Quite a few cities in France have been developping trams line this past couple of decade.

In "Ile de France" (Paris and its metropolitan area) the last tram line was closed in 1938 but it's coming back and there are now 14 lines planned, 10 of which are already opened (8 of those opened between 2006 and 2017), the oldest one opened in 1992 and the last one in the current plan should open in 2023.

It's quite possible that the indigenous population knew of the cave, but it's very unlikely they ever purposefully descended into it. There's not much reason to, and it would be a very difficult descent.
Thats the point! We in the west want to keep our freedom. If Google would censor there search for china every other dictatorship in the world would want there own censored one. Maybe Germany wants swastikas and Hitler censored. China should become more liberal but this won't happen because then the Chinese leadership will fall and a revolution would happen and together with that North Korea would fall and leave Russia as the last communist country.

It's all about typography
Crafting awesome digital experiences is difficult. Let alone create a good set of rules of a good reading experience!

In the last days I spend some time dissecting Medium.com typography to find the secrets for their secret sauce.

Usually a great reading experience require a great font. Like Medium.com does.

However using google fonts in your web projects is always a good idea as their cdn's are lightning fast (and they are free).

I tried all fonts in google fonts website and found out that you can recreate their reading experience very very similarly with free fonts.

The best fonts (in alternative to Medium ones) in my opinion are:

- Lora, as content font
- Playfair display, as brand font
- Montserrat, as UI font

I recreated their reading experience for a blog post in a live demo: https://codepen.io/lucagez/full/bQObBe/

I found myself always struggling for for a basic set of rules to make a decent reading experience. So I made a minimal boilerplate useful for bootstrapping a project. I hope someone will find it useful.

Happy typography,

No. It's for exposure.
That's because those the countries importing them make that proposition economical.

For the Chinese, producing a car is like producing a hammer: only the production costs count.

Driving a polluting car in China seems to be getting more expensive. That's why they do it less.

Driving a polluting car in, say, the US, is not getting more expensive, so they import those cars.
That's an elaborate gimmick:

1. double-click "System";

2. double-click "Shell";

3. type in "C:" and press [RETURN].

And the gimmick falls apart, revealed for what it truly is. For bonus points, open "Utilities" and try to launch "MultiView". Good luck with that.

It seems like this AI makes probabalistic guesses based on empirical data, so you need to validate the guess by comparing it with reality. Sometimes reality is not available and from my ignorant perspective, a much better way would be to discover the mathematical principles behind protein-folding and deductively know the exact folding with certainity. Focusing resources on a deductive solution to the problem is much better than creating a statistical guessing machine. AI solutions often seem to shift focus from deductive solutions to statistical ones and I don't think that is progress in the longterm
Procrastination.

First, air moves, so that is not totally correct.

Second, the local air quality is related to local policy: if other countries want to improve their local air quality, local policies are needed.

China seems to be working in that direction, although they are by far not yet there.
I'm not sure of the exact details but taxis are different. Think of any big city taxi - NYC, London, etc. - you've ever gotten into. Bigger. Boxier. More trunk space, etc.

Now consider GM's plant closing in the USA. Plants are configured to produce certain vehicles. Volume matters.

Yes, cars and taxis are close, but for a number of reasons probably not as close as you think.

> but how is a taxi different from a normal car? Build electric cars and you can have electric taxis?

Aside from interior layout and a few things like a sign on top, the expected design for a London Black cab is a large, tall sedan, capable of city driving for many hours of the day, and with a very small turning circle.

It requires full international cooperation, otherwise carries will tend to tank where taxes are lower. Not that that is always possible: if you land in Frankfurt and your deposit is empty, you will still need to tank in Frankfurt.

But, without international cooperation, fly routes could become distorted because of kerosine tax effects.

There are also a few electric-only buses rolling out. Along with a lot of them being hybrid with auto start-stop now so they aren't polluting while in traffic. Id like to see more of them move to electric only though!
I really dislike the standard definition of a group - that it's a set S together with a binary operation * such that a bunch of properties hold. The definition doesn't build intuition, and doesn't motivate the introduction of the concept of "group".

For me, a group is the set of isomorphisms of a graph. If you expand the definition of "graph" a little to include continuous spaces, that is sufficient to define all groups. And yet, this nice, intuitive definition of a group might show up at the end of a course in group theory - if you're lucky.

It really is a shame how much intuition is stripped from mathematics teaching in the name of formalism.

I reluctantly moved to Windows/PC very late (probably 1997 or 1998) long after Commodore was done for. The scene was clearly losing many people but there were still a few magazines in circulation and I was amazed every time I went in Germany to see much more life on the Amiga scene.

Nothing was ever the same after - the community of creators that had formed and thrived on the Amiga was unique, and while people moved on they did not find a proper alternative to reunite on.

It's always good to see such articles about the Amiga, but it's a bittersweet feeling.
Very interesting to read this. I am currently working as a UX designer, but notice I also have a very broad interest and knowledge in all parts of product development.

This resonates with me since I used to have a teacher come to my office twice a week for a one hour lesson.

I always found the actual learning experience quite difficult but, over time, our casual chats moved from nearly all english to nearly all spanish simply because I felt comfortable enough that if I got words wrong or had a mental block it didn't matter since she would sense what I was trying to say and help me along.

As you suggest, I found the stuff I had anxiety about at first was the stuff I learned and remembered most. The simple stuff I learned with not much effort is the stuff I need to keep revising.
Senior does not mean you type faster.

It means you don't do unnecessary work, you avoid pitfalls and traps you have seen before, you don't over-engineer but you keep it as simple as possible. It also means that you push back against non-constructive requests from business and management and focus your time and effort on what matters.

I also avoid anyone who wants me to do a coding exercise for a few hours over the weekend.

