For a while, I have occasionally considered the idea of turning the shopping mall inside-out. Rather than one building in the center, with a vast expanse of parking lot all around the perimeter, put the parking structure (and auto-service businesses) in the center, and place the shopping, offices, and restaurants around the edges. Then use elevators and horizontal transport systems to move people around quickly without needing their cars. Access from the outside would be by pickup/dropoff cars, public transport, and pedestrians, and building facades would be immediately adjacent to the street.

I don't think you can go straight from an everyone-in-a-car culture to a walkable+public transit culture in one step. So first you get people to put their cars in places that are less in the way, by driving past their destination and parking on the other side of it from the main transit network connections. This allows things to be closer together for pedestrians and the vehicles that do not park.

Imagine the degenerate case, where a worker in an office park wants to visit a store in the mall next door. When the office is surrounded by parking, and the mall is surrounded by parking, a direct walk requires traversal of two large parking lots, and the worker has an incentive to drive, from a parking space near their entrance to the office building, to a parking space near the mall entrance nearest their store. Turning the shops and offices inside-out, in the best case, puts the office and the shop directly across the street from one another, and the worker can cross on a pedestrian overpass faster than they can reach their car. In the worst case, the worker rides two ring-avators and two elevators, once to get to an office-mall adjacency point, down to street level, walk across, back up, and then ringwise again to get to the shop. To drive, the worker would have to walk into parking to reach their car, drive out to the exit, drive in to the mall parking, and walk out again to the shop. That's not entirely eliminated, and would likely occur when the offic and mall are further separated, but it does make walking directly slightly more attractive.

Not everyone gets it. I haven't. But I guess you never know and might be best to try avoiding it.
The US market is not representative at all. It is basically nothing (and Susequehana's operation isn't large). Exchanges are cumulatively worth tens of billions and they are a tiny part of the market. Again, most of the people involved have no interest in VCs (I know a few people starting exchanges). They know nothing, and they usually have less money than them anyway.
I just asked for elaboration.

I don't get whats so confusing about that. The cited article is over 3 years old, from a site whose parent company's founder got sued out of existence for leaking private sex tapes.[1]

Is that what we consider the standard bearer for technical opinions on apps?

Or do you belong to some kind of voting ring that downvotes opinions on apps they don't like?

Why do you need a proxy to fetch the modules in the first place? It seems a little odd for a package manager.
Not all bottom-outs are created equally. I bottom out on my MX Clears but the increased stiffness dampens the force to the point where my typing is comparable to the latest apple keyboards my colleagues use. I don't even use rubber dampeners which would further reduce sound.
My Cherry MX Red Silents are really quiet (as quiet as a membrane or laptop keyboard, without the chatter) and very crisp.
No mention of performance in the article; if you live on the server and can spare big bucks for compute, sure... go ahead and pay for your Java or C# runtimes.

Rust has its applications, but the static analysis ecosystem for C++ has come a long way. I can't imagine memory unsafety still being an issue in 99.9% of C++ code (and if it is, you need better tooling and policies, not a new language).
Because people care about the welfare of the group but disagree about how to achieve it. It is a matter of safety versus personal liberty and you're not going to get easy answers.
It doesn't lock down the ability of extensions to inspect and spy on all your traffic just block it. This in and of itself demonstrates the purpose.

Also lets be real there are only a handful of adblocking extensions that have most of the market share run by legit players they could trivially vet and whitelist a small number of extensions that are allowed this privilege.

It's not about security its clearly about ruining adblocking. A tiny blocklist that can only be updated with the extensions ensures that it is always trivial to work around blockers. One can simply ask which which version of the extension one has and load ads from a url/host created since.
They told me Rust uses affine types (i.e. its move semantics). Clay language (see Lea Wittie et al) used linear and singleton types. Pony has reference capabilities.

I am trying to help a Windows-using team ramp-up on Go dev, and it's pretty rough.

Currently my advice to them is ditch VS Code and download GoLand, the editor change is jarring but the experience is much more fluid on Windows overall. Also transparent support for modules, per project.

For compiling when your code (or a package you're using, e.g. sqlite) has a cgo dependency - afaik YES you will need to go down the dark road of cygwin/Mingw, if you want your development cycle to be at all normal... and even then, my observation is compilation times are an order of magnitude slower on Windows :(

At GopherCon I met folks who worked for huge, "old guard" Windows companies who said "just run a linux VM" to develop in Go.

If you just need to compile for windows once and a while (e.g. for releases only, not as part of your normal dev cycle), check out xgo [1], which uses docker to deal with all the cgo mess. No cygwin/Mingw to install/worry about.

