Tangentially related. I hadn't heard of SiriusXM before so checked out their website. The homepage is a bit confusing and I'm not 100% sure what it is or why I need to pay separately if I listen inside or outside of a car? I get that it's a music streaming service of sorts just not sure what their angle is exactly. Spotify for instance doesn't care where I listen to the music I'm just paying to stream it wherever I want.
Why Smart Engineers Do Stupid Things: Local vs. Global Optimization
That doesn't matter, though. No one else touches the device.
For icons I prefer Unicode characters, which are text already built into the OS and made available by the browser. There is nothing to download. Some of these icons are colorful graphics. Like SVGs they are always vectors that can be scaled with CSS.

Animated graphics are nice only as a substitution for text content when text content should be eliminated or is not available. One example is waiting for data from a remote computer, such as a spinner. Another example is waiting on CPU time at the local computer, such as building or compiling something. A third example is a software defect that blocks the display of requested text content.
We learned this lesson in 2016 during the Bitcoin scaling wars.
The path to global unit of account does not begin with "medium of exchange" it begins with "store of value".

The primary purpose of Bitcoin is to be a store of value (the definition of money), without this achievement it cannot evolve to a medium of exchange (definition of currency).
This style is not new. The earliest planned community in Reston VA built 50 years ago [1] uses this approach, except the housing is more integrated.

Housing above the shops and immediately adjacent produces the ambiance of a walkable community around a lake.

Still, it has to be surrounded by parking lots. There’s just no way around it unless you move all the work and the schools there too.

> get makers pay some nominal fee for hosting

It doesn't work well and for obvious reasons.

If you're an indie producer, you don't necessarily have the money to keep paying for hosting indefinitely. Instead you want to upload your work somewhere where it will always be available, for free. Vimeo charges producers instead of consumers and they are struggling — if you have a commercial website that has to serve content from somewhere, then sure, it's a great deal, but not if you're a hobbyist.

By charging producers such services are basically shooting themselves in the foot — because if you don't attract producers, you won't get an audience either. Plus the ongoing costs (bandwidth and processing capacity) are generated by visitors and not producers.

This partially explains YouTube's success — as a producer you can just upload to YouTube, it doesn't cost you anything and YouTube brings you the audience ;-)

I don't think schizophrenia has any dependence on visual input at all. This is just a probability problem, since the combined probability of both occurring is very small, as the separate probabilities are already small; Anyone that has a brain can have the disease, blind or not; The disease itself is very little understood. For example, when I was a child I had visions and heard voices. I would go to sleep and then, in the middle of the night I would wake up and start seeing things around me, hundreds of voices talking, light beings, etc. Some would call me a schizophrenic, some a medium. I could be both, could be neither;

I the schizophrenic people I know are afraid of authority and avoid anything that might diagnose them. It takes a forceful family member to get them to a doctor (or in one case the prison system), and constant attention to get them to take the treatments. In general if they are not a harm to society or themselves it is best to let them live alone in a small town (small town because it gives the town gossips something useful to talk about: the talk helps ensure everybody knows to watch out for the victim, and small ensures even new people in town know about the situation)

Note, my sample size is far too small to draw universal conclusions about schizophrenic.

This is why I don't understand the sad conclusion of the story in the article. The driver knew that AutoPilot had issues with that stretch of the freeway and was able to repeat the issues on several occasions but still thought it best to be on his phone, while driving 71 mph, at the mercy of AutoPilot? Especially considering that he was an engineer who had expressed concern over this, it seems silly to me that he wouldn't just take over manually during that stretch... He didn't and now he's gone because of it. It's not worth the risk/reward.
Sure there is, as much as I dislike C, no one is going to port the existing UNIX and POSIX clones to something else.

Correct it's no vibrant, bustling organic downtown.

But it's still a helluva lot better than nothing at all.

The suburbs I grew up in? There were a bunch of shitty strip malls, and a single indoor mall with a single food court with zero natural lighting, taken over by teenagers after school because it was literally the only place to congregate besides the parking lot outside the supermarket.

There was no local "center" at all for community.

This kind of development would have been a huge life upgrade. Yes it's still built around parking -- but if life is already built around cars in suburbia, there's literally no alternative. Without parking, nobody can get there in the first place.

This article seems to be dismissing the better because it only wants the perfect.

Edit: to people replying this is still terrible or no better than a mall... look at the photos. This has paths to stroll along, a waterfront, trees, outdoor dining/cafes, building facades that aren't horrible to look at the way painted flat concrete is. You can hang out here and it looks nice. I think some people here must just not be aware of how horrible and ugly strip malls and 1970's-era indoor malls can be. This is objectively a gigantic upgrade for some people.

