The repeatable problem suggests a lapse in the current layout. The fact that a new crash happened within two weeks suggests that replacing the attenuator should have happened faster than that.

That being said, I'm only pointing out that in this case there can be extra variables to account other than the car manufacturer and the driver, the same way that when people speeding, running stop signs and pedestrians not paying attention when crossing an intersection can all result in a collision there is always also a bit of missing urban planning that could have helped avoid the situation in the first place. I believe the same would be true of this case.
There is actually a new app, just out of beta testing, called Fluent Forever that uses strategically spaced repetition like anki, but flashcard creation is way faster, plus there's audio built in. The problem with Duolingo, Babel, etc. is that they are forcing you to use English in your study of the foreign language. It's much closer to immersion to link pictures to the written and audio vocab you are trying to learn. This obviously gets trickier the less concrete your words are as you advance, but for way more info on this topic https://blog.fluent-forever.com/what-makes-fluent-forever-di... or, better yet, read the book Fluent Forever. The fluent forever method is to learn the sound needed (phonemes), then basic vocab (600-1000 words), then start building sentences to get at the trickier material.
You're phrasing this as if Epic is going around making all these poor developers do their bidding - the developer is agreeing to list their game as an exclusive.

Be mad at the dev for making the choice to host only on Epic Store if you're upset about it - they're aware of the consequences and could have easily gone with Steam instead.
It does solve the problems by getting rid of these websites. No ads or tracking means that the site isn't going to be making much money. Contextual ads will only ever work for a small amount of companies, because it takes too much effort for a company to approach hundreds of websites to work out deals about it.
Pixel 2 XL, since I also had to stop using a Nexus 7 at the same time and I didn't want to have to deal with not having a large screen to read on. It's been good so far. I haven't had any issues with the lack of a headphone jack, mostly because that jack was also the one part of the Nexus 5 that'd also failed so I was already on bluetooth-only. I upgraded about eight months after the release so they'd hammered out the QC issues on the screen. I see some black smears when I'm scrolling over pictures with black backgrounds on dark themes with the brightness all the way down in a dark room, but that's not something I'd call an issue. The real problem is actually the curved screen, which is sensitive to touch all the way out to the bezel a millimeter or two around the side of the phone, so I get a few misclicks a month when my palm hits the side of the screen while I'm trying to type. I get about two days of battery out of it despite heavy use while I'm on the subway to and from work. It does not feel a sturdy as my Nexus 5, and the screen is not as nice to read on as the Nexus 7 was; the aspect ratio is far too tall. It's definitely better than my old Droid Incredible, though I still miss the physical keyboard. I don't know if it'll be as good as the Nexus 5. It's so far only a sixth as old.
I’ve met some mothers that place huge value on status signals based on school that their kids attended. I don’t understand it in the least, but I know it definitely exists. It doesn’t matter at all how the school ranks objectively, it’s entirely related to the status among the specific individuals that the mother wants to impress. Often, it’s other mothers whose kids went there.

Fathers might do this too, but I haven’t personally seen it. If I had to guess, the fathers that care about status are probably more likely to “one-up” than “keep-up”. Same insecurities, just manifested differently.

It’s really ridiculous and petty behavior on the adults part, at the expense of the child’s best interests.
Because no one in those areas can buy their own house.

I'm supporting the point pathseeker was arguing against.
As a tour de force of how to demonstrate causal knowledge, this really is amazing and underappreciated.
How so?

It costs thousands to buy a house

It costs thousands to sell a house

It costs thousands to maintain a house (I once spent, over $10,000 in one month on repairs)

It costs thousands in property tax and insurance

You pay thousands in interest and maybe PMI.

If the asset doesn't appreciate faster than inflation, where's the wealth building coming from? Sure, I'm not paying rent, but, honestly, it ends up being mostly a wash once you factor in all the expenses I am paying.

I bought a house because I wanted to own a house, not because i thought it would build wealth.

That is not what happened. What happened is that Stalin ordered to kill them. It was paranoia on top of other things (breaking the nation was not ment just as a side effect). They reorganized the society very quickly once they could start organizing people into agricultural communes (JZD in Czech) and steal everything (literally) from them in the process. Of course we know how well it worked.
Has Tesla actually asserted that LIDAR is “useless”? I know Musk has argued that LIDAR is not necessary, but “not necessary” and “useless” are very different things.

Markdown Literary programming that doesn't break the syntax of any programming language.

