Greenland's ice sheet just lost 11B tons of ice – in one day
From Wikipedia:

Copenhagen[a] (Danish: København [kʰøpm̩ˈhaʊ̯ˀn] (About this soundlisten)) is the capital and most populous city of Denmark. As of July 2018, the city has a population of 777,218 (616,098 in Copenhagen Municipality, 103,914 in Frederiksberg Municipality, 43,005 in Tårnby Municipality, and 14,201 in Dragør Municipality).[3][7][8] It forms the core of the wider urban area of Copenhagen (population 1,627,705) and the Copenhagen metropolitan area (population 2,057,737).

It's a fair bit bigger than 600k whichever way you look at it. Frederiksberg is entirely encircled by Copenhagen municipality, there's no difference in terms of cycling. There's easily 1M people who could cycle to work/school if they wanted. As a kid I could cycle, maybe 85% in bike lanes, all the way to the end of "the Copenhagen metropolitan area" from the centre.

My main gripe with the place is they seem to hate cars. I mean the trains, underground, bus, and bike lanes work for a lot of people, but not everyone. Say I want to bring my kids and my elderly parents somewhere. Realistically the only way to do that is to drive, but they're squeezing parking spaces massively.
I've noticed I'd become used to it. I've gotten used to a sleeping mask and earplugs in a similar way (they really help me).

I've noticed I don't have issues wearing something around my wrist, but I get that that's a factor. I'm also noticing that I don't get anxious about the data, because it's all a bit guesswork anyway, so I guess I'd want to see an aggregate form of data if it gets more precise, so that it still feels a bit like guesswork, unless there's something wrong in a big way.

> It would be obvious if they consulted literally any experienced programmer from East Asia. Yeah, that was 1990 so it’s not an easy thing to do by any means

They did consult not just experienced East Asian programmers, but Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese professors of Linguistics and the relevant local authorities, and had them form the Ideographic Rapporteur Group, which advised them that all the East Asian languages can be encoded in 20940 code points.

Unicode is not centrally run like so many people seem to expect. Rather, the Unicode Consortium itself acts just as the standards body that mates together local standards into a single complete whole. The Consortium makes no decisions about how Chinese is represented, other than allocating them code pages; all the relevant decisions about any language is done by local experts. The problem was that the early 90's were an era of boundless optimism and futurism, which in East Asia resulted in the Han Unification project, with the idea of cutting down the amount of symbols in use, and unifying the representation of all the languages that used a Han-derived alphabet. That... did not go so well.
In my case, it's the result of a research project I carried out a few years ago. While that went into somewhat deeper detail, the kind of information I've shared here is quite openly available from official and academic sources.
Why would such information be particularly secret? Only secret keys are secret; knowing how to use them is a basic skill for all military pilots and a lot of other aviation personnel.
For the codes directly no, for contractors with sufficient clearance for handling the keys yes.

The corollary is that for everyone else working on solving business problems in non-software industries (coincidentally there is a related discussion from today https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20599190) the principles are still perfectly sane.

In that kind of environment it doesn't lead to short-term thinking because a long-term business vision can exist independently of how a software solution is implemented.

You mean mean, not average. Mean, median and mode are all averages. Only median splits into equal groups.

The point I was trying to make though is that "normal" is not in any way equivalent to any kind of average. It always refers to a range or distribution, even if that range is very small (eg if there is only one normal value, the normal range is the margin of error). 5'8" and 5'10" are both normal heights; you would not say they are taller or shorter than normal. They're shorter/taller than average.

Yao Ming is taller than normal. Dwarfism is by definition abnormally small size. Normal can't be the average, because there wouldn't be anything to describe the range of heights between abnormally short and normal height. Also, normally short and normally tall would be the same thing. Makes no sense.

Split yes, down the middle or remotely evenly who knows.

A confounding factor is that both the US and UK militaries have been fighting extended insurrection 'policing' actions for much of the last two decades, so you have an army that is used to been an occupying force.

This explanation has little to do with why. Latin-1 guarantees each character is coded into a single set of 8 bits, UTF-8 is a variable width encoding. The point of giving an encoding is so it is known how to decode it and a string passed as Latin-1 comes with guarantees about character positions and so on without parsing.

What does 5G enable that 2G, 3G, 4G, and even WiFi wouldn't have already enabled? There's huge hype for 5G enabled industrial IoT, but how is this any different from connecting the devices to WiFi or a 2G/3G/4G network? Latency is thrown around a lot, but considering the latency between my laptop (which is 8 years old, mind you) and my WiFi router is less than a millisecond, I don't see the point.

I think the answer badly misconstrues the purpose of "short term planning" and "continuous integration" as though these concepts preclude long proof-of-concept projects. The point of short delivery cycles is not to deliver a viable product to an external customer every two weeks. Rather it simply ensures that code remains in-sync with its intended use-case and guards against individuals going off on untracked tangents.

Basically, developers who try to develop 10,000 lines of code on their own, without sharing it for a month, create massive risks and are an impediment to their team. Forcing regular code curation and sharing among the team makes the project stronger – that's what "short term planning" does.

Roger. I usually do my own research when I buy stuff.
That has its own issues - you can’t completely “smoothly” convert 24FPS source material to 60FPS, and many viewers can detect the uneven frame cadence when this is done due to the inconsistent introduction of extra frames to get it to fit the 60FPS cadence. You can often see it in slow panning shots, were it introduces a perceptible judder to the video.

