With the rare exception for when the expected marketing value of having those spots or tax subsidies make installing them appear to have a positive value.

The exception that definitely proves the rule. Until it's mandatory in new construction it won't even start to become normal.

I'm curious how street parking is supposed to work, that photo is hilarious but I imagine that on the streets of Boston where you'll get hit with a bat over trying to save a parking spot (or trying to use a saved parking spot, it's Boston in the winter).

I have the feeling you're going to see better adoption in suburbs and lower density urban areas first because the range doesn't need to be so high but it's also not impossible to have a consistent parking space (or garage or driveway) that you can invest in improving. I'd probably have to get a special variance from the city to install an outlet in the sidewalk...

One part of it is that in many urban areas, the intent is to reduce the number of cars, not necessarily provide accommodation for them (gas or electric.)
It will be “Moore” if you talk about “improving performance” (not that the law actually is) as vendors start integrating more and more custom silicon to accelerate various things (eg neural engines, more dsps, etc). So you may still see computers get faster and faster even though it’s not the CPU itself being the one getting faster. That being said cpu design isn’t dead. It’s just more expensive for companies than the traditional “well a new process node will fix it” like the work Apple did with the M1 (which they took advantage of the newer process mode to really put the nail in the coffin).
It fits nicely in a backpack or bag...
It doesn't have to entrench the political parties, depending on the system used. For example the people tasked with drawing each district could be selected from the general public by sortition, i.e. like jury duty.

These people would be given access to every tool and expert help they need, and if they wanted to just rubber-stamp the suggestion of whichever party they support, then they would be free to do so.

A slightly more deterministic process would be to generate a list of all parties (or independent candidates) who received more than 10% of the vote at the last election, and allow each of them to draw a number of districts in proportion to the share of the vote they received.

> I think the large things in my admittedly limited experience were hooks and context API.

Which, sure, is where a lot of the new goodies are going, but in enterprise land (where I recall working on apps that were .NET 2.0 and .NET 1.1 that were first written well after either was current and are still, AFAIK, being maintained, and on those platforms) writing apps with the still-fully-support class components and ignoring the newfangled options would be completely within the scope of normal approaches. Having new options doesn’t make something less stable, not supporting the old way of doing things is unstable.

> you gotta keep going frantically just to stay up to date with the newest libs and toys and APIs and current group think

AFAICT, there’s no active platform where that’s not true, if you want to stay up to date with the newest libs and toys and APIs and current group think.

In enterprise land, though, we typically (at least for any given product team, and often at a larger organizational level) tend to go to the opposite extreme: we plant our flag someplace that was out-of-fashion of the hipsters for years before we even started the project, and nothing that doesn’t actually break what we have built that happens after that really matters. Pushing things out of that rut often takes effort.
> The defining characteristic of a district is that it is geographically contiguous.

That mattered a lot pre-internet, but theoretically that isn't as important now computers can be used to check 1 voter = 1 vote.

Districts could be redefined to mean something assigned randomly at birth, by lot or people could choose what district to belong to without living there.

From that perspective, any method of dividing the community up is pretty arbitrary.

How do you compare with RawGraphs? https://app.rawgraphs.io/
I hear what you're saying, and I agree that MS could have done much more to allow consistent theming by the user. But, I also know that even a beginner WPF tutorial shows how to arbitrarily adjust controls with a resource dictionary. Meanwhile, I don't recall ever learning how to change the color of a win32/c++ button short of taking over the entire drawing responsibility (I'm sure it's possible but that's beside the point). So as a result of that emphasis, it seems to me a lot more WPF/UWP apps use arbitrary non-standard colors/fonts/highlights/animations, which would be completely at odds with user-selected themes. I know mine did, anyway, so I guess I was part of the problem!
I took liberty to look through the literature and it seems change of physical and chemical properties of material due to all types conditions (including physical stresses) is covered by the term.

I am not into mechanical science that much, I have always treated degradation as a kind of surface or volume phenomena where the material looses its properties due to temperature, radiation, age, chemical reaction, etc. For mechanical effects there are already very good terms like metal fatigue and stress induced cracking.

Hydroxychloroquine was never anything other than pure political propaganda.

Pure believers were not only kept in line because of the empty promises of a solution to their personal problem but also mobilized to persecute any contrasting opinion.

Given the storage formats are identical, you should choose the most cost-effective option for your workload now and scale that to larger machines (ARM or x86_64) when it’s justified.

I promise you, you’ll know with plenty of time to spare before you’re going to hit the current 64-core limit of Graviton before you need to decide if you can fit into a 128 vCPU (which I believe are hyper threads not cores) x86_64 instance.

We’re talking about the greeting, not Christmas in general. I don’t think it’s controversial that it’s considered rude now to wish a stranger Merry Christmas, but here’s a Huffington Post article that argues against it for just one example: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/happy-holidays-instead-of_1_b...

There are good reasons to know your audience before using the greeting, but it’s very rare to hear it at all in many parts of the US, which does seem strange when 90% of the country celebrates Christmas. Since Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Halloween are completely fine to say to a stranger I think it’s fair to say the greeting has been canceled, for better or worse, regardless of original intent.

Regardless, you missed the point. Which was that, frameworks come and go. The DOM and other APIs implemented by the browser, on the other hand, are here to stay. Very few things built into the browser have been taken away (such as blink and frameset).

> The implementation is kinda complex at this point

Right. And that makes failures and perf issues hard to track down.