Literary Programming, Programming was the first, Literary was the second.

the main purpose of the Code comment area markup method is to live Preview directly in the Code Editor Preview panel without exporting or any preprocessing.

Just add a line comment character of the programming language before each line of Markdown.

In the comments of code, you can draw flowcharts, tasklist, display data visualizations, etc.

The method is to add extension instructions in any programming language comment area:

markdown

manual eval code, live eval code, print result, display data visualization and other directives
When previewing or converting a format, you only need to simply preprocess: delete line comment characters with regular expressions, example: sed 's/^;//' x.clj

Note:

line comment character of Clojure(Lisp) is ;

line comment characters of the current file type can be obtained from the editor's API.

when we edit the code, we can preview the effect in real time. Editing literary code has a live preview panel like most markdown editors.

Advantages

fast, live, simple, no interference.

It don't break the syntax of any programming language, you can compile directly. comment area markup method can be applied to any programming language and any markup (including Org,rst, asciidoc, etc.), which is the greatest advantage.

you only need a single line code to delete line comment characters using regular expressions, then you can use any Markdown parse or converter.

Support any code editor that supports Markdwon Live preview, allowing the source code of any programming language to become rich text in real time. In the code's comment area, You can use the markdown to draw flowcharts, tables, task lists, and display images on the live preview panel, enhance the readability of your code.

If you extend the Markdwon tag, you can implement the eval code, print result, display data visualization and other instruction tags, to achieve live programming, live test.

When writing (reading or refactoring) code files, It can modify and live preview directly in the editor without exporting or any preprocessing.

Reliable. Maximum code accuracy is guaranteed, and markup language errors do not affect the code.

It hasn't interfere anyone to read the code. Markdown is simple, so if it doesn’t have syntax highlighting, it doesn’t have much effect on writing and reading. And having a gray comment area doesn’t affect reading code, especially for people who don’t understand the markup language. Strict distinction between markdown and code, and gray comment area can reduce the amount of information in the source code file, conducive to reading code.

Emigrating to lower-tax countries is not illegal. So it's not tax evasion, correct? Anything I do that is legal cannot be tax evasion?

How is helix these days? The idea of calling out to Rust was super compelling when I first read about helix. Is that problem still being tackled?
If I were to write an exploratory survey blog post of Next-Paradigm languages I would cover problems that are to be solved and ways to represent those problems.

That there are many alternative forms of computation, and that the inability to represent that form of computation in the host language leads to complexity and code bloat.

* constraint programming, logical, spatial, temporal
* lazy evaluation
* back tracking, memoization
* reversible
* succinct
* differentiable
* anytime
* incremental
* probabilistic
* lattice/crdt
* quantum
* sketching
* programming by example
* transactional
* failure tolerant

Now how programs that embody those techniques are represented, I don't know what those languages are like, the semantics or the syntax.

There's something I think could be game-changing on the front-end of programming languages:

Just (as in 'only') change the (internal) representation of source code from character sequences to something that doesn't need a complex parsing process. In other words, eliminating the concept of syntax from language design, while keeping other language properties intact (could even use e.g. an LLVM back-end), allowing whoever desires it to write their own editors etc. as always.

(This is different from eliminating text: IMO, the visualization should remain primarily text. I say to eliminate syntax in the sense that the text 'visualization' no longer has a connection with semantics, nor any grammatical constraints.)

The reason I say 'just' change that: there are other systems structured to render AST-like structures (rather than parsing), but they are integrated with particular software systems. We need a general purpose alternate format with a similar independence of any project that 'character sequences' have for current source code.

------

I have a proposal for one that's very simple and general: represent languages as graphs of language constructs, and represent particular programs as paths through a language graph. More details at [1].

Making this substitution we can: throw out parsing, allow easy customization of language appearance (including things that would traditionally fall under 'syntax'), have much easier access to language insight (source representation is directly in terms of a language definition), give far easier to access to experimenting with language UX ideas, and more.

I'd love to hear thoughtful feedback on this. I will likely invest a solid amount of time/effort into building a prototype before long, so if someone can spot a potential weakness that I've missed, I'd be forever grateful.

(That said, please attempt at least a small amount of charity in reading: I wrote this in 2015 and most all I've gotten is people replying, "visual programming doesn't work" —even though it's expressly not advocating visual programming. I believe I really am talking about something fairly new here: and I am more than willing to listen if I'm mistaken. I have too many projects already; I have no need for this to work out. I just haven't been able to disprove it as... not being what it appears to be, and so I've felt an obligation to see it through for a long time.)

