The idea is that once whole grains are processed into flour, the surface area is increased enough to make the benefits much smaller than eating actually whole grains (like rice). A little more googling shows me that whole grain pasta is definitely better for you, (has more fiber and vitamins naturally, and digests a little slower). I also learned that pasta is actually significantly lower on the glycemic index than bread. I haven't been able to find any scientific papers on this, but the general idea is that when you grind whole grains into a flour, you digest them pretty much just as fast as white flour due to the increased surface area, so although whole grain pasta/bread is better, it's not as beneficial as eating actually whole grains like brown rice. A lot of nutritionists believe this to be true, but I made the mistake of assuming scientific papers were out there to back their reasoning. In the end, it seems like portion control is still the winner here, and that it is indeed better to eat whole grain pasta over white pasta.
The idea that the current residents have a right to extract a tax on the future ones is the basic motivation of nimbysm. Then come zoning controls, come construction controls, all those that make the new buildings more expensive to make, and the old ones more and more increasing in value, even at the decay of services or population.
> Obviously something else is going on, density itself isn’t magic.

Of course it's not. You can have dense cheap cities (Tokyo, Chicago), dense expensive cities (Hong Kong, NYC), sprawled cheap cities (Houston, Indianapolis), and sprawled expensive cities (Palo Alto, Los Angeles). Density doesn't make a city cheap any more than it makes it expensive. Supply relative to demand does.

If you want a nearly perfect predictor of housing prices, don't look at density, look at the vacancy rate. The vacancy rate is probably the most direct way of measuring supply vs demand. If you have a high vacancy rate, you have a cheap city, and if you have a low vacancy rate, you have an expensive city.

The reason density is often touted as the solution is because increasing density is an increase in supply. It only moves the needle in one direction. Sprawl also moves the needle in that same direction. Cities with lots of space to move out have both options, and typically sprawl is cheaper. A city like Seattle or San Francisco doesn't have both options, so density is the only way to increase supply.

An autopilot does not have to outperform a human driver in every imaginable situation as long as we make smart tradeoffs regarding what the machine can and cannot deal with and there are still significant advantages over humans in the managable common case.

There may not be a solution in sight for making robots deal with badly marked roads for example, but we might be able to just sidestep the problem with better road markings or more conservative handover-to-human protocols in areas with improperly marked roads.

> Which ISPs are so bad that you want to use external services, which are further in distance than your ISP, for speed?

When I upgraded my WiFi equipment at home a month ago I thought it was defective. Multiple times every day I'd seem to lose connectivity to the internet. After two weeks it occurred to me that my previous router was configured to do a couple things for me, one of which was overriding what DNS servers were assigned with DHCP. I reconfigured my new equipment to use those DNS servers and suddenly everything works normally.

It would have helped if they hadn’t done everything they could possibly imagine to fragment windows as much as possible. Six SKUs of Windows desktop, then on top of those two entire desktop UI environments in desktop and Metro, then Windows on ARM, then shifting from one new development stack to another, then another. Then mandating store apps. This was foot shooting on full automatic, clip after clip. I switched to a Mac desktops in 2007 before Vista so I watched all of this with stunned bemusement and to be honest have little idea how it affected users and Devs reliant on the platform, except from reading the occasional article by Paul Thurrott.
That actually sounds fun.

National anchors clearly have a boss that they listen to, but they also pretty clearly have a pretty large amount of editorial control over their shows.
> robbing us of our right to defend ourselves

Well, the problem with that narrative is that most of the center-left is quite happy to find a comprimise. It seems like arms dealers are too, actually. It's mostly the NRA unable to disengage its PR machine from collapsing the entire narrative to "you'll take our guns" vs "total gun freedom".

So that itself is a good thing to bring up: it's impossible to disassemble with facts because it's already counterfactual.

Similar things can be said of the freedom of association and freedom of religion arguments. They're currently fixed by a narrative of constant assault that most folks freely admit is poorly supported in their daily experience, but that they're convinced (by media groups coordinated by Sinclair) are just over the horizon coming from them.

It's certainly fair to claim left wing media has bias. We should always be watchful for bias and unfairness in our media. It's just that right now, unless you believe in hidden child porn rings in pizza shops being shut down by a secret Trump task force (the Storm, a literal extension of pizzagate), potential influence from demons/lizard people in the democratic party (Alex Jones pushes this narrative), or a global Jewish coordinated conspiracy that reaches down to the level of each individual life on the planet, and that ever Muslim is part of a coordinated global conspiracy to "end whitness"... Well you get the picture. Unless you believe in the output of this machine coordinated to spread this disinformation (and I say machine because we've got people freely admitting part of it is theirs, e.g., Cambridge Analytica), facts and uncharitable readings are sufficient from the left wing media.

