The organizers have been doubling down on the radical inclusion principle in recent years. Burning Man is just not the place for (probably) most people. Even the low-end turn-key camps and Burner Busses (well-meaning to reduce road congestion travelling to and from BM) can weaken the radical self-reliance principle.
Freakonomics has a chapter about the Romanian government being overthrown approximately 20 years after abortion was outlawed.
We've had great success with the bootstrap-native fork (same css, different vanilla javascript). It's super lightweight, fast and the css is just as customizable (since it's unchanged from normal bootstrap). I look forward to getting something similar in the mainline :)

Less dependencies is a wonderful thing but... why not take an approach where alternative tools (like the shadow DOM) are preferred for new features and refactorings, just slowly deprecate it out of existence.

It's always nice to have both feet securely on the ground as you shift your weight from one dependency to another.
Very cool! At least for me, so much of my reading is done on my mobile devices (e.g, iPhone, iPad) that not supporting those via an app is pretty much a deal killer for me. But if I could have one place to read PDF files, saved websites (e.g., like Pocket; btw, Pocket integration would seem to make a lot of sense for Polarized) where annotations/highlights are also stored in the cloud (say, in Dropbox), and I could access this on the go on a mobile device, I would certainly use your service.

IIRC, the valley-first alignment was part of the application for federal funds made when Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor, so it's unlikely it was motivated by concern for friends of the (at the time) once-and-future Governor Brown.
Awhile ago, for a different article, I wrote "Best article on HN ever." I take that back. That "award" goes to this article. Best article on HN ever. Makes me want to study Holography. Absolutely fascinating!
Summary: have one company graph, implemented as federated implementations from different teams, with a registry for tracking the (iteratively evolving) schema. Use per-client access permissions and structured logging, incrementally improving performance as usage grows. Data graph functionality should be a separate tier rather than baked into every service.
I rather strongly disagree. Connecting the smaller metro areas to the bigger metro areas opens up a lot of opportunities for both ends. The smaller metro areas become more accessible and thus amenable to growth. The larger metro areas get to relieve the pressure on housing costs as people can move to more affordable areas (thus paving the way for them to in turn grow even further).

A statewide high-speed rail system is ultimately going to be a hard dependency on California continuing to grow and prosper for another century in the same way it has for the previous century. The approach to doing that needs a major rework, of course, but such a rail system is in the best interests of the state as a whole.
I think many people aren't aware of the comm ecosystems such as ZigBee which let you build very low cost devices that don't need to have Linux, an internet stack, CPU with MMU, etc.

They might call it "the internet of things" but often other protocols are involved.
Change "micro-service" to "library" and you have a technology that scales equally well without introducing the additional failure modes and complexities of micro-services. That's how pretty much all open source software works. Open source software consists of thousands of libraries that people reuse for all kinds of purposes.
While you more than enough defend working memory and memorization capacity, I figured I'd chime in with additional supporting documentation. Cognitive load theory models short time memory as scarce and finite in nature. With each "number", you have less freely available working memory to use AND maintaining those values places their own stress.

Current theories about long term memory (or "memorization capacity") consider it infinite in capacity.
FluidApp or other site specific browsers is an even better solution in the vein of your recommendation.
I sometimes imagine going back to explain to myself as a teenager what I do for a job now. When you were young, what did you want to do? We are still accountable to that person we were. As a teenager, did you want a corporate job and a gym membership? I wanted to be the guy in a massively successful band behind a mountain of synths and sound equipment. In the end I design studio equipment for a living instead and play in bands in the evenings. I can live with myself.
Wow, thanks for sharing. I've never seen a real photo of a black hole before.

Considering that some Forth implementations were custom hardware that directly implemented the language semantics, it was often quite fast, yes. Most of the bigger Forth systems (gForth, WinForth, BigForth) have some form of threading/task management. The smaller ones, which are often the ones expecting to run natively on microcontrollers with no operating system, expect you to write your own if you need it.

Indeed it's polymorphic overloads ( over 10 on the $() method! ) were commendated in The book 'modular JavaScript' i'm reading right now.

Nobody performs lobotomies anymore — haven’t since the ‘70s. You’re thinking of corpus callostomies, which sever hemispherical connections in order to limit the spread of epileptic signals. While they prompt fascinating questions regarding neurological integration of the self, they don’t cause the cognitive, emotional, or behavioral changes lobotomies do.
This is cool, but the end result is you are basically using WordPress as a document store. Because you need to implement an entirely custom frontend, you lose various wordpress templating abilities. Granted, that might be a worthwhile tradeoff.
What's the use here? If you want to get anything done you'd have to exit the enclave to do syscalls, at which point antivirus can detect what you're doing. I guess you can use it to obfuscate code flow and C2 communications but you already do that with obfuscators, which doesn't require a signing certificate from intel
So what is the actual cost of this smaller section? $77B is for the entire plan and only half was even allocated.

