Spreadsheet-Driven Customization is a great way to enable non-technical users to customize and configure software.

I used that technique for a one-off Java application back in 2011. The Java application did not do any live synchronization with the spreadsheet like Wildcard does. It just read the spreadsheet at application start-up to get configuration data needed to drive the application logic.

Spreadsheet-driven customization allowed the application's users to edit the spreadsheet to grow and maintain the dataset that drove the application logic.

I would not be surprised if others have done something similar before me.

A lot of autocomplete systems will put text into the document FOR you, like when you press enter or space or something. It is infuriating. Having the suggestions that you can access if you want is usually fine, but sometimes also having that bubble pop up and cover code below or above that you need to see is also infuriating.

Yes, but it's less than half the active rolling stock. 538 vs 648 of the 7000 series, and and there are still 100 more 7000 series cars yet to arrive, which will lead to more retirement of the older cars. Once the 8000 series starts arriving in 2024, the end of carpeted trains (which will by then be...I dunno, less than a third of the cars?) will be very near.

I internally editorialized your first statement to be "all the possible [finite] byte sequences contain all the possible programs".

Because you cannot enumerate all infinite byte sequences, according to Cantor's diagonal argument as linked earlier. [1]

Calling certain numerical representations "computer programs" in no way changes the fundamentals. There is no way -- no matter how clever your encoding -- to enumerate all real numbers.

Good day HN.

I know it's a question that has already been asked, where everyone has their own concepts.

Parent here. I would love better public transit in more places. Herding the family around on buses and trains is relatively easy, and the kids enjoy it. It's visiting grandparents out in the suburbs that sucks. Cars are expensive enough as it is, and cars big enough to accommodate a family of more than four can be a real financial hit.

Back when I lived in a town that had a car-free street, it seemed like the people at the retirement home on that mall had it fairly good. Even the folks with limited mobility were still out on the sidewalk, living in the world and interacting with the wider community. Compare to my grandmother who's living in an area with no sidewalks. She basically never goes outside - can't go outside - except for brief moments when going to and from the car. It's a life without much sunlight. It's bleak.

My suspicion is that a lot of the fewer cars whataboutism comes from having never known anything different, and therefore being stuck imagining that a world with fewer cars would be the kind of environment they're used to, minus the cars, and not much else. It can be so much more than that, though. It's amazing how much great stuff a community has to forego in order to make room for all the cars. They take up so much space. Physically, but also financially and psychologically.

I'd buy Tesla Powerwalls¹ and charge 'em up. One of them can store upto 13.5 kWh of energy and going by your comment below (190 kWh/30 days = 6.3 kWh/day, which seems in line with "I have an extra KW of power generation for ~8 hours" for peak days), it seems two of them costing $14k as per their calculator can handle 4 days worth of surplus.

Not sure if the economics would work out in your favor² but I personally consider going off-the-grid worth the cost.

Thanks! "View source mindset" is a nice word for what we're trying to promote with this project.

Brittle site-specific logic is indeed a challenge. So far we've started with the simplest thing possible of programmers manually writing scraping code, so we can focus on how the system works once you have the data available. That has been enough to test the system out and build lots of useful modifications ourselves.

I think eventually some degree of automation will be an important way to help end users use this tool with any website. The "wrapper induction" problem has been well studied and there are lots of working solutions for end-user web scraping, so I expect to be able to integrate some of that work.

We're also interested in a community of shared scrapers, but as you point out there are security considerations. I'm considering trying central code review from the project to approve new site adapters and make sure they aren't doing anything obviously malicious. Another solution could be carefully restricting the expressivity of our scraping system (eg only specify CSS selectors, no arbitrary code) but I doubt that would be sufficient for all cases. Would appreciate any suggestions here.
It makes a bit of sense. If you use all energy, you a) generate heat b) increase your energy consumption habits. The alternative is of course to reflect the sunlight. Not that this one case would make a difference, but still makes sense as a mindset.

Not if their work doesn’t really differentiate the product. I have all the research I need about products from the internet, so I don’t need a store employee to sell me anything. Same with many other low paying positions. They are low paying because customers aren’t valuing the extra benefits of a non plug and play staff.

In the next one to two months, your risk is mainly having shared a flight with someone who has coronavirus and being forced into 14 day quarantine.

Later, your chance of actually contracting coronavirus during the flight goes up. Your chance of contracting it in Madrid depends on the prevalence of the disease there relative to Krakow, and on the density of your social contacts in Madrid relative to Krakow. Generally, it would be easier to self-isolate at home, while tourism involves a lot of contacts.

Good feedback, and I agree. We just have the one, but it's not enough.
You have a point, but the most useful answer is that science does not work that way, in practice. By the time the textbooks are written, a clear answer has emerged, but science happens in the time when there are competing theories. The significance of Copernicus was that he was on the right track to a greater understanding than any refinements to epicyclic heliocentric models would likely achieve.

> I fail to see any evidence for how 'direct democracy' is the primary, or even relevant social artifact which drove the special directive highlighted in the article (i.e. cancellation of public events), or even any evidence that such 'direct democracy' provides superior social organization.

