I think you may be missing the point here. It's not don't think about whether you should or should not and plan as much as you can accordingly – your ambitions. I think it's actually don't expect you can know how you will feel – your aspirations. And more importantly don't deterministically tell yourself how you should feel about what you aspire to become.

Allowing your aspirations to more flexibly become whatever the situation requires is important. As described in the finish with respect to the time between we aspire to do something and work toward those aspirations:

I once saw a presentation that used a Python shell. The guy typed _super_ fast and didn't make any mistakes. It was pretty impressive.

But then afterwards he told us that he had written a tool that typed out something prewritten as he mashed the keyboard.
I've enjoyed a lot of emacs presentations on YouTube where they're doing it all live and talking through it. Often it teaches me something new and makes me want to use emacs more. (I still mostly use vim)
How much notice they get is often related to their fulfillment of the social contract, or literal implied work contract. Changing the terms after the fact, abrogates the agreement.
> She dislikes having her picture taken and hates having it shared; it removes her right to represent herself.

I sympathize with the mother.

Every time one of my children has been born, I've had conversations with the "usual suspects" about not posting pictures on social media when they come visit us in the hospital.

They haven't always complied with my request.
Believe it or not, it is possible to build more homes near employment centers. We don't do it precisely because homeowners bitch and moan about, you guessed it, traffic and parking. So once again cars are the problem.
There's a spectrum to "nudges". Some government nudging is actually morally justifiable, IMO. Things like making retirement saving opt-out instead of opt-in, or hiding information about a probable disaster to avoid panic[0]. Placebo buttons I find somewhere between justifiable cost saving (if buttons were working in the past, or could in the future) and being disrespectful to people. But in this case, and in almost all cases, you can avoid lying to people.

Beyond that, I strongly agree with your sentiment, and I frequently point out that if you were to apply standard marketing practice to your friends, you'd quickly get punched in the face - and justifiably so. To me, lying needs heavy justification - on the level of saving lives.

I like this quote: "Promoting less than maximally accurate beliefs is an act of sabotage. Don't do it to anyone unless you'd also slash their tires." [1]

[0] - E.g. evacuating a city of million+ will necessarily cause a lot of deaths and heavily disrupt regional economy, leading to further deaths and suffering. Therefore, it's IMO justified for the government to avoid triggering evacuations if the risk is low, even if that means sitting on some information.

It's a combination of that and focusing on recommending videos in depth on whatever topic it thinks you're most interested in. I don't want to watch fifty videos about swords. Three is plenty for now. I want to watch a bunch of different videos and shallowly explore a lot of topics, and the YT recommendation system is extraordinarily incompetent at facilitating this exploration mode.
From what I understand, the most common string instrument problems are with shoulders/neck/back, due to sitting for long periods of time with poor posture.

Most music should be playable without excessive risk of serious injury to arms / wrists / hands, but from what I understand very high notes on e.g. the violin are hard to play without using an over-flexed wrist, which is definitely a problem if playing music requiring such a position for long stretches of time, or many rapid switches between high and low notes.

Some of the string players with most risk are novices who have not been taught proper technique.

For professional PC game players, the design of the standard computer keyboard and furniture is absolutely terrible from an RSI perspective (worse than any common musical instrument, and without any of the design requirements of acoustic instruments as an excuse), and it is shocking to me that there has not been more effort to get more ergonomic equipment into players’ hands. The way game players typically use a computer keyboard is generally more dangerous than the way typists or e.g. programmers do. As someone who spent a few years thinking about computer keyboard design, I can think of at least a dozen straight-forward and fairly obvious changes that could be made to a standard computer keyboard to make it more efficient and less risky for game players. There is a lot of low-hanging fruit here.

Whether or not the equipment is changed, the most important single thing when using a computer keyboard (or any hand tool for that matter) is to avoid more than slight wrist flexion or extension, especially while doing work with the fingers. Excessive pronation and ulnar deviation of the wrist are also quite bad. Watching pro players, many of them have their wrists in an extremely awkward position while doing fast repetitive finger motions for hours per day without breaks, which is a guaranteed recipe for RSI.
Fun fact in terms of the binary: by default OCaml uses static linking for pretty much everything except your libc, so unless something in the stack is doing something weird wrt linking that binary should contain all the dependencies.

"don't the flat earther think"

Sure... some. But that's not the reason it's promoted. Paradoxically, many "fall for" it's real utility my merely lumping it in with whatever they want to discredit; disinformation is rather effective when it attaches obvious bs to other things.
I thought about including the answer that doesn't require branching, but didn't, because it sounded too fucking clever even just proofreading it. The N(N+1)/2 and summation is the answer they probably expect. Gimmicky XOR tricks set you slightly ahead of the pack. Magical bit-twiddling answers and branch elimination make you look pretentious, unless you're literally Carmack.

My point was that solving the problem as posed does not solve the problem inherent in posing the problem. Finding the one missing number in an array of otherwise consecutive numbers means that you were already storing N-1 numbers instead of the one number you wanted. If you stored the missing number instead, it's trivial to construct an array from 1 to N that skips over it. Save space, save time.