If you want pay me for that time, and make it not a dig and fill hole exercise - find a OSS project that needs some contributions. Decide that you and your team will do thsoe via your ongoing interview process that hires people before the need arises, so you can all take your time selecting and onboarding people.

I don't disagree with this — I was referring to the how does React do it part specifically.

It was popular in Western Europe especially, (UK, Germany and in a lesser fashion France), but as far as I remember it was rather "small" in the US despite Electronic Arts' support (Trip Hawkins was very positive about the Amiga).

It surprises me about the steep hills in Edinburgh. I would have thought that electric would be well suited to that.

You've got large amounts of torque from the electric motor to deal with the steep gradient going up and then you get regenerative braking coming down the other side.

Does anyone into anything out of passion not believe so?

I believed so as I enrolled into mathematics, physics and computer science studies, only to be very much disappointed with academia (more than I expected: I did not expect much, but what I've met was sadder than I could envision).
This is a fantastic achievement. About 8 years ago I'd an interesting conversation with a friend on how any material with arbitrary desired properties can be constructed using proteins. You can build something as hard as turtle's shell or as soft as jellyfish. You can build liquids that dissolves plastics or you can build the most flexible fibers known in the universe. One way to think about proteins is generalized parametrized materials. If you knew the inverse function of properties -> protein structure, it would change the world far beyond dollar value of the invention. The DNA mechanism is evolution's best effort yet to build exactly that. This was such a beautiful insight that I remember rushing to Amazon and getting few books to understand basics of protein folding. The subject has some extremely beautiful foundational simplicity that is easy to understand but it quickly gets complex enough that it would be hard to navigate without interdisciplinary mind melds. With this new progress, hope is that protein engineering through AI would get huge boost in community attention and more accelerated progress!

Going to sound corny but the things that made the most difference to my life...

* Getting a good nights sleep.

* Becoming "minimalist by divorce" in 2003.

* Finally understanding true wealth is having enough.

* Learning how to ram down expenses while maximizing my Real Hourly Wage.

* Going for a 40 minute walk every day.

* Realizing for me happiness is strongly correlated with level of personal freedom (not the fake freedom you hear about in the "land of the free"). Read "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World" by Harry Browne for more details.

* Learning to stop mulling on negative thoughts and either throwing them out forever or turning them into a positive action plan.

* Learning from "mistakes". For example, what I learned about money after going broke in 2006 resulted in financial freedom today.

* Traveling is like holding up a giant mirror on your lifestyle and beliefs. A fish in water doesn't notice water until it's yanked out of it.

* After being homeless I learnt to be more empathetic. People with no empathy have not yet suffered.

* Most people want love but don't give love freely first. If you want to be loved, love.

* Appreciate the little things. Until you can do this you will always be agitated.

* Understanding the Money Road is a dead end.

* I've driven a Cobra with a V12 Jag engine, a heavily customized Datsun 240Z, and a 1969 MGB GT, but the most fun I ever had was in my first car, a Singer Chamois, which I got for £30 from my Grandfather. Why? She was my first love and a temperamental bitch!

* If it's not fun and there are few other advantages to it, stop doing it!

I agree with you completely, the cargo cult thing is real.

To extend my point a bit further, my argument is that even if you treat science exactly the same as a religion - for all the points you mention and more - it is still fundamentally different to a faith based belief. That is, even if people treat it like religion it is fundamentally different to pretty much every other religion we have.

That doesn't hold completely. I think the two points I said differentiate science from faith still hold; ideas are fallible, and authorities are fallible. It does seem that some people to not treat them as such, the 'atheist televangelist' being a great example. So sometimes people and ideas are held up as 'correct by definition'.

I think, and perhaps this is tenuous, that even in these situations where people are playing out the cult of science we still have far better footing than the analogy with faith based beliefs would imply.

Science is trying to be correct. If a person or an idea is so popular that they persist in the face of evidence, eventually they will change. If nothing else, the person will die or the people who believe the idea will die, and the more correct ideas will win out. I'm a little more optimistic, and think people like Nye and Tyson will change their positions if they're shown to be wrong.

There is no underlying thing that you must believe to be true in order to believe in science, and if pressed I like to think anyone who believes something 'because science' will change their mind on pretty much anything if given enough evidence.

Unfortunately Science becomes a tool for so many things, and so people who believe things because politics, but hide behind a smokescreen of 'Science!' will maybe never change their minds. Tribalism is a really powerful thing, and we'll probably have to continue relearning that old lesson that the truth of a matter is not determined by if we feel it is true, nor that it is true because someone agrees with us.
It's even worse than it first sounds, because the good candidates get hired, but the candidates that get screened out by the fizzbuzz tests don't exit the scene - they move to the next company along to try again. So although the people in question are a minority as a proportion of the population, the amount of fraud you need to filter out in practice is high, and the people you most want to filter are continuously practicing getting past initial quick filtering steps.
It was the old Creative Commons v3 license. At that time, people thought, in addition to the "international version", it would be good idea to write many localized licenses for each country, so that people from each country can use the license in their native language and the legal experts can take special cares to make sure the license is completely valid under the copyright laws of a country, and the courts can understand it easily.

But people eventually decided that localized CC licenses were "considered harmful" - The biggest problem is that you can never be sure whether all the localized licenses are equivalent. It makes things very complicated when you want to create a derivative work of a project, even under the same conditions, if the work released under another localized version by the author. Also, it creates lots of ambiguity in a international community project. Finally, it was difficult to maintain, they need legal experts from all the countries if the license needs changes.

So localized CC licenses have been abolished when Creative Commons v4.0 was released, v4.0 only has the One True Version, the international version, it was made to be a perfectly valid license for all countries that signed Berne Convention, I believe.
