They’ve replaced the meter-per-space with a single digital meter per block. And that’s also only there in particularly commercially oriented areas, not in residential areas. Though I personally agree with the argument that we should be charging for parking on public property everywhere in the city.
Yes but I think there are two problems with your ideas, at least when it comes to Twitter:

> organize small isolated confrontations, exactly the opposite of doing an epic moral speech in front of the crowd because one cannot have reasonable and logical arguments in a big group.

That won't work. Open any Trump tweet and click on any person whether he/she is for or against president. You will see never-ending stream of tweets back and forth at each other, one party tries to convince other that Trump cheated on his wife, meanwhile other tries to convince that Clinton had her server hacked. Eventually such stream boils down to competition of who is more aggressive, rude and provocative against each other. Many such conversations ends with Hitler being injected, but of course no party will ever see the other side. I literally monitored 3 such streams of women wasting 10 days of their lives going after each other with frequency of one tweet per 45 minutes.

Your idea to break it down and sort of "mediate" between two people that honestly are not interested in even hearing what the other side has to say, but are only engaged to vent off and blindly cheer whatever cool aid they been already sold on long time ago (i.e. that Trump is incredible president, not a con man, or Clinton is amazing women, not a crook) won't work.

Second and finally:

> My guess is that only whitelisting makes sense and with a granularity lower than instances.

Twitter has signed off its death sentence when it went public. Its a tectonic shift within your organization when you move from serving users for the good sake of the whole system, into serving stockholders that only spend 15 minutes with you, once a year at the end of financial period and will only look into one-page accounting statements of profits and loss.

While twitter users and even owners may want the most happy, prosperous and healthy environment in which everyone thrives and enjoy spending their evening reading and responding to tweets, the truth is the only people Twitter answers to is stockholders who only wants to squeeze as many ads into your timeline as possible. I'll say it even more: if Twitter starts fixing its feeds and doing further account purges, they will get sued by stockholders because obviously less users on platform equals to less ads-engagement. And its irrelevant whether you engaged with trollbots or real genuine people; it only matters you seen (and hopefully clicked) on ads.

Does this sound about right?
> updates take longer to trickle down to your project

Not necessarily. Who said that we're honoring constraints every single library declared for its transitive dependencies?

We could. But perhaps we should be careful not to assume all systems have to be built this way.

> in Go ... dependency trees are usually very flat ; in the JS ecosystem ... many levels deep

Right. So if we made the choice by fiat to simply disregard version constraints proposed by libraries for their transitive dependencies, and determine our own version selections purely by testing satisfaction of interfaces and tests, this would work out very differently in these two ecosystems due to those coefficients. In one of them, it's quite tenable in practice.
It's amazing how doing something different is automatically viewed as bad for you. I'm guessing you don't look unhealthy? Are the people who say you're crazy healthy?

Digital Voice Recorders – All You Need to Know
I can't think of something off the top of my head, but it's usually related to generics. I'll type something that makes sense, but the compiler doesn't like it.

Another issue is that handling of string literals as types can be wonky when they're being compared against the type "string", which they should always satisfy but sometimes don't.
And companies have in fact used this to make their devices only work with their own brand of chargers. I know HP has at least, because I have one. Does a pretty great job of defeating the "universal" aspect of the Universal Serial Bus.

In addition to preventing the use of third party power bricks, it also makes all of those USB-C docks with power passthrough useless.
This was the first test of federation's claim that bad actors can be dealt with by instance-banning. They failed the test and without this key innovation performing to spec I no longer have faith that Mastadon is any more than a technically complicated open source Twitter.

IMO once the account was verified as Wheaton's the entire federation should have blacklisted every instance harboring a false accuser until they demonstrated they can be a functioning member of the fediverse.

Of course, there are better ideas in this thread such as removing the social proofing mechanisms which fuel tweet/toot abuse in the first place. But if we're just speaking in the nouns and verbs that are part of Mastodon's sales pitch they had a tool to address this and demonstrated they can't wield it.
We started using SGI Personal IRIS systems which were I think were using 33MHz MIPS R3000 processors in the late 80s. I think they might been able to address a heady 32Meg of RAM. We were developing a graphical operation control system at the steelworks where I worked as an engineer. I remember them costing something like $25-30K each. So to enable enough developers we had to add serial terminals and X terminals. It was actually this aspect that got me involved in finding open source X windows solutions that allowed us too repurpose standard Intel PCs as terminals. Fun times. But the sgi's were ahead of everything else out there. While we didn't have a real work need for their 3D capability it did let you see what the future could hold.
So just hammers :)

I live in Norway, in a city of 180-200k people. Folks use public transportation or walking all the time. With children. For everyday food shopping.

You don't need to shop only once a week - 2-3 times makes carrying your goods easier. You can dress for the weather. It isn't all that big of a deal. Children in strollers have warm stuff around them. They sell bikes with studded tires for use on snow. It was tiring when I first moved here, but you get used to it and it isn't a big deal. Kids get used to walking and will sometimes even help carry things back.

I'd more argue that the real reason it doesn't work so well in much of the states is because the public transportation sucks. Walkways suck most places - half the towns I lived in didn't even make sure you could walk to the stores on sidewalks. More people were expected to work 50-60 hours a week on top of this. Poor folks sometimes work two jobs. Many employers don't have secure places to put your stuff while you are at work (no bike racks, no locker to put your winter gear or umbrella in). Fixing these problems help greatly.