Best of luck! If anyone else has tips for working in Windows, I'd also love to hear them.

Thank you for your elaborate perspective. I initially thought that I'm just dumb, but I guess there are really alot of new things coming around lately, so I'm ok with some minor problems.

Really hope to use GO more and that those rough edges will be gone after a while.

>USB connectors. In my case USB-Mini and USB-A but you can buy USB-Micro and USB-C too.

Sure I can buy the connectors, but soldering a USB-Micro is not exactly the same of a USB-A or a USB-Mini, let alone a USB-C.

And no, those pre-soldered to a breadboard don't count for a DIY cable.
My answers usually did have some upvotes, and I’m only speaking of up-per-year here (passive accumulation after “hot” period, which kind of must show the real usefulness against initial “hey okay cool +5” phase), i.e. not 0->1->2 transitions.

But I see what you mean. Maybe I’m self-biased since I’m usually logged in and do upvote low-voted answers when they obviously help me. Majority may simply not do that for old answers and/or others questions. Still, lack of feedback makes things foggy.

Other than what the sibling posted, which is true, there's an extra round trip for the TLS handshake, which makes a real difference when you're on a horrible 3G connection in a poor country (thankfully HTTP 2.0 fixes a lot of this, but again - complexity). Infra will catch up hopefully but it is a pain point for those who are less well off.
The jFrog folks provided a good example with GoCenter. It was optimized for the performance use case. If you used their proxy, released at the end of last year I think, the time to pull a dependency was significantly less than to pull it from GitHub. This leads to things like faster CI builds.
Even if the US is involved in the Hong Kong protests, at least it'd be making good on the typical mission of spreading freedom and democracy for reasons other than "y'all got oil and we want it" (unless Hong Kong's been sitting on a massive petroleum deposit all this time, but that'd be news to me).
We may never be free of it; it's gone on long enough that there's a whole generation that's grown up thinking it's normal to get information by watching a five minute video that conveys the same information as five lines of text.
Heh - I should do something like that for my cheap home fridge:

1. JB weld some magnets to the back of a cheap Android tablet and stick it on the front.

2. Build a small RasPi Zero W cam with an LED light, running MotionEyeOS, pipe it's feed out to the internet...

$60.00 later and some sweat equity - I could have the same setup, and not have to worry about it going "obsolete"...
Maybe Rust moves slowly, but not nearly as slow as Go. I know because I use both languages daily. I spend almost no time in Go code keeping up with deprecations, new APIs and new language features. Not all of those things need to go through the RFC process. For example, I don't think there's any backpressure against deprecating stuff right now. As soon as a replacement comes along, a deprecation pretty routinely occurs just a couple releases (a few months) after it. I don't spend a ton of time in Rust responding to churn, but it's definitely noticeable.

This is why I've been bleating a bit more now than I have before about reducing churn.

N.B. On reflection, perhaps I do have some bias here. My daily work on Go is mostly for $work, and involves one large codebase. My daily work on Rust, however, involves maintenance of dozens of crates. So if there's churn, I feel it repeatedly. So its effect might be magnified for me personally.

> "Starting today, we're launching Tesla Insurance, a competitively priced insurance offering designed to provide Tesla owners with up to 20 percent lower rates, and in some cases as much as 30 percent," Tesla announced on its website last week. According to the statement, Tesla Insurance offers comprehensive coverage and claims management to customers in California, with planned expansion to additional U.S. states in the future.

This made no sense until I read this:

> "Tesla Insurance does not use nor record vehicle data, such as GPS or vehicle camera footage, when pricing insurance," states the company.

Now the plan becomes clear. Create a profit center through an insurance division that's granted privileged access to the wealth of surveillance tech built into each Tesla but unavailable to outside insurers.
They seem to be doing well in the years after the article.

I believe the LADOT's goal here is "no thru traffic", wherein cars only enter a given "residential zone" when they have reason to be present in it, and that's why my idea centers around most clearly stating that.

If you try to take actions that are not "no thru traffic", the area would need to have precisely one ingress-egress point, at the same point, in order to ensure that there are no one-way ingresses/egresses for thru traffic routing algorithms to take advantage. This single in-out location would prevent Waze from considering the neighborhood for thru traffic, at the expense of increasing drive times for residents of the neighborhood for all egress points removed. The political fights over this would be an absolute nightmare, as there would be a perceived risk of negative impact to home values for all homes near former egress points due to increased trip times.

