Protected bike lanes implies a curb between the road and the lane. While a delivery truck could jump the curb, technically, it "curbs" a lot of that behavior.
Interesting, thank you!

Are there any ways of doing that sort of distribution header-only then, rather than single file?

In Berlin we have a very limited amount of cops on bikes. Getting out of the car changes their perspective.
They're not actually "protected" in the sense of what protected means in the traffic engineering profession. Protected is supposed to be used for things like traffic signal phases (like a green arrow indicating a protected left turn phase). Ironically, when one of those "protected" bike lanes crosses an intersection, there often isn't a protected intersection phase for the cyclist via a traffic signal.
Installing a modchip on a foreign satellite via robotic manipulation seems near impossible on the surface. Watching the Hubble service missions for example gives you an idea of just how much of a pain in the butt it is to service something in orbit, even when you have fully capable human beings doing the work. Building a robot to handle all of the unexpected hurdles of attempting such a task seems outside of our current capabilities. Even a waldo unit is a big ask.

Apple failed spectacularly, multiple times, to develop a successor to MacOS classic. Time was running out and they needed something that worked. They could have picked either Be and BeOS, shaped MkLinux into something presentable, or NeXT and they chose to bring Jobs back in. It didn't hurt bringing him back in reignited faith in the company.

NeXTSTEP was only dead to the market - it was still a pretty good OS, specially when compared to MacOS 9 and Windows. NeXT failed against Sun and SGI, not against the PC market. They never even tried that.
Pretty exciting! Some time ago I was checking the available APIs for searching flight information. I was quite surprised to find out there wasn’t anything suitable for starting small.

API with a reasonable pay-as-you-go plan would enable innovation on this space.

Despite all the effort from different companies the searching/booking experience still does not feel ”enjoyable”.
> The article is about Apple not providing sufficient documentation for their APIs and OP wrote about a experience that supports reasoning why Apple seemingly is not focusing on delivering documentation.

FWIW, I don't see how "I tried to add documentation in my interview and my interviewer didn't like it" translates to "everyone at Apple hates documentation".

I don't like dark mode. There are always lots of apps and websites that haven't adopted the color guidelines, so I'll frequently be snapping from dark black/grey to bright white, which is even harder on my eyes than just white all the time. Turning down screen brightness is better I think.

I think the issue is that sometimes the lanes are wide enough for cars to drive down them, and so unless you out in some targeted barriers with too little spacing between for cars to fit, some drivers will absolutely go down them, and cops generally don't care overmuch.
My comment applies to cars too (if not mainly to cars). I'm not blaming pedestrians (I realize it wasn't obvious at all), I'm blaming all that ignore rules on the road and make these safety rules even less efficient because of the unpredictability. (edit: though of course cars & other vehicules make it far more dangerous)

I'm not a fan of cars already, but people driving cars while following safety rules only when it suits them is what make them a lot more deadly imo.

America has a problem with too little voting, not too much. NC could just ask you to present your voter registration card. That would be sufficient in preventing the type of fraud you imagine, unless you imagine ID fraud too.

And most school IDs, including all but two of the UNC schools, are not eligible. I assure you my daughter's school ID is not.

The voter ID laws are a pretty transparent attempt to suppress Democratic votes. I'd be okay with IDs if they created zero additional friction in the voting process, but they do not.
The claim that ISPs are concerned about Google DNS being anti-competitive or too powerful really rubs me the wrong way.

Google has offered DNS services for years, and ISPs didn't care. The 'problem' isn't that Google is offering its own DNS -- it's that now those queries are encrypted and ISPs can't read them.

The pushback on this has been really eye opening for me. I knew that obviously ISPs were reading DNS queries, but I think the amount of effort ISPs are putting into stopping what is a fairly basic security measure means that I under-appreciated just how much they care about that data. Apparently unencrypted DNS is a bigger threat than I realized.

If ISPs aren't monetizing this stuff now, they're probably planning to.
If by this day, 40 years from now, Zuck hasn't at least launched an exploratory committee for a presidential run, I would be extremely surprised. If this were reddit, I'd promise to do something like eat an insect or a shoe or something.
My experience echoes yours. We had 2 senior devs and 1 junior. We had one major event in 3 years -- a long weekend where things were on fire with code being updated on the half hour. But afterwards, we had so many indicators of when things were even approaching that level the job got almost boringly simple afterwards.
Cool stuff! I've linked to your blog in the pg_flame README.

Although I've read elsewhere that Trump's campaign alone spent ~$100M on FB.