A centrist or even a libertarian should have no problem picking their poison in the marketplace of ideas, unless they're genuinely bought into these increasingly absurd conspiracy theories that put 9/11-truther levels of weird to shame.
My only guess is that they save on human auditing of some kind that is a legal requirement of the industry (and communication/scheduling overheads of that auditing). Maersk operates across many different countries/languages and probably has different levels of technology in each of those countries that makes auditing difficult.
>I'm worried they're going to let the OS stagnate.

An OS should be stagnant. Its job is to get out of the way as soon as possible, not to constantly wow its users with cool stuff. Any user-facing change will break existing workflows and force people to learn new habits.

Change is bad. That goes for every piece of software, from OSes to web browsers to libraries. Stagnation should be your goal.

Microsoft can't do things properly. Without constant pointless novelty they couldn't convince people to buy a new version every few years. That business model has made them a lot of money, but making money and making good software are nearly orthogonal goals.

EDIT: Maybe I've misunderstood you. It sounds like you're talking about bugfixes, which certainly something Microsoft should work on.

I can state with some certainty that he never seemed passionate about games or gaming. I think he liked being a productive businessman and just didn't see the beauty nor profit in gaming until it was too late.

I'll never forget the time he demoed Halo (which was supposed to be PowerPC-first!) at Macworld Expo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzrme9yWens We all know the huge letdown that happened after that. (Or at least, every Mac and gaming fan knows.)

While not answering the question directly, you can peek into Cargo.lock to see what all libraries are used by the project:

https://github.com/spacekookie/tinyrocket/blob/master/Cargo....

Of course what of those end up in the final binary is an open question. It would be kinda cool to see a dependency tree with size annotations, but I suppose that might be bit tricky to produce.

But I did find "cargo-bloat"[1] tool that gives following output:

File .text Size Name

24.6% 100.0% 502.6KiB .text section size, the file size is 2.0MiB

When the stripped binary on my system is 979K. So it manages to account for about half of the binary size. From what is accounted, I suppose yansi (ANSI terminal lib) is the most superfluous, followed by toml parsing. Other than those, most of the stuff seems kinda relevant for a web framework.

I'm now bit curious what the 979 - 502.6 = 476.4 remaining kilobytes are.. and totally nerdsniped. Running size gets me following:

[zokier@zarch tinyrocket]$ size -A -d target/release/tinyrocket

.bss 464 3096784
.comment 69 0
Total 998309

So almost 290k in .rodata, that seems suspicious. Quick look at it shows about 17k of html as steveklabnik mentioned, but other than that I can't really identify any major blocks. I suppose this is the end of the dive, unless someone knows some tools to get more insight into .rodata data. I suppose in theory it should be possible to track down where in the code each bit of .rodata is accessed from, but that seems bit of a stretch.

This is average for the area and if you can be remote you can live comfortably here. I think the fact they posted the salary is a good thing. IMO there shouldn't be some threshold to make the post relevant, if someone wants the job, it's not like they hid the salary from them.

Yeah, that ought to be a great sales line.

I'd be wary about how the real world actually deals with that, but there is no lack of large companies jumping on short term costs cuts without looking at the risks.

Actually, no, back in that day long ago, in a world far away, the local broadcaster wasn't 'owned' by the big three. The local broadcaster was independent, and they got their feed for first run programming, and the "world news" from their affiliation (more akin to the local purchasing the rights to broadcast) with one of the big three majors.

There used to be actual regulations on the books that prevented this type of consolidation from happening. Then, sometime circa. the 1980's, those laws were tossed out, leading to today where one single corporate parent controls nearly 200 local broadcasters in a very direct way.
Still the best desktop OS, sadly.
There are non-technical reasons to prefer locally hosted accounting software. Privacy is one if them.

Recently his name kept popping up so I decided to read Austerlitz. I don't read enough books in German, which is my mother tongue, so I thought I'd give it a try but, honestly, it's a slog. Lots of interesting bits but the language is too pretentious and strained for my taste.

I wonder if he's better in English, will give it a try.
YIMBYs come out to support apartment buildings, not factories. The big YIMBY upzoning bill increases permitted housing density while not interfering with sidewalks. This sort of reply is pedantic. “Zoning” to YIMBYs means single-family and low-rise caps on residential density, and sometimes the separation of shops/offices from residential neighborhoods.

Except they're not "mouth pieces". Local journalists are much more independent than national ones. This instance by Sinclair of attempting to combat the national news broadcasters was a David vs Goliath attempt, and they are coming out of it much worse than David did.
