can hop off the freeway and take a side street and you're there in 30-40 minutes instead of 2+ hours.

If you want to discuss borderline-criminal mismanagement, there's the $50 billion ST3 plan. We could put one WA State resident on the moon for that price.
Not who you're asking, but I think that is incorrect. Intuitive explanations are how mathematicians usually communicate proofs to each other in person, when discussing mathematics. The receiving mathematician is convinced of the proof's validity if their own intuition and experience tells them that the nitty-gritty details can be formalised correctly.
Were you objecting to "all of waze data"? Because otherwise your statement seems pretty strong without references.

Technical issues can have solutions :)

I guess someone motivated could run some experiments and try to figure out what is actually shared.
Great idea. Don't carry physical books at all; maybe just a postcard-size flyer to advertise a particular text. Buy the postcard--which could be signed by the author--and get a code to download the book. Turn the spaces into, a la FNAC, exhibition spaces, deliberately permitting 'cataloging' of similar products.

Keep in mind that the publishers don't really have skin in the game. Theirs, at least in the U.S., is wholly a consignment business.

Put in an Espresso Book Machine for those who want paper copies.

Make the stores membership only: blend bookstores and libraries. Offer an experience not obtainable elsewhere.
Currently there is nothing to stop mappers using tags in wrong ways. It should just be flat out impossible. If a field/tag isn't defined in the schema, it could not be used. The range of values should be limited in the same way, too.
How big is your list of 'generic domains'? There are email providers that give you hundreds of domains to use, and only take 5 minutes to register.
In Boston the downtown B&N is actually pretty uninspired, and the store is probably 60% non-book items. It's like an airport bookstore (Hudson News in the US).

And yet, from my experience no place in the city has a more comprehensive catalog of magazines (some come close). Go figure!
For crypto currencies, don't you need reliable electricity and internet first?
You're right, of course. I don't really know how the city coordinates with the state, but I'd assume that there's certainly collaboration w.r.t. main conduits of traffic into the city, as well as with the greater Seattle metro area.

It should be a 100%. They also need to get armed security.

My alma mater had its own police force, and it was really helped. It reduced not just shootings, but violent crime in general.

EDIT: Also the FBI needs to be investigated. Apparently they were warned several times about that Florida shooter. It's just utterly unbelievable, Wray should be fired, and a special counsel set up to investigate this unbelievable failure. Ex. The Fbi said it couldn't verify the shooter, who used his own name on youtube with death threats. Unbelievable!

Are there any states where guns are allowed and prevalent in schools? Seems like a mass shooter would want to go to a place where he knows he is the only person with a gun.

On one hand, if there a tons of guns in schools, perhaps kids would randomly shoot eachother during fights. On the other hand, there are mass shooters who see schools as easy targets.

The shooter in FL apparently had lots of FBI data on him. He told kids about guns, he posted weird comments on youtube.
Oh, it does. Roadkill definitely gets eaten by people. At least one person, anyway.

If anyone wants to ride in on their high horse, I'd eat that too. Nobody does it who can afford not to.

The thought of a very rich man from one of the most developed countries in the world, giving away tons of BTC in an attempt to "solve Venesuela's problems" strikes me as arrogant and naive. The heart is in the right place. But different countries work differently. It would take someone who knows a lot about Venezuela to solve Venezuela's problems.

Massive charity handouts almost always end in dismal failure. Because the philanthropists don't understand the core problem, and thus the money is inevitably wasted.

----------------

Instead, Bill Gate's model of "Economic Philanthropy" looks like it can truly scale. Bill Gates sells malaria nets and vaccines to the people of Africa. Why?

Because if the customer doesn't want to pay for it, its probably because the customer knows something you don't know. Malaria Nets were the solution: the people of Africa buys it, and that's how we know that its a good solution.

Bitcoin is already a potential solution to the people of Venezuela. If the people of Venezuela believed in Bitcoin, they'd be buying it. They're not dumb. Very likely, for reasons unbeknownst to us, they've chosen to do something else. We have to trust THEIR decision on this. After all, Venezuelan citizens are living in the crisis. They likely know more about their own situation than any Goldman Sachs executive who has lived in the USA.

Alternatively: if BTC is a solution and Venezuelan citizens are buying up BTC, then the problem will solve itself without need of a handout. IIRC, I've heard some stories about some businessmen in Venezuela using BTC before. But I live thousands of miles away: its hard for me to know if its an isolated curiosity or something that really is permeating the nation.

Any valid solution that benefits a Venezuelan Citizen, would allow us to "sell" said solution to those citizens. One-sided charity efforts are often doomed to failure.
No, the page they link to clearly licenses it freely and they and their artist (who kept "meticulous records") were clearly aware of it.

Though, their tone elsewhere does indicate that they would have happily copied it, so you are partially right.
If acidity is all you care about, just get a bag of powdered citric acid so you can more carefully control the concentration.
I just experimented on Google Maps with an arbitrary route: random place near Microsoft campus to a random nice park in Seattle: 1hr30 minutes.

Car: 23 minutes. Even during the awful 520 rush hour, it's still ~15-30min faster.

Pretty hard to imagine losing 2hrs on a round-trip into the city is a benefit for anyone that can't afford to live in the city proper.

To add my take here, this was a problem in 2003 too when I wanted to learn, but C++ was such a hard starting point.