Given the level of pressure on Zuck, I'd say he's not doing this to make more money. He's doing this to avoid establishing a precedent, and avoid negative repercussions later on. For him it pays (in the long term) to be as neutral as possible.
Right. Low speed limits themselves are insufficient. You need to design or modify the road such that it actually feels like you have to go that slowly.
Mi bands don't support always-on-screens, third party apps, watchfaces, or integrations with apps outside their tightly controlled ecosystem. From my pebble I could get the weather at a glance, control my smartlights, pick the music to play on spotify, reply to messages, surreptitiously browse reddit, control my camera, and track my sleep with Sleep as Android. You can't use Mi to do any of those things.

That was the magic of Pebble: fitting an honest-to-god smartwatch on the hardware of a fitness tracker.
I believe their objection is to spelling conventions, not so much the individual names themselves.

Their examples were Ashtin and Tristyn, and if I had to guess I don't think they'd object as strongly or at all to Ashton or Tristan.

But that's just my read of their comment.
I agree! The research is available to how things should be run, what makes workers happiest, how much output is to be expected etc. etc.

There's decades of tech industry research and experience, and centuries of worker productivity data and management research.

However, there's a relentless drive in tech management to figure out how to squeeze more and more productivity out of the workers, all the while keeping them happy and maintaining quality products.

No other industry has that. Nurses would absolutely revolt if you told them that you were putting them in an Agile system in Jira and all of their productivity was going to be tracked down to the hour and once a month they had to hit crunch time and work an 80 hour week to meet deadlines and they had to meet everyday and justify their existence at a standup.

Nurses also have clearly defined goals, career stepping stones, licenses, specialties, etc.

Tech has none of that. The ideal hire is a ROCKSTAR developer that knows everything and doesn't need any wasted time on training, and would love to work their life away.

And management keeps trying to figure out how to make devs more and more like this.

Isn't it curious that he writes a lengthy post about frauds made possible with the current banking system (trust-based reserve) and then doesn't find any use for cryptocurrency?

This is exactly the reason why Bitcoin was invented; its supply is mathematical and can't be over-inflated. Satoshi even included the criticism in the Bitcoin's Genesis block: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".

Obviously Tether (or any private stablecoin like Libra) is even worse than a regulated fiat currency, and should be strictly illegal.
People have taken apart the Tesla Model 3 inverter and we know what they've found. Here's a hint: it's not a stack of 100V MOSFETs in series.

Depending on the model (SR+, Performance, etc), it's either SiC MOSFETs or IGBTs. And there's only one in series, not 10 or 100.

The main reason for my reply was that it seemed like your comment was making broad statements about government, such as implying that government is incapable of competently tackling any problem.

I responded in kind with a broad statement as I felt that was a harmful sweeping generalization that ignored fundamental dynamics such as negative externalities, and needed to be challenged.

As far as I know, yes. Elixir sends its own internal logs through it, and some of the Erlang libraries have begun making it optional recently. I don't include lager on purpose in any of my Elixir projects, for what it's worth.
Citizen's arrest for a non-moving traffic violation? Sounds implausible, though I don't know NY law at all.

I disagree, as well. CHM files were great - they were local, so you could find help even when you didn't have an internet connection. I found them quicker to pull up than a web page, and they didn't have the ads, laggy front-end frameworks or telemetry. They tended to force vendors to be more thoughtful with their documentation than the link-to-a-blog-site that often passes for "technical documentation" today.

Not saying they're perfect or solve everything, but I'm thankful to the author for making this tool.

This impacts me in a somewhat strange way: usually palladium is cheaper than platinum, so when making platinum/palladium prints you can use more palladium both for controlling tone and to spend less on chemicals.
> Economically it'd be both

It could be both. We only have evidence for the supply hypothesis (i.e. capital flight). American companies requiring a higher price for foreign investors sounds plausible. But it's a guess for which we have zero evidence, particularly at a systemic level.

(Fixed demand and higher supply still lower prices.)

One test might be found in comparing pricing and flows for foreign investors around investment vectors companies have discretion around (e.g. private investment or M&A) to vectors with which they don't (e.g. public markets). You'd have to control with prices and flows from American investors in those markets, too, which makes it difficult.

No, but maybe that's something to think about :)
Think interchange in US is around 2% and wire fees can be in tens of dollars.

Right now a reasonable Bitcoin fee would be around 30 sats / byte or 6000 sats / transaction, which is around 50 cents USD. Average transaction fee is less than this right now.

But this is well-trodden ground.