This reminds me of the OCaml "Ancient" library[1] that I wrote. It lets you have an extra heap of OCaml objects which can be stored in an mmap'd file and even shared between processes (although the sharing must be read-only and has a number of problems like everything has to be mapped at the same address which conflicts with ASLR - we didn't use pointer<->offset conversion as done in this article because it would touch every page and you'd end up with no sharing).

I originally wrote it to analyze large data sets (where "large" meant 16+ GB which was much larger than the commonly available RAM at the time).

It integrated nicely with OCaml. You could create ordinary OCaml objects then incrementally "mark" them so those objects would be moved (recursively) into the ancient heap. The objects could still be accessed as if they were ordinary OCaml objects even if they were on the ancient heap. On the other side you could mmap a previous heap and access the objects as if they were regular OCaml objects directly (with a few shortcomings - see README). Depending on your access pattern this worked well even if available RAM was much smaller than the size of the data set.

Yep, it is dangerous. If you're not quantifying uncertainty, you can't make safe predictions. I think this is reason for the obsession with "data cleaning" in the ML community, "outliers" aka rare observations sink general models.

That’s probably just Google’s aversion to paying for QA. I get the same kind of problems in Chrome and their apps which randomly go away after clearing the cache, resetting the app, etc. I suspect the root cause is that most of their developers want to work on cool things rather than fixing the previous round.
I’m not sure I understood what you mean by “accountability”. Platforms that have tried to enforce real world identities, like Facebook, have clearly shown that putting one’s name to a piece of content has very little to do with how nasty people will be. We also know at least a few (if not several) prominent people on Twitter who say and do nasty things while posting with their real names and identities.

What people put online and how they convey things are more about what people are innately than about putting real names and photos around.

Putting real names and identities also exposes people (those vulnerable due to circumstances or those who’re against commonly held notions in their social setting).

>This is a little machine which works on the ends of large pieces of lumber. That's convenient. It's hard to work on the ends of long pieces with a ShopBot, which is a vertical spindle machine.

A similar theme of "bring a small machine to the wood material instead of the wood to the large machine" is the handheld portable CNC (e.g. Shaper[1]) instead of laying the wood on a large 4'x8' or 5'x10' bed underneath a gantry[2].

(I've only seen demos of Shaper so can't comment on the viability of a computer guiding imperfect human motor skills. It seems obvious a CNC on a precision gantry would be more ultra-precise.)

I support it for lanes with a mixture of walking and biking (which at least in Norway is almost all the bike lanes). There is a huge difference in outcome in colliding with pedestrians in 25 km/h vs 30 km/h. Non-e-bikers that hit 30 km/h necessarily have a certain amount of training to keep those speeds consistently, while e-bikes give people on their first bike trip the same speed.
I saw that for default props, but can I use it yet?

The React typescript definitions are still on 2.8 [1], and I imagine that they plan to stick with 2.8 until maybe the next major react release?

API endpoint for all of my upvotes (might be after authentication or not)
Yeah, not sure. For the first point, actually i don't really care: eg the action i would like to take is simply to ignore the whole thread for myself (and thus in a sensible distributed system where people might make their policy depend on mine because they trust me, it would also lower the rank of this thread and in the end isolate it in some limbo). And after some time, one can hope that a long-term effect of discouraging abuse, shitstorm and humor/meme buzz will educate users and make "interesting" uses take over (eg these people will either get off this particular network or stop participating in flame wars because there are less of them and that there is no social reward on the network).

And for the second point, i completely agree with you: there is no way that twitter makes the right thing. But i was mainly talking about what "a hypothetical well-run probably federated or even fully distributed social network" (possibly mastodon but not restricted to it).
Hi folks, I see you found my 'parts bin' Z80 board!

Coincidentally, I'm reworking part of it on the desk in front of me right now. I'm removing the address decoder (top left) for the I/O (LED) port and am replacing it with a control line from the GAL (which is now a 22V10 instead of a 20V8).

Apart from giving me something to build, the intention is to use the board as a STEM show-and-tell item during school visits and local 'Jams' - I am a volunteer STEM ambassador in the UK and my company kindly gifts employees several 'volunteering' days a year for local activities, so I help out with career & STEM days as well as weekend special events (eg: https://twitter.com/linker3000/status/1020709404843421696).

Since I had the GALs to hand, using one is fine for me - but for those who haven't got a programmer it would be a bit of an expense to tool up for it, so I don't expect many to copy the design.

Someone asked in another thread about the single-sided wirewrapping technique; it IS really quick to do, is easy to trace where you're going to/from, rework is quick, PLUS as a STEM show-and-tell, everything is on one side so it can be left on a desk and doesn't need to be constantly picked up/put down to see everything; this reduces the risk of damaging the wiring and board.

Also being able to remove all the dispatch and stack-allocate everything. Haskell would probably do a good job of that too but in python or js, even with codegen, it would be hard to avoid heap allocation. The simple examples here might fall to escape analysis, but in production code the intermediate Blob values typically cross a lot of function boundaries.

> Germany alone has SoundCloud and SAP.

I find it amusing that you'd mention these two in the same breath. I'm glad SoundCloud didn't go under, but it's not like it's all wine and roses over there [1].

There are several European unicorns in the last decade (Spotify and Adyen for example), if you wanted to focus on startups. Alternatively, if the focus is companies in Germany that hire software engineers like SAP does, there's always Siemens, multiple German financial industry firms, SUSE, and so on.

it is not a b/w choice between 100% solar or 100% oil, hybrid solutions could work and address the gaps solar/electric cannot handle,even 10-20% emission savings could mean a lot .

Also it doesn't have to be solar directly, an electric propulsion system which can use hydrogen or high density battery/ storage which plugs into the grid eventually is good enough.