3. They need developers. Everyone was hiring like mad in those days, still are. They don't want to lose a big pile of good developers.
Long-term leases and LVT seem among the better solutions.

It's the assetification of an essential economic input that seems to be the root of the problem. Bernhard J. Stern commented on this in the 1930s in several works I've submitted (to no traction) in recent weeks.

As cageface notes - it's not that we can't "just use Lisp" - it's that the metaprogramming leverage added by those systems isn't the form of leverage that helps with shipping. You can achieve "good-enough" metaprogramming with an external code generator and customized checks in the build process. The lasting power of the C preprocessor and its crude lexical macros is a testament to how far you get with this "worse is better" level expressiveness.

What production teams focus on instead tends to be the meat and potatoes aspects of libraries, documentation, build time, and debug time. A new user of Rust who writes C-like code can still benefit; they'll have to learn some things while fighting the borrow checker, and they may not have exactly the libraries they need(which can often be the showstopper) but their debug time will go down and their builds are likely to get simpler, if not faster.

It is true that we could use more syntax that explicitly deals with concurrency, but that's also the thing that we have little agreement on.
Personally I do not think that housing should be considered an investment in general. The purpose of a house to live is not to increase its speculated value.

You can tax the shit out of people if you provide something in return. Millionaires don't flee the Netherlands or Sweden.
If anyone else has a problem with a loose charging connector on T500... It looks like the T500 DC-in jack isn't mounted on a PCB, but is on a cable with a connector, and the jack is held in place wrt the chassis partly with a screw. So it might've just been the whole jack part wiggling within the chassis, and just needed a little tightening. Or just needed an $8 eBay part swapped in without soldering. Those old ThinkPad models had "Hardware Maintenance Manuals" ("HMM") PDFs that IBM/Lenovo freely shared, with step-by-step instructions for disassembly and reassembly. (Though I understand sending a new unit back, and also not wanting to possibly void warranty.)
At a high level, what makes tax evasion wrong is when people are able to benefit from the commons — stable currency, weights and measures, a climate of rule of law and the commensurate security of property — without paying into it. People who have successful businesses and are worth millions of dollars would be robbed and cheated every single day if it were not for the vast array of institutions — expensive institutions — that facilitate the climate of trust and security characteristic of developed countries today.

That’s measuring the quality of applicants, not the quality of the school. The subjects you are measuring the school by haven’t even spent their first day in class. A little premature to judge the quality of a product that has yet to be delivered.
Isn’t this obviously wrong because of density?

Suppose I own 1 unit in a 10 unit condo worth $100k. Then a few years later the condo is demolished and rebuilt as a 20 unit condo, of which I own 2 units. I sell them each for $100k, doubling my original price.

This example ignore construction costs, but the point is density means you can have both ROI in real estate and affordable housing.
If enough developers want to do something, you can't stop them. You can make it take more developers, that is the best you can do.
Yes, but you can never spend more than 100% of your income as long as your income is your primary means of obtaining money. In fact, I think most people would have a hard time spending more than even 65% of their income on housing.

Now, I can imagine an exponentially distopian world where 4 families are forced to live in a single house. In such a world, housing prices could rise faster than wages/inflation for quite some time, but not forever. There's only a finite amount of space inside a house. And at some point, you will run out of cubic feet of space (if disease and pestillence doesn't kill you first). In the infinite long run, those prices will only be able to increase as much as wages as long as wages remain the primary source of money.
The racial diversity and non-legacy admits are there to prop up the prestige of the school. They get the the odd genius admitted, so that the wealthy can brush elbows with him/her. It may lift those select few out of poverty, but it in no way helps the average smart person get ahead of the average smart rich person.

That's uhh, way less true than you think it is. There's some pretty important geographical considerations.

1. Cheap shipping via navigable rivers
2. Deep water ports
3. Not subject to periodic flooding
4. Flatness (not a huge deal, but it does make construction cheaper)
5. Soil suitability for construction (especially relevant is where the bedrock is, and what kind of soil lies atop it)

Granted, a lot of this is merely the reason why network effects got started where they did. But they are still highly relevant considerations that add completely natural value to land, regardless of what people would decide to do with it.

My dentists always gave me 10% off for paying cash. Collection agencies often gave me 10 to 20% for paying the whole balance by credit card on the phone. Hospital sometimes gave me 25% for paying a year old balance within 1 month. These were all insurance repriced bills, except of the dental. Many bills were over 1 year old, because of billing errors and numerous back and forth between me, service provider and insurance company.