Not sure whether the expansion of this 'psychological debt model' is desirable. Because it's impossible to quantify such debts without money, it becomes more difficult to optimize allocation. Maybe the people in the woods haven't found water during many days. Suppose I have some water. More than I'd need for now, but not enough to last for years. I would not be inclined to give any to them. Sure, the woods people might make me a meal or sing for me which is nice, but my water supply is ultimately a guarantee for my long term survival. But if they did have even the concept of money, they might offer a high price, a price that allows me to say 'hey, with these resources i could build a house/attract a partner/drive away in a lambo and that's more useful to me than one month out of my seven months of water'. The antropologies make a compelling case for a different precursor to money and these gift economies are very similar to a money based economy. But money does offer the additional benefit of value quantification and security of deposits.
Additionally, there are pre-built tools designed for exactly this purpose (e.g. acme-dns), so it's not like you even have to write any code to set this up.
Isn't that a bit irrelevant? If we are talking about patterns that work well for the user, clearly writing everything traditionally and then going back and taking pictures of everything is a cumbersome process. Writing on iPad or similar is clearly the medium in which this shines, at which point you do capture the strokes.

Delta[0] applies syntax highlighting to the code sections of git and diff output, and uses background colors (instead of +/-) to indicate added / removed content. It's written in Rust, and uses the same syntax highlighting library as bat[1]. In fact, any bat configuration that you already have in place (color theme, custom themes/language support) is automatically honored by delta. Delta also infers and highlights substrings that differ between lines (similar to Github, Gitlab and other diff viewers) and removes visual clutter from Git and diff output.

But that assumes reducing line count is the goal; one could argue that functional constructs like that sacrifice length in favor of complexity / cleverness.

Mind you I do like and prefer functional style, I've done a lot of the iteration style processing back in Java 1.5 and never gone back to that yet. Functional style expresses the 'what', whereas iterative style spends a lot of code expressing the 'how'.

I'd spread the operations out over multiple lines, one operation per line at least. But that's a personal style preference.

Sorry to reply twice, but I think there's more here to address.

First, the thing about cars doesn't work even for individuals, because it's not comparable. Buying an all-new spacecraft or aircraft isn't anything like buying a car. Cars are engineered and designed for a market, and manufactured in quantities of tens to hundreds of thousands or more. This is more like getting an extremely custom house built for yourself (think something like a Frank Lloyd Wright house, not a subdivision house): you have to find someone who can architect it, and someone to build it. Neither of these is easy because the house is entirely unique and not even like other houses. It's not something you can just go pay someone to do and not think much about, like you can with a car: you have to be actively involved in the design and construction process.

>If the government started bidding out smaller real hardware contracts to new companies

What companies have these abilities? Would you have a super-custom mansion designed and built by some random guy you met on a street corner? Of course not. You have to find someone who can actually do the work, and you have to be careful because a bunch of people will claim they can do it, but they really can't, so you can't accept their bids, and that means you have to do a lot of work in verifying they're capable of delivering.

Building a new spacecraft or airplane isn't trivial, and isn't something some small company can just do, like you seem to believe. How is a new company going to start up that can actually do these things? The only reason SpaceX worked out is because a billionaire started it as a hobby project, and even there, it's been at it for well over a decade now. Same goes for Blue Origin: it wouldn't exist if it weren't for some billionaire who apparently had nothing better to do with his time. Even going back to the old days, this is what happened with TWA and Hughes aviation: Howard Hughes was a billionaire who inherited his fortune and got bored with oil drilling bits. You can't just award a hardware contract to some tiny company that has no ability to deliver on the contract in a reasonable timeframe.

No, I'm not able to simulate any of that, in the way I think you mean. I can predict the outcomes, but I can't at all claim to be experiencing any of it. It involves no more sensation than reading words on a page.

(Which is to say, none. I understand that that can also vary. The only time that changes is when I'm dreaming. So I know what experience I'm not getting, I suppose.)

I have no assumptions about schizophrenia, I just paraphrased how the definitions of the ICD-10 work. The fact of suffering is the distinction between a mental disorder and a quirky personality.

Think of it as a continuous spectrum from the idealized normal person (the center of a bell curve) to the person having significant problems living a normal, fulfilling life. The eccentric personality is somewhere in between.

This is all about definitions. The ICD-10 and similar categorizations essentially work by listing a number of symptons and a minimum count of symptoms a patient has to have to be diagnosed according to this definition. They don't make any assumptions about disorders existing per se.

The American 911 is more memorable, even in Europe, simply due to it appearing in popular culture so often, I hope that if someone dials that one in Europe it'll also get forwarded to a real emergency line.

Orange Bank is another option in France which is free for basic current account activities, although they don't offer Livret etc.
