I lived in a city with extensive public transportation infrastructure (Moscow) for 7 years without a car. TBH, I would not trade my current suburban US lifestyle for a high density city. Want groceries? Gotta carry them in all the way from the store (which usually within walking distance, but still, shit's heavy unless you buy groceries every day, which can be quite wasteful). Job not within walking distance (which it rarely is)? Say hello to 1-2hrs of daily commute (about 35 min of which for me was walking). Kid has hobbies that aren't within walking distance? Pain. Need to get something from a store that's not nearby (i.e. hardware, household goods)? Long commute _and_ carry stuff as well. Need to get something you can't carry? Gotta rent a car or pay for delivery. It's snowing or raining? Tough luck, gotta walk to the subway and/or store all the same. Etc, etc. Hundreds of these situations where in the US I just get into a car and go wherever I want. I don't even get wet if it's raining outside.

This "car-less" stuff only looks good (on paper) to two categories of people:

1. Europeans who never had a car and therefore don't fully understand the upsides
2. Americans who never lived without a car and therefore don't fully understand the downsides
I suspect incredible funds are overinvested (as occurred to many popular labelled investment strategies from the past).

But although you might get better returns picking the next strategy, you probably would do fine with index funds.

And timing the market has always been a loser strategy (except for a few lucky or skilled outliers).
I'm assuming that "major cities" here is code for "Boston-to-Washington corridor, Chicago, and San Francisco"--the US cities that are the most similar to European cities and generally have strong downtowns, coherent transit systems, and generally dissuade car access to their city centers. This would be in contrast to the urban centers of places like LA or Dallas, where the downtowns are filled with surface parking lots instead of buildings.

> According to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the 10-kg drone suffered an uncontrolled crash “in a wooded area of Zurich’s university quarter only 50 yards away from a group of playing kindergarten children.”

Something tells me that a German newspaper wouldn't be using yards. Sure enough, looking at the source, it's a mistake in Google's translation model

> Dass die mehr als 10 Kilogramm schwere Drohne vom Typ Matternet M2V9 in einem Waldstück des Zürcher Universitätsviertels nur rund 50 Meter entfernt von einer Gruppe spielender Kindergartenkinder zu Boden krachte, erwähnte der staatliche Logistikkonzern indes nicht.

Bing translate gets it right though.
> OpenCL since it's portable

Even if you choose OpenCL, the tools (profiler, debugger, etc) are usually platform specific. In addition, my experience with opencl across platforms was that each of the vendors' compilers had distinct issues and that performance was not portable.

I get the appeal for an open API, but opencl never grew a development ecosystem or any libraries. IMO it is dying and isn't worth the effort. AMD is implementing CUDA with hip - maybe roll with that.
Both of my kids played a lot of Roblox until we banned it. They easily became obsessed and were violent when removed, even with a tightly controlled schedule. They would try to connect to offer WiFi networks to get access and would steal our phones to get access. We ended up having to detox them like it was a drug.

Beyond that we found that the openly mod-able nature of the game allowed some remarkably disgusting 3D models and game modes. Just Google it. It was not hard to find a room with 50 kids holding adult store items and doing extremely inappropriate things.

The system is also rife with predators. One game let them share pictures somehow. Some guy was asking my daughters to send them pictures of their feet. Try to censor that request in chat, I guess.

This if course sets aside the caste system that is built on their in-game currency. Scammers can convince your kids to trade their favorite items away in a "trust trade".

Roblox is not appropriate in my experience.
I grew up in western Montana and have had 2 close up encounters with black bears and been stalked by a cougar/mountain lion/puma.

