My kids' only complaint about biking in the rain (or snow) is that we don't stop at the playground on the way. They're in normal exposed bike seats as well, albeit wearing clothes appropriate for the weather, so they're not even in a trailer or those fancy rain canopies that you see on box bikes.

Insurance is only economical for unpredictable, rare circumstances. Flooding is basically guaranteed in certain areas, so it would be crazy to offer insurance for it, as it would simply turn into a payment plan for a future expected expense. Much like health "insurance" exists in the US.
... and tried to shoot a police officer.
The issue isn't that he stole a shirt, the issue is that he ran from cops, which is a pretty serious crime. Trying to evade arrest and capture is extremely dangerous and if police were to say "well he ran I guess we'll just let him go" crime would skyrocket because thieves would know all you have to do is run and you're home free.

edit: I'm not sympathizing with cops or trying to say the use of force here was justified (it wasn't). I'm just saying we need to make attempts to pursue (within reason)

This and all the recent catalonian parliament elections, you clearly see the split between pro independence parties and not pro independence.

The 1978 constitution is the current rule of law, it can be changed, but that needs political support in the spanish congress. If you want to simply ignore the rule of law because you don't like the constitution or "many of the people that voted for it are dead" that's your problem (sorry to be blunt, but that can't be a serious argument).
My general rule is that I don't even think about learning a new technology until at least two years after I first heard about it.

I assume that I hear about new stuff fairly early in their adoption, since I try to keep up with these things, so if it's still a thing two years later, it might have enough staying power to be worth learning. After that it still takes a while for me to get around actually learning the things.

Go and Rust are languages that have been on my todo list for a while now, for example, but I still haven't touched a JS framework because I haven't seen one with staying power yet.
"Corporate level" doesn't exist when you're talking about things termed criminal. Criminal charges are levied at individuals, not companies, because companies cannot act-only people can.

What does posix compliant* even mean for make? The posix standard doesn't even require support for c++! That's a VERY portable Makefile. It would work on any make from the late seventies (assuming you also had a c++ compiler and system Makefiles that knew how to use it). It only uses a small subset of the rules in the standard.

I develop and sell a Q&A platform since 2017 (https://scoold.com). It started off as Stack Overflow clone but now it has features which are quite niche and missing from SO like geolocation and spaces for teams. The project is open source but has a Pro version which generates around 4000€ per month.
I spend around 30% of my work day on support and emails. The rest of the day I fix issues and develop new features.
I'm a solo developer and work full time on the project. Accounting & legal is handled by an external company. I operate as a limited company within the EU.

All solutions should be considered. But we have solutions (electrification, present renewables) that are less risky than sunshades in many ways. Also, sunshades don't help the ocean acidification. So it'd be diverting resources to a fragile solution of a sub-problem when we only have the resources to solve the problems in an integrated way.
It would tarnish reputations at the minimum. Legacy matters to the ultra rich.

This is pretty awesome to see. I have longed dreamed of doing this kind of work, building interactive tools for teaching science (whether in an academic setting or in science news media).

I'm planning to spend some time learning three.js in the coming months, but does anyone else have advice for getting into this kind of work? Should I go deep into linear algebra and the math behind the graphics? Or just keep things simple and focus on the actual creative / artistic representation of scientific ideas? (The latter certainly seems like the harder part).

Also curious where one could find paid work doing these kinds of things.
Of course it would. Just like it's different when police see another police speeding, or their relatives breaking traffic laws with their fake badge stuck on the windshield.

Insurance is definitely the point to watch.

Real estate as investment makes sense only where the risk is insurable, and increasingly that's becoming less the case. If insurers won't insure, and banks can't get bailed out, mortgages won't get made, and property values will plummet.

A recent realisation of mine is that the so-called FIRE sector (apt name...), Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate, effectively tripods itself. Finance provides the liquidity, insurance assesses and socialises risks, and real estate provides a huge share of the actual backing assets. If any one leg of that tripod starts to weaken, the entire structure is at risk.

I ran across a pretty good explainer video from the WSJ yesterday on just this topic (or at least the "it's getting harder to insure" bits), mostly addressing California and wildfire, but also mentioning Florida and coastal storms.

Looking for a good text treatment, that's not as easy to find at the moment.
> I know a lot of people (including myself) have "sell home, move to a lower cost-of-living area, roll excess cash into retirement funds" as part of their retirement plan.