The thread you're commenting on so far has gone like this:

OP: "See a democracy can institute sweeping authoritarian-like bans, but with the will and blessing of the people"

Next: "I'm Swiss and it's because the government isn't our enemy, it is an extension of us"

You: "Nope it's because y'all are wealthy, that's the only reason y'all will survive!"

Grandparent: "uh dude the government system has been around longer than the wealth"

You: "I don't see why the government system matters, it's the money!"

The reason you're being downvoted is because you came into a conversation specifically about how the democracy of Switzerland is able to act quicky with a decree that could be viewed as an authoritarian-like policy, but with the implied general will (to use Rousseau's term for Sovereignty in political philosophy) of the people, and said "I don't see the effectiveness of this quick decisive action of democratic government, instead it's about the money they have!"
I think a bigger hurdle is that consumer service ISPs have restrictions on self-hosting. If it wasn't that way then I can see more self-hosting being a norm especially with some consumer routers playing as host at least for some devices attached (external HDDs particularly).
King St. in Toronto is a kind of hybrid project[0] where cars have local access, but must turn either right or left at a bunch of intersections. On-street parking is gone.

Yeah, that's true. If you walk through a standard GIS toolbox you'll notice that it covers a _lot_ of ground. It's difficult to make all these tools equally generic and straightforward. If you are running ArcGIS or QGIS you're already in "advanced user mode", in my opinion.

I'm not sure how common your use case is, but maybe it does need some simpler option (does it exist in Google Earth maybe?). I think a lot of the improvements are in the form of data authoring and presentation. Even just, "hey here's a public participation map of jogging/biking routes, all measured out and hand-optimized for avoiding traffic lights. Check it out and add your own!" has gone from impossible to pretty easy since I began in the field.
Most people associate Visual Basic with, well, Visual Basic (as in VB6 or VB.net), not with VBA. Even the top voted comment refers to VB6. "VBA editor" instead of "VB editor" would solve the confusion I guess.
Yes, if you're in the position to find a job elsewhere, do it. This is an uphill battle that you don't need to fight. And there's no guarantee that you would win -- reason is of no use here. The most perfectly-constructed rebuttal will not be effective.
I am not the person you were originally responding to.

You don't have to enumerate all real numbers to create a mapping from real numbers to infinite byte sequences.

I am merely pointing out that the first statement only becomes false if you editorialize it to "all the possible [finite] byte sequences contain all the [infinite] possible programs". If you treat the meaning of "possible" consistently in that sentence, I believe it remains true regardless of whether you define infinity as possible or not.
Assuming the panels are connected to the grid, then the power will be consumed by neighbors - not wasted.

EDIT: I see it was right there in the first line of the post that the plan is to unplug from the grid. I would reconsider this decision. If you stay connected, you can share your excess capacity - if not then you use it or lose it. Why put yourself in that position?
For reference, I use a trio of 3700 servers to run Sufficient Velocity -- a fairly large webforum.

That's already overkill. It's nice having the spare capacity, but it would be absolutely foolish to lease a full-blown EPYC trio.

Building megasocieties didn’t require divine intervention, study says (2019)
The cell wasn't meant to be the main cpu at any point. It was thought that it could be the GPU. Sony out a separate GPU in later and left the CPU, GPU and cell all mixed together.

Also a lot of great stuff was eventually done with the cell. Hacks and tricks are great in small quantities, but the reality was that the cell had lots of power and potential, but sony have developers practically nothing to start. The documentation and examples were supposedly basically nothing.

Even for the CPU and Nvidia GPU each game studio had to come up with their own low level drawing. Studios were really starting from scratch with very little help from Sony. Add in that supposedly the cell required fine grained cache control and scheduling, and suddenly it starts to make sense why it left lots of studios frustrated. Sony marketed its power and then left studios to spin their wheels trying to live up to consumer's expectations.
Most people in France spend more around 1500€ to 2000€ in practice, especially if you've not trained with your family before (on a parking for example), and since it's very common to fail the practical exam once.
No. If I wanted to stay in games, I’d have 100% stayed with that crew at Papyrus then Sierra and then gone to iRacing with them. Excellent colleagues all around: super talented, super interesting to work and eat/BS with.

I wanted a family and financial security and the game industry wasn’t going to take me where I wanted to go (and I worked on generally successful titles for a successful company; most game devs have it even worse). The Sierra Online acquisition was great; loved meeting and talking about games with Ken and Roberta, but then the subsequent spate of acquisitions just killed a lot of the joy and essence of what made the day-to-day work fun, so that also made it easier to leave.
Yes, it requires polite, clean, courteous people -- like in Japan. It is possible, but it depends on the culture.

Are precisely the kinds of people less likely to be able to drive. Accessible and convenient public transit is a better option for them, provided of course that it's accessible and convenient throughout their journey - that means sidewalks, intersections, transit stops, building access, etc.

If families with 4 kids don't need a vehicle at all, it's a huge financial benefit for them. Here in Canada a mini-boat on wheels large enough to accommodate such a family is friggin' expensive. Cities tend to have free or very cheap tickets for kids, so if you can get away with doing commutes by transit and have a Corolla for weekend errands and groceries that you don't have to shove all 4 into, you win $1000s every year.