Black bears are pretty skittish. If you make noise, they'll likely run away, unless theyve became acclimated to humans. Still, they can be dangerous, but rarely are, unless youre around a sow and her cubs. You do not want to fuck with a sow and her cubs. Best you can do there is slowly back away, ensuring you never get between the sow and the cubs. If you do get between a sow and her cubs, you're in for a bad day. Do not run. Black bears are mostly scavengers, but running away can trigger their instinct to view you as prey. Best stand your ground, make yourself as big as possible and a helluva a lot of noise. I did this once from about 30-40 yards away, and it worked. Couldn't tell if it was male or female, but there were no cubs around. It did rear up up on its hind legs amd grunt and growl at me, but after about 30 seconds of it grunting and me yelling and waving about like a lunatic, it dropped back down on all 4 legs and plondered off.

My second bear encounter happened about 2am on our back porch. We didnt have AC, so in the summer, we'd open up all the doors and windows, only having screen doors keeping critters out. Well, I was up late reading and I heard a big metallic crash from the kitchen. Figuring either the dogs or cats knocked some pans off the stove, got up, without my glasses to investigate. Seeing nothing amiss in the kitchen, I flipped on the back porch light and open the screen door. Technically never saw it on account of no glasses, being near sighted and a near moonless night, and it being a black bear, but I heard it. Soon as I flipped on the light and openned the door, I heard a distinct bear grunt and heard it plod off. It could have easily walked right through the screen into our home, putting itself between me and the loaded gun at the door.

The one that creeped me put the most was being stalked by the cougar. I was 11 at the time, hiking with my dad who was hunting for deer/elk. We had spent several hours hiking up an old logging road with maybe an inch of fresh snow on the ground. We didnt see any tracks at all until we turned around. After a short while, we noticed the cougar tracks that had been following ours. We never saw the cat, and some nearly 30 years later, still sends shivers down my spine. Regarding attacks by a cougar, they generally only attack children, and from an ambush position. Adults may be attacked if the cat is threatened or in poor health. You generally need to do anything to fend of a cougar as they generally wont approach an adult human. Things you can do to prevent attacks is to keep brush and grass trimmed around your home, especially if you have small children. They are ambush predators and dont like being exposed. As an adult, if you are attacked, fight back, and go for the face. In the heat of the summer, they often seek out cool spots such as window wells or garages.

And why not? They are using publicly serviced space. The buildings would be worthless without without publically funded roads.

If these buildings were truly private and exempt from the larger social society they wouldn't need hostile architecture in the first place.
You can actually set this to a higher number in the sys module. Maybe not too high if you don't like segfaults.

In a recession, cash is king. Everything loses value relative to the U.S. dollar.
Publishers need to realize that unless they wise up, they're going to lose the battle sooner rather than later.

Authors need to get paid. But today, authors can promote their books themselves (podcast interviews, youtube interviews, direct-to-site for established authors, readings in libraries). And they can sell directly to fans.

You'd think publishers would look at sci-hub and tone it down not up. If they keep strong-arming libraries, that too will hasten their demise. Readers don't CARE who publishes a book, and they love libraries ... which have been and will be around for millenia after Macmillan turns to dust.

Yep, sanding is an option. I've also seen people fill the valleys with some sort of goop filler and then start sanding from there, just to get it a little closer to smooth. But I can't say if introducing different materials like that might interfere with casting. They were doing it to paint over.

Another approach is vapor smoothing - you can use acetone vapor to smooth ABS prints. Acetone won't do anything to PLA though.

I've heard of other chemicals being available for smoothing PLA, but they're nastier than acetone and I don't know anyone who's actually tried them.
Ah, interesting. That explains the Roblox memes I see from time to time with very odd grammar. "Go commit neck rope", "I will un-alive you", and "Do you are have stupid?"
> would you trust a robot to look after your aging parents without hurting them?

Robots should be introduced into caring for the aged as soon as possible.

I can't say this strongly enough: It is a really terrible world for old people who have reached a certain age or level of incapacity.

If you've spent any time with someone caring for an older person at home, or in a nursing home, or in a hospital, there is SO much room for the improvement of people's lives.

home care needs automation.

nursing homes need automation.

hospitals need much much better automation.

Things that people need: help getting someone out of bed. Help getting someone into bed. Help getting someone to go to the bathroom. Help giving someone a bath or shower. Help getting someone some food. Help going outside.