While the Wikipedia article on 3:2 pulldowns mainly discusses converting 24FPS film to 30/60 FPS broadcast, the same conversion is virtually always done on digital material as well, in software at playback time or by the video codec changing the frame rate.

As mrob also writes, you only get smooth frame rate changes usually if the new frame rate is an integer multiple of the original one, as then the extra frames introduced is consistent. This is why 30FPS video doesn’t have this problem at 60hz, but 24FPS does.

5G won't be anywhere near low-latency enough to actually offload processing for these types of devices. (Not to mention, I'd really worry about what happens when a car loses connection.)

"securing private space through private spending. Attempts to do so are highly inefficient, producing ridiculous levels of redundancy and replication. Look at roads, in which individual people, each encased in a tonne of metal, each taking up (at 70mph) 90 metres of lane, travel in parallel to the same destination. The expansion of public wealth creates more space for everyone; the expansion of private wealth reduces it, eventually damaging most people’s quality of life."
I used to do oceanographic research and for a time the group I was part of supported some science operations on the Healy — smaller coastguard icebreaker for use in the arctic that is also based in Seattle. Man I hated sailing on that ship compared to the smaller oceanographic vessels I was used to ... and only ever did short week long sea trials for testing on that ship ...

The polar star tho — that thing barely looked like it floated — mad respect to the people who keep that working and the amount of suffering that must involve ...

One of the things that was strange to me about the Healy was the crew rotation schedule — there was very little continuity of personnel with military design of all people must be on temporary assignments and therefore easily replaceable ... seems like they can’t possibly do that with a ship like the polar star where the deep ship specific knowledge _has_ to be on board ...?
I agree. The opposite is true elsewhere: most cities in the world, especially in the US, subsidize cars and parking.
That’s not correct. Latin-1 and UTF-8 are both compatible with 7-bit ASCII but they are not the same encoding. For instance é (e acute) is a single byte in latin-1 (0xe9) but is two bytes in UTF-8 (0xc3 0xa9)

Color Assimilation Grid Illusion – Øyvind Kolås
I would quit right away and launch a similar product.
It's worth mentioning that most of the cities in Denmark are similar. Nearly every town that isn't tiny has pedestrian/bike only streets, and the trend seems to be to expand these areas rather than making them smaller.

I live in Odense which is across the other bridge (the one that doesn't go to Sweden) and it is by far my favorite city in Denmark. Relatively recently, the busiest street that goes through the very center of downtown was closed in order to expand the pedestrian downtown.

Copenhagen is really charming with its canals and such, but it's incredibly busy and noisy and trafficked in comparison. Too much for me.

If anyone should be considering moving to denmark, Copenhagen is not the only place to be. Odense, Århus, Vejle, Ålborg and most other cities are built on the same principles, so if work doesn't demand you live in the capitol, expanding your search parameters is definitely worth it(and potentially very lucrative given the price of housing in Copenhagen).

I was about to try to comment this same idea to defend Scott. To further support it, I recommend anyone to look at the guests he interviews on his podcast, https://www.hanselminutes.com/.

I would go further and say that UCS-4 is also a variable length encoding, mostly because of emoji and its endearing ZWJ sequences, not to mention the encoding of flags as two Regional Indicator Symbol codepoints (both in the astral plane, of course), which makes Unicode not self-synchronizing.

So the idea of ever having a fixed-length encoding for Unicode is basically impossible now. Best to just use UTF-8 for everything and logic to group it in to code points, grapheme clusters, or whatever other granularity is needed.

One way to think about text, is as the only data we use that shrinks over the years. Every other type of data continues to grow.

The way this can be stretched to make sense is by thinking for example how much these have grown over 20 years.

Media (music, video, images) grows staggeringly because of 200p > 4k, 128bit mp3 to flac or whatever and there's more of it all that's gone digital.

Code size continues to grow quite significantly even.

But text? Even the massive wikipedia's size, only a fraction is text content.

Then as memory capacity also grows it's really a back and forth battle between computing resources and all other data, except text.

Hard to think of many places 4 byte chars would matter nowadays, maybe the tiniest devices for a few apps?

They also controlled for "age, sex, annual household income, economic status (eg, employed, retired, or unemployed), highest educational qualification, and couple status".

Taken together those are likely to capture socio-economic status in all but a few edge cases. With a very large study size, and a huge result (30% difference) it's unlikely that it can be explained by socioeconomic status.

The study discusses this by the way.

Doing 1 month without integration is still fine. When agile was conceived doing 6 sprints per year would have been considered agile in many fields. The goal is to be able to be as responsive as reasonably possible not simply to add thousands of mostly meaningless milestones.

It turns out that most projects can be broken down into absolutely tiny pieces, and that is generally a good idea. However, the core idea is you need to adjust the methodology to the problem at hand and not the other way.
I've been wondering, how much processor overhead does UTF8 have? Not just because you can't jump N bytes into a string to get a character offset, but because each byte has to be inspected to find whether it's the start of a multi-byte segment, how many of the subsequent bytes 1-3 are included.

Does that mean there's processor branch-prediction fails and stalling every few bytes in processing UTF8 strings with many multibyte characters in them?