I agree with you in principle, you need to pay for trust somewhere, but a loosely regulated banking sector and cartel of card networks isn’t giving us an ideal outcome, and a decentralized system may be better.

A point in your favor, I’ve been much happier with payments since moving out of the US and into the Eurozone.

It eliminates having to wait 20 minutes at the pizza place, which I surmount is the one reason people don't order in person. I don't order on the phone because I don't really use phones much anymore - most communication is better handled by texting/email.
Protected intersections are also a thing. They didn't exist in the US at all until like 2015, but they're starting to become more common.

They don't make safety 100% perfect, obviously, but they do make things substantially better.
> Although I see their point about non-REST, I think there's still a case for having a REST flavour available even if it may not be the most efficient.

I was pretty disappointed when I found out how ugly are JMAP requests. I'd also like to see REST variant as messages and their parts should be easily mappable to resources. Too bad SMTP was not also included in JMAP. ActivityPub comes really close to SMTP over HTTP/JSON in my opinion.

It's easier to get around on bikes than walking. The easier "not using a car in an urban area" is, the better.

Building bike lanes can also be used for scooters and other kinds of non-auto transport.

Finally, mass transit is an order of magnitude more difficult to plan and implement, as effective MT needs to not only coexist with vehicles, but pre-empt them at intersections. Otherwise, they're slow and no one uses them.

Most cities in the US will never have a subway, so the only option is light-rail or protected bus lanes.

How I like dark mode: everywhere!

So I configure light mode (black text, white background) everywhere, then I use NegativeScreen for Windows to invert colors.

Bonus: you can also setup a transformation matrix to convert all brightness to red, giving you a red-on-black mode for use at night.

This is the only reliable way I know to get a perfect dark mode everywhere (in outlook, terminal, notepad...) as many apps don't support dark mode or have some half-assed support, but all of them have light mode now that the start menu also has light colors support

(One exception on android: samsung browser get special mention for its dark-mode that applies to all pictures)

Were the banks supposed to play ball or say ‘hold on’ before offloading to the public? Honest question.
Totally! I believe the debate can be rephrased in certain situations as : whether you want to always be the player or do you want to be a coach at some point. As coach, you remain relevant as you grow older and have a bigger impact on the team. And in tech, nobody stops you from playing as a coach.
Oops, thanks for catching that! Error fixed :)
I understand that good software costs money. All of the "evil" things listed in this article such as DRM or the SaaS business model all originated from unique attempts to make money and pay developers for their work (among other things, obviously all of this stuff also enriches shareholders and other people who don't directly contribute to the product). You can't have your free cake and afford to eat it too, per say.

There is not really a solution to this dilemma other than overthrowing capitalism entirely (which I believe will happen eventually with the rise of automation), but that might be too drastic of a change at this point in time.

>I very much do expect people to make sacrifices and I think that people who aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good...are either misguided or outright malicious

Hey, I can agree with you here!

>"we" shouldn't need to create an electric pickup truck in order for people to stop driving 10mpg guzzlers around cities for ego reasons. We should probably just tax the hell out of it instead and require them to "sacrifice".

Agreed that we should tax them, however...this example ignores that quite a lot of people who drive pickups actually use them for their job. For example, small business owners such as plumbers or electricians benefit greatly from driving pickups that can carry their tools rather than tiny sedans or awkward SUVs.

This type of insight is also missing from other morally guided arguments such as removing all cars from cities to promote walking and biking. What do you do about snow plowing, service vehicles, delivery vehicles, etc. that modern consumers expect to cater to them directly to their households?

Making an electric pick up truck is a far better solution than taxing ICE pickups (although, again, I think that would help) because it benefits everyone without also penalizing the people who truly do need a pickup or something that can perform the role of a pickup.

In a similar way, making better free software to take market share from paid SaaS software is better than deriding SaaS companies as immoral for stepping in to make life easier for their customers. They exist for a reason and they could not survive if enough people didn't find them valuable.

> if society decided - actually we should probably not like, build roads all over the countryside and disrupt habitats - I'd be fairly happy to give it up

Well, this depends on quite a lot of factors you're leaving out. How do you leave your house without a car? How do you visit friends or family, how do you go to restaurants or grocery stores? How do you get to work if you don't work from home?

If your answer is better public transport, then that's not really a sacrifice you are making because there is an equivalent alternative that still does what you want but without the parts you perceive as bad or wrong. Sure you gave up your Tesla, but you'd only do that if you knew there was some other way to get around. I think if your alternative was literally walking or biking everywhere, I"m not sure if you'd be so excited.