Which is why almost any talk of trying to actually make systemic, long-term fixes to the housing market--to move it back towards something that provides housing for actual people instead of an investment vehicle for those (shrinking few) who are lucky enough to get on the property ladder--feels doomed to failure. That this situation sustains means that people who have spent many years in a place that is a high cost-of-living area will not be able to retire there unless, again, they got lucky on the property ladder.

On a macro level, people will say that they want fixes and that people should be able to find housing near jobs and all of that. But, at the individual level, rising housing prices that stay high over the long term are beneficial to so many people in a way that, were it to change, would fundamentally crash their post-work prospects. So everyone who owns property is scared to death of that being undermined, to the point that it is, intentional or not, an "I got mine don't touch it" situation.

I know that's a bluntly unfair way to put it because people are simply playing the game as it exists, but that it's unfair doesn't mean it's not also true.

It's almost like police officers signed up for a career that puts them at risk. They need to accept this risk and act like more civil servants than bullies with dangerous toys. There also needs to be more focus on deescalation than "fuck it let's just bomb him" which would also make officers much more safe.

There is no reason to believe that the existence of a sunshade would provide increased motivation to use more fossil fuels. Those feedback mechanisms are uncoupled. People use fossil fuels because they are cheap and available, the sunshade does nothing to affect their cheapness and availability.
On the contrary, cars are the vastly more alienating vehicle. You're in a sound dampened box closed off from every single human being around you. You can't even quickly pull over to chat if you spot a neighbor because the thing is way too big for that.

When I see neighbors driving a car, the most interaction I get is a wave - if they see me at all. However if I'm biking or walking, I will absolutely stop and chat because it's completely natural and human to do that.

Actually, you know what, I'm gonna stop. We don't need any more emotional reactions adding to the noise, no matter how many facts the reactions may be pointing out.

Let me just say, there were a lot of things wrong with this takedown as it is being described. My own hope is that there is a lot more to this story than what is being told. If not, it points to poor policy, poor training, and poor judgement. I'll just point out that only one of those is the fault of the officers on site, and leave it at that.

Bulma – The Most Underrated Framework of the CSS Framework Era
Everyone was using a CSS Framework to simplify their work and save their time, Bootstrap was and is King Right Now of the Frameworks Market. Every Institute, Almost Every Tutorial on YouTube was using Bootstrap, Developers were not learning Fundamentals of CSS and using Bootstrap. I was also a beginner at that time, I learned HTML and CSS from W3schools and Lynda. Then I used a lot of floats to make web pages, and kinda like the way.

Responsive Design was my next goal, so CSS Framework was the Easiest way for Responsiveness, I tried to read docs and watched Bootstrap Videos but Bootstrap terrified me with lots of classes and inconvenient naming, and I didn't like to use bootstrap cause I think every website using Bootstrap looks quite similar it also applies styles on element as defaults, I tried two or more times but didn't get Bootstrap in my mind, so I found some alternatives like Foundation and Material, but they were just like Bootstrap. I just wanted to make my site Responsive, and then I found the video of Brad Traversy Skeleton CSS

I loved Skeleton CSS but now their devs are not updating it, its not based on CSS grid or Flexbox. There were some confusions in it, and Then I found Bulma , I was just using YouTube as usual and then I came to Bulma.css Tutorial Video tagged “The Easiest Framework You can learn in 20 minutes”, Hmm I watched it and it really changed my life, It was really the easiest framework, even you don't have to remember the classes and there are some of the advantages :

No default Styling
Powerful Flexbox Grid
Small Size in Kbs
Reusable and You can modify Sass
No Javascript only CSS
Reusable Components
I am Kinda Obsessed with Bulma(I think) But You can give it a try.

I joked that taking my money without explanation made for a fascinating legal spectacle. Its not that I care about the 400 euro, I'm honestly interested in their explanation in court. How an agreed exchange can be canceled by one party keeping the money. You can write whatever you like in a TOS legally its a joke, everyone knows this. I know it is no your decision but someone some day should have Google (you) explain for this business formula? or should that be theft? Who knows!

At that point they quickly restored my account. ha-ha
In other words, designers want to control my experience, which conflicts with my desire to control my own experience.

If the "designer" of a web page were able to send me plain text and links only, with my client application in control of the font, size, line width, layout, etc, I would prefer that to current state of the web.
In both of those cases I am assuming the position of the bad guy/psychopath. Making allusions to pop culture isn't "citing" it. It's 1. a call to lighten up over a discussion of hypotheticals and 2. to appreciate that the philosophy of these greater good problems is nothing new.
Satellites in low orbits will experience some amount of drag from a tiny bit of atmosphere, and will naturally de-orbit in a few years unless they are actively boosted. Also, regulators are very aware of the dangers and require all satellites (in any orbit) to have a de-orbit plan and schedule.
This is off the mark and here's why: The schools wouldn't be paying them, private businesses would be paying them for endorsements.