And if the profiler says that this problem is on a critical path in an inner loop, optimizing the heck out of it still won't help as much as unmaking the problem entirely, pulling all the cumbersome calculations out into less-used code. If the profiler says that it barely ever gets hit, then there should be zero algorithmic tricks, and the code should be optimized for human readability instead.

As an interview question, it might as well be a cryptic crossword clue, because the solutions that would be put in place by perfectly good developers are not the ones in the back of the textbook.
It is a de facto standard, ever heard of those?

The app is better than the website in other ways so I'm reluctant to do that. I actually called YouTube and talked to somebody about this. Whether or not that makes a difference, who knows?
Borrowing handicap permit is already illegal, and AFAIR carries pretty hefty fine. Of course, enforcing it is hard - would you demand a spot physical endurance exam from everybody parking in a handicapped place? How would you even know? I used the temporary handicapped placard once for a while, when I broke my leg. When recovering, on some days, I could walk for a bit. On others, I could only walk with crutches and for a short distance. But maybe I was just faking, who knows? And of course I didn't carry my medical records with me everywhere I went. So how would you know if I'm legitimately hurt or just borrowed the placard?

If you are reluctant to harass legitimately disabled people, some amount of abuse would slip in. I think unless the abuse is so rampant that legitimate users get denied access (e.g. so many fakers are parking in handicap spots that the real ones have no spot) ignoring most of it as the inevitable price of not making lives of legitimately affected people yet harder is the right way to go.
> and so is having grass and trees with kids and dogs playing. but there's no need to pit them against each other.

If urban cores were allowed to be built high and dense, to accommodate all those people who prefer to live in dense urban areas, then the grass and trees and backyards of the suburbs would also fit closer to the urban core. Shorter distances even from the suburbs to the core.
Oh, some things never change. Others change all the time... And there are a few that absolutely never changed, but as soon as you automate them, they will change.

If it was easy, developers wouldn't be well paid.
The goal of most "anti-car" (most aren't really anti-car, just anti-cars in the city) people is not just to create pedestrian zones, but also to change land-use patterns so that it doesn't feel as necessary to drive everywhere.

This is absolutely implementation-specific. American cities tried similar transit/pedestrian malls but failed. It is my belief that with good governance and infrastructure, cities can adapt to a car-free lifestyle, even in places with extreme winter.

For example, in snowy and hilly Montreal an entire underground shopping mall exists, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_City,_Montreal) allowing for transit commuters to walk around (or rather, under) the city center comfortably even in the dead of winter. Even if those commuters took their cars into the office that day, they still benefit from this infrastructure, because it potentially reduces the need for additional car trips (if you're just grabbing a quick bite to eat or a few groceries).
History of Computing: Discovering Interactivity
It depends. Usually the code evolves in a live coding session and a lot of code is deleted or changed to show intermediate steps to make a point. Just seeing the finished product isn't the same thing.

I think a great deal of the actual "typing time" isn't necessary, but showing the intermediate steps usually is. I think the authors show it just as a means of avoiding the very time consuming process of editing a video. So there's some give and take. They save a considerable amount of their time that would have been an incredibly boring and time consuming process, and you loose a little bit of your time but get to watch a video that wouldn't have been made otherwise.

'I wish the cost of gasoline was high enough .... Like really high.'

My dad asked recently: 'I don't know how most people can afford to run cars?'

I said: 'I'll let you into a secret, they can't.'

You'll be surprised how high that cost has to be in order to force a lot of people out of their cars.
You really really really don't want to do this if you can avoid it.

It's not because there is magic here, it's because the set of rules, regulations, and interpretations to follow is voluminous.

The document you want is called the MPEP.
https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/index.html

This covers the rules/regulations/interpretations/etc that they will expect you to know/follow, and examiners to know/follow. In that sense, it literally does cover everything you'd need to know to do this right, and how the examiner/etc will look at your patent application, etc. It's even understandable by normal human beings and goes to great lengths to explain its reasoning and the case law that supports their views.

However, it's also thousands of pages.

Now, it's definitely possible and in my experience, examiners are fairly nice to pro-se applicants and try to be helpful.

But this would really be a thing you'd want to have to spend a significant amount of time doing.
For the vast majority of people, it's much more effective to hire someone who will charge a fixed fee.

(for a single person filing a patent for the firs time, you'd qualify as a micro-entity, so most of your fees would be the lawyer/agent for sure)

But, if you decide to do it, that's the document you want.

(And just as a disclaimer: i don't make a living patenting stuff and think patents in general hurt a lot more than they help. So i'm really not the type to tell you to go spend money on a patent lawyer if i can avoid it)

Though, one more thing I'd tax is noise from music bumpers. Those people drive me up the f-ing wall. I challenge anyone to think about how much damn awful music pollution is. Then come back in a year, after seriously considering it - if you've become the crazy old guy at the end of the street waving his cane (like me), then you know it's a problem.