Getting help in these ways is so expensive they basically don't happen.

I could go on and on.
I find 'abject' an amusing adjective to apply. It makes one imagine the author writhing on the ground in despair after loading a standard website, and despondent - o tempora! o mores! - resolving to be different.

(Not entirely wrong, as it happens.)
I believe it because it's demonstrably true.

> It's expensive because armies of retired people come to city council meetings and shut down any development because it'll hurt their 60s nostalgia.

Maybe in some areas, but in Southern California this is fantasy.

(California) Brea's mall expansion forced eminent domain on founding neighborhoods for commercial development. That never came and was sold back to new developers for gentrification. I had a property that I was paid well for, but I did not want to sell. So I bought into Santa Ana.

In 2009 The Irvine Company put out magazine that detailed the commercial expansion to the adjacent 2525 N. Main Street and eventually the Park Santiago neighborhood. That has been in progress for 2 years, after the necessary city council members were termed out of course. The NIMBYs there are of the aforementioned demographic, alongside their descendants. It's as ineffective. I have pre-emptively sold, but you can still attend the futile meetings if you like (https://park-santiago.com/)

Most pro-choice people do believe that education is important to women's (bodily) autonomy.

And abortions are not "universally understood to be reprehensible".

Only a minority of the country believes that abortion is universally reprehensible, and the rest draw various lines between "universally" and "never".

The country is very divided on the morality of abortion.

The country is not very divided on the morality of shooting up a WalMart.

I have written one but haven't posted it for obvious reasons. In Satoshi's case, it's vexed by the problem that it depends heavily on what datasets you have access to. For example, the California IP leak reduces Satoshi's anonymity to perhaps 2 or 3 bits... but only if you know the location/identity of everyone in California and also where that IP was assigned to at that time.
I’d already passed the recruiter screen and another phone interview. This was the technical interview with the manager of the group.

Could someone from AMZN confirm that 18 months is the common duration of their non-compete? This is upping the ante considerably even compared to the already abusive terms by Google/FB/MSFT in WA (1 year, never seen it enforced). Unless offered truly staggering compensation, I wouldn't even consider a job which upon termination requires me to not work anywhere for a year and a half.
Sorry that's not the argument I was trying to make. The argument I was trying to make is that Twitter, FB groups etc all have these type of violent posts but they are not being held liable (most likely because they are way too big and maybe also because they are US based companies). Reddit has subreddits which actively call for assassination of political figures. I have reported them a few times but the posts stay on because maybe the mods aren't getting paid to do their jobs on reddit unlike the other big companies.

Duct tape. Boeing’s favorite.
I am almost 40 and have had the same reaction. What is ironic is that the people on the internet with the elitist attitudes are extremely ignorant to anything that appears to be happening politically and only comment on message boards that have extreme censorship of ideas. Their opinions appear to be straight from CNN, as if they just read the headlines.

Nobody in any of the comments about this topic have even addressed any of the political issues other than the common left-wing view that guns should be taken away. Everybody believes the attackers are "white supremacists", despite the manifestos of these people suggesting otherwise. The attackers don't have any negative feelings towards other races, they simply prefer their own race. This is common amongst all races and has nothing to do with white supremacy. The supposed reason they are acting out is due to the massive decline in the white population. This isn't even talked about on the forums the elitist, anti-free speech people participate in. Not wanting your race to disappear is not racism. That is just stupid.

I am not sure if these attackers really even are doing anything because of these issues. It is more likely that their lives are not going well and they have adopted a cause that can help to explain why their lives are not going well. The solution to this isn't to try to prevent disenfranchised people being radicalised, because that is impossible. These people just adopt a cause. Their mindset is already in place, they just find a reason somewhere at the current time and in the current political environment for their actions. This part isn't important. The important part is why their lives aren't going so well. That has to change if people want to stop these events.