Simply making it a traffic violation to "thru" a residential zone does no harm to residents and businesses, as they retain their free right of ingress/egress to/from their zones, and allows residents to request enforcement if an unusually high level of thru traffic impacts their zone for any reason (Waze or otherwise). That's why I propose it rather than more drastic alternatives.
True if literature isn't synonymous with 'worthwhile.'
Have you worked with large numbers? I feel like industrial scale drone swarms would be much different than the consumer ones we're used to. Even military ones that are individually very valuable.
Does it re-encrypt them when sending, though? I would have to assume they've at least looked at doing that, otherwise it's a giant security hole.
You can make a similar argument that the wide availability of soaps and deodorants reinforces biases about how people should smell. While that's true, the fact that anyone can easily match those biases reduces the opportunity to discriminate and makes those biases less of an issue.

>>Teachers try to sedate students because they have nothing valuable to teach.

Let's try and break this extreme opinion down into some components.

What is "valuable" to you? Why would working outside of teaching help someone be better at teaching their subject matter? Is this statement for teachers across all levels, or just grade school? How is it that gross generalization opinions are constructive, but empirical personal experiences providing evidence that contradict that generalization aren't?

Perhaps if Google got out of the ad serving business.
Interesting. Some of these improvements are great, others are more of a mixed bag.
To point out some of the latter:

> heif support

A shame they didn't put their weight behind avif for this one. Maybe there are some "lobbies" at play?

> Live caption

I love it for accessibility. I loathe it for privacy. Local, self-hosted, or bust. Same for Live Transcribe. Awesome and scary.

> Family link

It was about time google shared a tiny bit of the data it has on us, so that we can put it for good use. Of course, this really shows the level of control and insight Google has on us.

> Smart Reply

Some commenters here wrote that this was done locally. I would like some source on this (is training also done locally? Nothing is sent back?). If so, this might be interesting. Otherwise, that's plain scary.

> Keep your data private with more controls

More control is great, but that's still not enough. The app may refuse to launch if denied a permission, we would need an option to "lie" about it. "ad retargeting and personalization", from the screenshot, sounds like preventing apps (or maybe just asking) to use the advertizing ID for such purposes. Of course, they can still do it with everything else.

> Get security updates faster

Everyday Android strays further from the GPL. The way forward should be to help manufacturers play nice (use a few persons full-time for support, promote "mainline" devices to the public as the ones that will always receive updates). I haven't looked into the details, but this sounds like furthering their "trebble" HAL to run (and update) closed-source blobs on an outdated kernel (but who cares, right? because they put less and less stuff in the GPL'ed kernel).

---

My apologies if that reads like a rant. The level of control Google has on our (digital) lives is downright horrifying. I'm honestly pulling all my weight behind free software alternatives to google, both donating and contributing, but that's not nearly enough, as the vast majority of people simply don't care. You know what they say about putting all of your eggs into the same basket? One that will not hesitate to blackmail you to get them back, and maybe taste one or two. And now, how about putting yourself into that basket, for good measure?

I'm quite interested in alternatives such as postmarketos, pinephone, librem 5, plasma mobile, ubports, lineageos, replicant, mycroft, mozilla voice, firefox, peertube, nextcloud, collabora online, openstreetmap, Matrix, and countless others. Most projects lack manpower and funding, unfortunately. Yet most of the ones I quoted are quite likely to succeed, IMO.
While it is true that the core WiFi code is not open source, the ESP-IDF is significantly more open than anything else on the market today.

This is not to say that Espressif is the bee's knees. I personally wouldn't use their hardware in production. But by making their product easily accessible, and much of the source code open, they have made it easier for white hats to raise security issues.
Samsung DeX (or similar) is a very interesting use case for more powerful hardware. But if that's not something you'd use, then I fully agree with you.

That and "fondle slabs" for Apple devices. It's been my daily coffee-break read since they started all those years ago. I don't know if it's the case now, but they wore their ban from Apple events (for not showing enough fawning) as a badge of pride for many years.
For example a problem might be solving for the roots of a polynomial, and on each try it would randomly generate a new polynomial with new coefficients.

first problem: find the roots x^2 + 2x + 1

second try: find the roots of 4x^2 - 2x + 4

Or something like that.
> Is there a trick or tool for doing it quickly?

I've made quite a few in my day and it's never been an issue. I always untwist the pairs, then with the cable in my left hand, pinch the blue pair between my left thumb and index finger. I then slide the wires in between my fingers from either side in the appropriate order using my right hand. Once I have all the wires aligned, I grasp the wires between right thumb and index finger and slide my left fingers down to the sheath. Then I work the cable back and forth. I then return my left hand to pinching the wires and trim them to length before inserting.