The big takeaway is modern commercial programming is so far from "learning to program". That's a hard gap to bridge when a newbie is learning "making a terminal based calculator and wondering how do I build an 'app' or 'web app'?". One Month a YC company tried to solve this but the market is hard to reach because education is hard.

I have an Automator workflow script, which uses emacsclient to edit any text, in my `~/Library/Services`. The service receives selected text in any application and output replaces the selected text. It consists of two parts: Run AppleScript, and Run Shell Script.

The AppleScript part is:

on run {input, parameters}
tell application "EmacsMac" to activate
tell application "System Events"
repeat until visible of process "Emacs" is true
delay 0.5
end repeat
end tell
return input
end run

and the Shell Script part (pass input to stdin) is:

tmp=$(mktemp "$HOME/tmp/EditTextinEmacsXXXXXXXX")
ec=/Applications/MacPorts/EmacsMac.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient
cat > "$tmp"
until [ $($ec -q -e '(server-running-p)' 2>/dev/null) == t ]; do
sleep 1
done
$ec -q -c "$tmp"
rv="$?"
cat "$tmp"
if [ $rv -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Something went wrong. Please find your text in"
echo "$tmp"
else
rm "$tmp"
fi

Getting it to work with any editor should be straightforward.
I'm really surprised now that consideration of the 'quantum of funds' was not mentioned at all in the report, even as a footnote.

On face value, I would argue that $45/week extra although appreciated is not significant.

As a thought experiment it's in the scale of, 1hr week spend more time help kids with homework, 1hr spend additional time job searching, 1hr deal with program administrative/reporting requirements.

If a family say rewards themselves with a night out once a week for a dinner or movies etc, these funds are quickly gone.

I think the scale here implies an incentive based around addressing a lack of will e.g. "Well if they just had a little more encouragement they'd spend more time helping their kids with education and seeking employment and good health".

At this scale it does not address what I'll call 'incentive based on providing significant additional means for positive risk taking behaviour and structural optimization'.

I define structural behavior as when a family makes significant changes to their own setup towards have an effect; like moving closer to the school, hiring a tutor, pursuing course further studies part time (2-3 days a week).

Although the research process seems robust I agree the low quantum of funds discounts the greater significance of the findings.

TLDR; Summary of findings: 'When we gave poor familes enough weekly funds to go out for dinner once a week alongside a bunch of criteria to seek improvement in their life, it made little difference'
I would love to have good public transit, but being someone who bused from 2008 until 2015 it will never happen.

Busses in the city are plagued by our homeless. A lot of the busses simply don't feel safe, especially if you're a female traveling solo.

The exception to the rule seems to be the 'commuter' busses, double deckers that go to park and rides straight downtown, but park and rides are full by 6:30 with not enough parking, and service is limited.

Connecting busses out of county (Community Transit, Gnomish county) sucks, no service out of 9-5 hours Monday through Friday. Total roundtrips for most people start at 2 hours and go up to 4 (my commute to college and home).

Ultimately, the buses are torn between two opposing causes: serving disadvantaged members of the community by being cheap and helping people commute at odd hours, or serving mass commuters that work downtown, and it fails at both.
Maybe inside of Seattle it's "good", but when I lived near Microsoft I would have to allocate 3hrs+ for a round-trip into the city by public transit.
It's getting harder because it's become fashionable to shun IDEs that make most of these issues obsolete, and have done so since at least the 90's. It's ridiculous to expect newcomers to a language and/or programming in general to slog through a 20 or 30-step environment setup process. This idea that using an IDE will discourage someone from finding out the more detailed workings of the language, compiler, etc. is nonsense. If anything, immediate progress and reward will encourage new developers to keep going and exploring further, whereas an overly-complicated, tangled mess of setup instructions will just make many people throw their hands up and quit.

Case in point: my first experience with the Delphi IDE in 1996 had me immediately writing a basic text editor without knowing anything about Delphi/Object Pascal at all prior to sitting down with it. Drag, drop, consult the context-sensitive help, write some code, and compile/run, all in the same IDE. It also helped that Delphi shipped with the entire source code to it's RTL and the VCL (Visual Component Library), but that's more important as you get deeper into the language/product.

FWIW I don't really think any of these problems are "new" and don't think OSM is truly in any more trouble than it's ever been. And as many tensions as there obviously are in OSM, it hasn't stopped us getting pretty damn far. And if anyone thinks that OSM may be stagnating I would suggest getting involved in improving their local area (it's not hard!) and I think they will quickly find out for themselves.

Do you use body soap when you've gotten very sweaty from exercise? How about when you've gotten very dirty from physical labor in a dirty environment? If so, does this temporarily "throw off" your natural oils? For how long? Would someone that exercises heavily/gets dirty often enough, never be able to achieve oil homeostasis because of this?

Related: How do you feel about the Roman-Empire cleaning method of applying (usually olive) oil to your skin and then scraping it off (with something like a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strigil)? I've been thinking for a while that it might get you clean from sweat/dirt without throwing off your skin-oil balance.
Ha! We're alike in the sense that the more people tell me it can't be done, the harder I work to prove the opposite. To sum up my counterarguments: I have a feeling the market size isn't goint to be big, and it's going to be pretty hard. And you're right, both arguments are not fact based.