If the schools were paying them, then talking about fairness between sports (Football vs Swimming for example) at least makes sense. Personally, I'm not against the schools directly paying athletes different amounts based on their individual worth because this is exactly how the labor market works (and the NFL too). This is how academic scholarships work too, the better "candidate" you are, the more money the school gives you to enroll. But note that this is not what all this is about.

The problem is that the NCAA is dictating what an athlete can do with their own time outside of sports. This is like Google prohibiting employees from getting paid to teach a class on the Go Programming Language because they learned it on the job. Or the engineer who created Go to get paid to give a speech about it at a conference. Or even prohibiting a famous Google employee from appearing in a car commercial for the local Tesla dealership. If we saw these examples in a newspaper, we would say: "wow, that's not right, Google can't do that!". And there would also be lawsuits against google.
It was two guards that both fell asleep. Okay that might be coincidence. What about the two cameras that failed at the same time? They should publish failure rates of cameras at that facility.

When was the last time two sets of electronics failed at the exact same time randomly? If there was a voltage spike or something that killed them both how come it didn't affect anything else at the facility? Maybe they were EMP'ed or something? Okay that sounds fantastical, but I hope they do answer questions. There is likely an innocent explanation to all this, but there should be a thorough investigation.
Yeah, I've been a fan of it for a few years, but I must have missed the invite on that one.
Native speaker of Castillian Spanish here. IMO the most critical sentence in this judicial order was mistranslated by GitHub, changing our understanding of the government's request and casting GitHub's response in a more negative light (if you believe information and communication tools should be free.)

The original language in the last paragraph is "...para solicitar la retención del contenido y los datos relacionados con la investigación antes mencionada."

The Github English translation of this is (caps are mine) "...in order to request both WITHHOLDING the content and data related to the aforementioned investigation."

However, I believe a more accurate translation is "...in order to request PRESERVATION of the content and data related to the aforementioned investigation."

If you look up the Spanish verb "retener", it can have, broadly, two applicable meanings in this case: "withhold" or "preserve".

I don't believe the language in the order should have been interpreted as "withhold", because they are ordering to perform an action on the content AND the "data related to the [...] investigation." This would be IP addresses, access timestamps, GitHub account information, etc., I would presume. It doesn't make much sense to "withhold" that sort of data. It makes more sense to "preserve" it.

To me, this appears to be a request to preserve data, not to remove data.

A case can therefore be made that the GitHub decision to remove content went above and beyond what was expressed in the received written order.

Or was it clever, manipulative and a powerful demonstration of knowledge on how events would pan out?
Modern satellites (included Starlink) are much better at this than they used to be. However it'd be nice if there was some treaty, agreement, or body that defines and maybe enforces proper retiring of satellites and management of space debris.
I think some amount of clumping might be expected before dispersal, depending on material properties.
Actually, you are right, I was talking as if the shades are just orbiting the Sun.

L1 orbits do require station keeping.

Perhaps you could cheat a bit by making the shades black or oscilating/slanting them a bit forward/rearwards as to do the station keeping with very little fuel?
Or shaping them like a lense to direct most light away from Earth, but not to experience too much net force?

Or they are just designed to be expendable?
The NCAA is the textbook definition of an illegal cartel and is used by economists to illustrate abusive behavior. As it stands today it is the most flagrant violator of US antitrust laws - they don’t really want a public fight with an institution that has the power to investigate and regulate their behavior.

The more I code the more I appreciate statically typed languages.

When I learned/started coding, I liked dynamically typed languages. It was easier to get past compiler. My code seemed to do something. And if there was anything wrong in the way, it would just continue to execute making me feel that my code is at least doing something.

Now more into programming, I don't want to go back to duck-typed languages. I like when compiler gives me guarantees along with exceptions being thrown at runtime when something goes wrong, crashing the program and noticing it immediately that something is wrong.

I think language people also recognizes benefits.

- PHP7 allows using strict types.

- Python has static type support

- Javasript -> Typescript

Disclaimer: Have used php, tried ruby. Using C# and javascript. Looking forward to typescript.

Do dynamic language people:
1. Write more tests?
2. Have more defective code?
3. Are better at writing code?
4. Maybe there is just no correlation between code correctness and static/dynamic lang. I just wrote down MY feelings.