The idea that Trump or 8chan or 4chan has anything to do with these events is dumb. Trump wasn't the start of all of this. There was Brexit before that, for example. The turmoil that is starting to occur has nothing to do with websites or individuals, it has to do with the general state of modern life. The terrible jobs, the lack of feeling like a human, the strange aspects of modern life that are not compatible with human nature. The question of why the white race is so rapidly declining also has to be answered.
I think one of the problems in discussing cities is the hazy meaning of "city" that different people have in mind. Many (most?) people who live in cities aren't in the biggest ones, and the dynamics are different eg when bikeable-distance suburban housing is affordable, and distances inside the urban area are walkable.
This article spent 90% on telling me the problem and the last few words telling me the solution...Which is more social programs.
+1 to the Vanguard money market fund. It’s been best in class for the last 10+ years.
The smaller the city the less transit system does it need. Local errands can be done by bike, travel to the next city just needs a train station.

A classic from [1]:

> An aircraft company discovered that it was cheaper to fly its planes with less fuel on board. The planes would be lighter and use less fuel and money was saved. On rare occasions however the amount of fuel was insufficient, and the plane would crash. This problem was solved by the engineers of the company by the development of a special OOF (out-of-fuel) mechanism. In emergency cases a passenger was selected and thrown out of the plane. (When necessary, the procedure was repeated.) A large body of theory was developed and many publications were devoted to the problem of properly selecting the victim to be ejected. Should the victim be chosen at random? Or should one choose the heaviest person? Or the oldest? Should passengers pay in order not to be ejected, so that the victim would be the poorest on board? And if for example the heaviest person was chosen, should there be a special exception in case that was the pilot? Should first class passengers be exempted? Now that the OOF mechanism existed, it would be activated every now and then, and eject passengers even when there was no fuel shortage. The engineers are still studying precisely how this malfunction is caused.

dragontamer says> " mean, these aren't the first mass shootings, and they won't be the last."

Precisely! People die. Once dead they are gone forever and we won't someday miraculously find them coming back to life again. The number that are dead from war, famine or any other cause will always an increasing number; it will _never_ decrease. There is zero chance of turning back the clock and of reducing the number. Media cries of alarm about rising numbers of dead are absurd! Of course numbers of dead are rising - that's what a monotonically increasing function does! Quit denying reality and get used to it.

The Second Amendment is embedded in the DNA of the American people. Other than the pre-colonial period, the USA has _always_ had firearms. They aren't going away, ever. Today there are twice as many firearms as people and the number is rising even more rapidly. Each time liberals cry for more gun control, more AR15s and AK47s fly off the shelves.

Yesterday I spoke to a liberal friend who was very alarmed about the shootings. At first he furiously insisted that we need to regulate "military-grade guns". After I explained to him that the guns used in mass shootings weren't really "military-grade" and that guns weren't going away he finally confessed "I need to get a gun - there was a shooting in my workplace parking lot last week, which is dark and lonely at night. I need some protection."

In summary:

1. The American people need to butch up and face reality,

2 We all, gun owners or not, have responsibilities, among them the responsibility to protect our fellow man.
Ah, yes, that bug.

Few programs can handle a fail return from "malloc", and Linux perhaps tries too hard to avoid forcing one. Most programs just aren't very good at getting a "no" to "give me more memory" Browsers should be better at this, since they started using vast amounts of memory for each tab.

I used to hit a worse bug on servers. If you did lots of MySQL activity, so that many blocks of open files were in memory, and then started creating processes, you'd often hit a situation where the Linux kernel needed a page of memory but couldn't evict a file block due to some lock being set. Crash. That was years ago; I hope it's been fixed by now.

> Robotics still seems a long way off being able to automate many physical jobs - would you trust a robot to look after your aging parents without hurting them?

You're only seeing what's left after centuries of automation/mechanization. Thank of all the tools people doing physical labor everyday use, power drills, various power saws, nail guns, angle grinders, air compressors, etc. These were all done via manual labor not long ago, many within living memory.