> if that's actually the case, how about put a small sign by the button? but is it really that hard to remove or disable the button?

These days, I think it would suffice for the local/national (depending on the scope) government to announce that pedestrian lights buttons are no longer working because $reasons. Rebroadcasted by media, it would reach many people, and anyone else would know where to look for answer, if they become interested in the question.

In many cases (including, I would argue, the current American political system), the people who wrote 16.7.1 are merely technicians without any coherent vision for long term purposes or principles. Why do we still talk about the Unix philosophy?

I moved from Snap Diego to Amsterdam last year and loved giving up cars. We don't own or use cars anymore. I've got three kids. They bike to school, to piano lessons, etc. If it is raining, I give them rain pants. They love the freedom, I love the freedom from schlepping. I commute to work by bike then train then bike and back again. It is beautiful -- and no more traffic. I get exercise built into my day. Sucks about the rain pants.

My problem with America: low expectations. No one thinks the vision is possible. Too bad, so sad.
Of course, ICE powertrains have lots of moving parts, but the comparison that EV cars are simple is just not an accurate representation of EV cars.

There are fewer moving parts, I agree. The architecture itself is simpler too, I agree. But the individual components are still massively complex and expensive. High density Lithion-ion is very complex, and also requires a number of supplementary systems to manage power, heat, cooling and monitor the array.
Was the gist of this the lack of MFA/2FA on DNS admin authentication and their admin accounts getting popped through brute force or phishing? The articles I have read seem to hype this up as a sophisticated attack. From what I can see, it was a targeted account take-over.
If I were allowed to buy the parking spots on my street and build flats I would do it in an instant. Drivers get parking welfare from walking and cycling taxpayers and are blind to it. Not to mention that bearing the cost of a million dead poeple a year would affect behaviour a bit.

> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Frankly, I enjoy this "topic"; people post interesting things that I would have never otherwise learned about. Particularly Wikipedia articles; for example, I learned about Pando[1], one of the largest organisms on Earth: it is an Aspen grove occupying 106 acres, but it's still a single thing. To me, that was mind blowing the first time I read it; I wouldn't have ever recognized such a thing even if I were there in person.

Of course. The problem is externalities. If the people enjoying their energy-dense personal transportation aren't incurring the full costs of that transportation, then 1) there will be probably way more of it than there would be in a market with costs internalized and 2) the people who don't use it have a good reason to be upset.

I suspect you are right. Its not easy quiting face to face, much easier not showing up. I wonder though. If the company or people you know there would report you missing...

I've quit two jobs with notice. I'm a little bit conflict averse, and had a hard time doing it. Like many things its not easy to tell your boss you are leaving, especially if they job wasn't particularly bad and your boss is decent. For one I was going back to school, thats easier.

I've noticed no improvement, especially now with the viaduct closed which appears to be a permanent decline for people coming in from the southwest and west Seattle.
Um... have you not noticed that a large portion of those providing medical care in the NHS are those same immigrants? Immigrants by and large are equal parts of the solution to problems. If you remove them all, you will quickly realise that most of the problems still remain caused by those who will continue to be ungrateful and just blame something and someone else for their problems.

Anti-automobile policies need to be careful to accommodate the disabled but it's unfair to label them as "exclusionary" compared to the racist and classist history of automobile adoption and
according public infrastructure support. From Robert Caro's biography of Robert Moses, America's most influential and prolific public planner and builder, The Power Broker:

“Underlying Moses' strikingly strict policing for cleanliness in his parks was, Frances Perkins realized with "shock," deep distaste for the public that was using them. "He doesn't love the people," she was to say. "It used to shock me because he was doing all these things for the welfare of the people. . . . He'd denounce the common people terribly. To him they were lousy, dirty people, throwing bottles all over Jones Beach. 'I'll get them! I'll teach them!'... [...]

Now he began taking measures to limit use of his parks. He had restricted the use of state parks by poor and lower-middle-class families in the first place, by limiting access to the parks by rapid transit; he had vetoed the Long Island Rail Road's proposed construction of a branch spur to Jones Beach for this reason.

Now he began to limit access by buses; he instructed Shapiro to build the bridges across his new parkways low—too low for buses to pass. Bus trips therefore had to be made on local roads, making the trips discouragingly long and arduous.

For Negroes, whom he considered inherently "dirty," there were further measures. Buses needed permits to enter state parks; buses chartered by Negro groups found it very difficult to obtain permits, particularly to Moses' beloved Jones Beach; most were shunted to parks many miles further out on Long Island. And even in these parks, buses carrying Negro groups were shunted to the furthest reaches of the parking areas.”

Also detailed in this book is destruction of poor and minority neighborhoods and communities by the common policy of appropriating their land for roads and highways. The lasting effects of these practices is plainly obvious in so many US cities and will not go away without active efforts to reverse the damage. In comparison, disabled-friendly infrastructure is frankly more easily solved.