It seems this is a move to just spend the federal grant money instead of sending it back, although on a rather wasteful construction project that will accomplish nothing and will probably be used to show how bad trains are for any future projects.
Expansion of contract employees as well I'm sure. Which is pretty common in the gaming industry as far as I can tell.

MSP-430 is not an OS, it is a microcontroller, so your comment makes absolutely no sense. Ironically one of the most popular open source MSP-430 OSes is FreeRTOS.. which of course has vTaskDelay.

Like name an OS (RTOS or otherwise) that does not have an API to sleep for millisecond periods? Not saying none exist, but, it's probably easier to name the exceptions.
Well given the choice, and with 35+ years of software experience trying both, I'd rather re-write a monolith (by implementing 50 libraries) in a heartbeat.
It looks like the most promising idea for sequestering CO2 (rather than C) is injecting it into basalt formations, where it turns into minerals in a year or so. So far it's been tested in Iceland and Washington State, with promising results. Basalt is widespread so this could be very scalable. But it does use a lot of water; I don't know whether salt water would work.

I wonder what I'd have thought if I'd seen the NeXT browser at the time. I must have been one of the first few thousand WWW users, when I think it was largely providing access to the cernlib docs. At the time, I was working on fairly advanced networked hypermedia (with NeWS). Using line mode browser -- via X.25 then, I guess -- I thought "how primitive", and "haven't they heard of Xanadu?". So much for the important feature, the protocol/naming... I don't remember the reaction to Viola subsequently, but I think I found it before the Mosaic set-back.

When I was in college a few years ago, one professor included this thing[1] in his (shell, spit and duct tape) auto-grading system. It works by generating an AST of the input and comparing it against a bank, e.g. other submissions from the same class or prior years' classes. Apparently, it worked pretty well for flagging potentially problematic portions for manual review.

In a well-designed implementation of an auto-grading pipeline, I doubt that plagiarism is much more of a problem than in a purely manual grading scheme.

Uh, at least in terms of react a bit of quick googling saw people who were putting effort into optimizing react's client side size getting it down to ~40 - 90 kB, so it seems pretty comparable. Some of these folks had a 1.2 MB script bundle they were sending to the client to begin with.

I'm not in the trenches with this stuff though so my numbers may be wrong but... the ~500% number seems pretty off.

> People buy houses because they count on inflation to raise the nominal value of the leveraged asset far more than the interest they pay, and usually in the long term that works out and they pay less than they would renting (not always, and renting has upsides too of course).

The problem of course being that for this to be true, housing price inflation has to be greater than general inflation, which implies that nominal housing prices increase faster than nominal wages.

Which is what has happened, but that isn't sustainable, and the math is pretty harsh.

If housing prices increase by a given percentage at the same time as they increase as a percentage of wages from 30% to 45%, then for them to increase by the same percentage during a period of time with the same level of wage growth, they would have to increase from 45% to more than two thirds of wages, which is implausible. To increase by that percentage again would leave them at more than 100% of wages, which obviously can't happen.

So the trend of housing price appreciation above general inflation is inherently temporary. It has to end eventually, if it hasn't already. Note that current housing prices were never really allowed to crash in 2008 and continue to be artificially propped up by low interest rates. So we may be preventing them from falling presently, but that doesn't mean they've got a lot of room to grow any further.

But people who already own property may want them to, or be expecting them to. Those people are likely mistaken.
This was the predicted outcome when this project was first announced and financed. People at the time criticized the Cassandras saying they lacked faith in the California government's ability to execute a complex long term project like this on budget.

The Cassandras were right.

Anyone who has worked with the government in Sacramento knew it was going to be a boondoggle where unions, politicians, and connected private contractors would get paid, and the public would get screwed. But the California electorate and its money are quickly parted.

If you are frustrated by the amount of looting of the public purse that you see in this state, you should move. There is no mechanism through which it will stop short of state bankruptcy. The tax base is so large and diverse that the money faucet will keep pouring lucre into filthy pockets until the unfunded pension liabilities destroy the public finances (should be around 2035).

For me, eInk readers, and especially smartphones, boosted the amounts I've read (which were substantial to begin with).

For eInk, it was mostly because I could take it to more places, stuffed with many books. When you can get through a book in 2-3 days, a 2-week vacation needs quite a few!

But smartphones were the real gift. Now I have all my books right there in my pocket whenever I go, so in any situation where I have to wait (lines etc), I can just whip it up and continue reading. Even if it's 10-15 minutes at a time, it all adds up. This doesn't work well for technical books because of interruptions, but it's perfect for fiction.

Another nice things about phones for reading is OLED screens. Because they're "perfectly black", I find it to be the best low-light reader for night reading in the dark, before sleep.
The main argument I have against "One Graph", is that it's not that uncommon to have two (or more) quite distinct views of the world.

At my last job, we were building a social shopping app. Behind the scenes, products were versioned so that we could deal with disputes related to attempts to defraud customers. This (along with several other things) meant that the logical internal abstraction of the data model for things like dispute dashboards was considerably more complicated compared to an abstraction that made sense for the clients (apps and website).

If we only had one graph, all the clients developers would have to develop around a data model that was far more unwieldy than they needed. But with two graphs, the world was a lot simpler (at the cost of having to maintain two graphs).
A grayscale design with a light gray button somewhere among other light gray buttons has zero emphasis whatsoever.

A grayscale design with a highly-saturated orange button that is technically the same lightness as the other light gray buttons will stand out immensely and the eye will be immediately drawn to it.

Likewise, a light orange button against a dark blue contrast creates a far stronger separation than a light gray button against a dark gray background, even though the "lightnesses" are still the same.

So I really don't understand how you're trying to argue that color doesn't matter.
> How come nobody has reverse engineered the iMessage protocol properly?

People have, but changes have been made where the barrier to entry on the crypto/client verification side is sufficiently high a barrier to make it not practical. See next answer for more context.

> Is Apple using any hardware stuff to prevent this?

Yes.

> I think an unofficial iMessage client appeared a few years ago, but it was very closed source and I don't think it worked for very long

The iMessage team scrambled on its release to block it as it leveraged a severe security breach.
> If you go back and read the original text and fiscal impact estimate of proposition 1a, it was supposed to cost around $10 billion dollars to build, and was expected to cost the state around $20 billion after accounting for interest and bond fees.

No, it wasn't. The $9.95 billion was the state direct costs (before bond fees, interest, etc.) for HSR ($9B) and the associated other transit improvements ($0.95B), with the remainder of the system costs envisioned coming from federal and other sources. High (though hostile) estimates at the time of the total system cost, referenced in the opposing ballot argument, actually exceeded the most recent $77B estimate @ $90B.

You are referring to undefined terms to define undefined terms: "common good" is not something obvious in this particular situation. Food is poor example here because toxicity is more, or less the common denominator here, while safety of a smartphone has a very different value for someone whose life is immersed in digital services, and whose income allows to see a +/-50 dollars as a small variation, and one who uses only whatsapp, and weather service, and needs to save every penny. In fact majority of Android phones in the world right now are somewhat vulnerable, and it doesn't seem that people who use all these cheap stuff are eager for change. You already can be safer if you it's your priority by using more expensive brands (Apple, Samsung) which offer longer-term updates.

Is there anything stopping doctors from prescribing or administering ordinary ketamine off-label? I don't think the controlled substance issues would differ between the two.

If the answer is "no, but the marginal differences between ordinary ketamine and the new drug are enough that you'd want to prescribe the new drug instead"--well, that's new value added, isn't it?

Yeah, but you had to get a Royal charter to create a limited liability company in those days. New York passed the first modern legislation allowing individuals to create LLCs/PLCs; the UK followed suit some decades later.
The hard part is getting someone to fund the studies to prove safety and effectiveness for the off-patent version. I don't have a solution for that problem but that's why the FDA didn't approve regular ketamine: no company would be able to recoup the costs to get it approved.
Oh yeah, I used to live there and am well acquainted with the NIMBY craziness. I was approaching it more from the other side, which is that you need every weapon you can possibly get that will help twist their arms.
They could build a train in central Nevada too. That’s “easy” — doesn’t mean it actually useful. I’d be happy with a Maglev replacing Caltrain to get from Mountain View to SFO in 5 minutes. More people could use that than a train to Bakersfield.
Having the bay area terminus in the east bay was always a better idea than getting to San Francisco. Connect to BART in San Leandro, or for extra credit, get to the port of Oakland before connecting to BART. Going up the peninsula seemed like a vanity effort.
It's even more confusing: R-ketamine is the more effective enantiomer, with less dissociative effects.
Looking back though, they might have made the right choice. So many respected PC gaming shops either closed or were consumed, chewed up and spit out. To name a few off the top of my head: Westwood Studios, Black Isle Studios, Looking Glass Studios, Rare. Making games is just excruciatingly hard and really tough to make into a consistent business model. Blizzard positioned themselves pretty well all things considered, but one can't help thinking the quality of their games might be at another level if they stayed away from Activision. But on the other hand Activision might have kept them alive. Let's not forget Blizzard put a lot of time into some big IPs that never even saw the light of day (Starcraft: Ghost and Titan).

I live close to LA but if I have to drive to Bakersfield for the train I may just as well keep driving. This makes no sense and I bet in typical US fashion they will stop there and people will say that public transit doesn't work.