If you know how to program using APIs and components built into the browser, that is easier at this point.
>> The people who want to go back to the "glory days" of CD's are forgetting that struggling artists existed in that day and age too

Too? I'm not sure what that has to do with Gary Numan. CDs came out in 1982. Gary Numan's first hit #1 on the UK charts was in 1979. He released a 2017 album that charted at #2. He has released music consistently for over 40 years, and there are multi-volume tribute albums of people covering his songs. And he had a side career as an aerobatic flying instructor to fall back on if everything went south. That's not a struggling artist.

The point I'm reading in this is, if someone like that is getting next to nothing back from his music being used to make people money, what chance does an actual struggling artist have?

Although I also appreciate Mick Jagger's point about the music business where he says that prior to 1970 you didn't make any money from record sales because the record companies just simply refused to pay you.
Is BBC iPLayer still geolocked to the UK? There are bunch of BBC productions that I would love to watch, that I would gladly pay money for online access, but I have not been able to.

> It's a positive thing for these ejections to be across the political spectrum, because it makes the demand for distributed moderation come from across the political spectrum.

It's a positive thing for these ejections to be across the political spectrum, because it de-politicizes censorship, and folks on one side of the spectrum cheering for the other side begin to realize that censorship is always a scope creep issue.
As a software engineer this feels like heresy, but I can't wait for the day computers stop getting faster. Shoddy software design has been bailed out time and time again by Moore's law. I'm excited by the prospect of a software industry where "tell the client to buy a faster computer" is no longer an acceptable excuse.

For example, there's room for a clean, native cross-platform application toolkit that does everything that electron does. But we don't have that. Instead application developers use electron (trading my CPU & RAM for their time). And people get angry at Apple for "only" shipping 16 gigabytes of RAM in their computers rather than angry at lazy app developers. And we don't invest in the tooling we'd need to actually fix the problem. (In this case, Electron but small and native).

Another example - as an industry we know how to make fast compilers (eg Go, Jai, V8, LuaJIT, etc). But instead most new languages (rust, pony, zig, etc) are built on top of LLVM. LLVM used to be super fast - but now even in debug mode its sluggish.

There's usually nothing wrong with old computers & phones, but we throw them out anyway because software developers buy faster computers then take shortcuts.

Yes, that’s correct. Of course, interns don’t generally work 40 hour weeks for a full year, so in practice my W2 income was more like $55k.

>> Do people... not plan ahead?

Construction companies (on average) don't look further than the point of sale. It doesn't matter if a poorly chosen element of design in an apartment building will potentially affect thousands of people over the course of decades, the incentive/risk structure just doesn't exist to make forward thinking decisions.

Its basically got to be in the building code or (almost) no one will do it.
It's almost like a "standing wave" (of the square pattern) emerged spontaneously out of a chaotic stew of probability waves, and I guess that's a better way to describe quantum mechanics at this level than to say "The Na and Cl atoms snapped together". Nothing snapped to together. This video shows a pattern emerging from pure chaos, all based on probabilities and the fact that each individual atom probability wave can only oscillate in certain patterns.

I'm pretty sure in Quantum Mechanics systems like this the entire unit behaves as one and there's no real distinction possible regarding "which is which" if you were to try to identify individual atoms. It would be like looking at a standing wave pattern in water (or any other medium) and labeling one peak "Wave A" and some peak "Wave B". You can't really do it. Because for the standing wave pattern to exist at all it has to be the entire system interaction to cause it to emerge.

I'm not saying atoms are "Standing Waves" but I'm merely making an analogy. However even from some perspective you could even say any oscillating system of wave probabilities when taken as a "system" comprises a standing wave.
Yes of course, T is always measured in the mornings as thats when its peaking. Ive probably measured my T around 5-10 times before getting on TRT. Mind you I am in my 20s, everyone was shocked. Also, not only Total T but measured Prolactin, did a contrast brain MRI, SHBG, E2, Albumin, Free T, Thyroid profile, Calcium, and a bunch of other things probably.
No, it is currently barely sufficient, certainly not great.

The scrollbar in System Settings is impossible to customise (through the GUI). Tray icons and log-off dialogue icons and the task bar appearance cannot quickly or easily customised because due to "theme"ing changing one thing also changes the other.

The maintainers screwed up and it was all downhill after version 3. Each major version introduced an incompatibility that meant that some users were forced to abandon, e.g. KDE Classic icons or window decorations BⅡ https://cdn.pling.com/img//hive/content-pre2/5965-2.png or Crystal https://cdn.pling.com/img//hive/content-pre1/13969-1.jpg
I think it becomes an application specific or domain specific thing.

For example, I've done some work with audio or video. Nobody working on that goes straight to malloc on every packet or frame. It'd just be asking for pain.

But a general purpose allocator doing its own free-list on the assumption that libc is going to suck? I think that's outdated. If you do want to support it, I think it's better to allow the caller to replace the allocator through a function pointer, rather than just do it by default in a library.
Gtk3 has a Quartz backend and Pidgin 3 will be native on Mac OS. It builds and runs now, but packaging has been a pain so I haven't worked that into our CI yet.
Very much this. Intel is not that stupid. They went in the lab, built and simulated everything to find that the penalty of extra decoding has an upper bound of a few percent perf/Watt max once you are out of the embedded space.

OTOH, apple is doing some interesting things optimizing their software stack to the store [without release] reordering that ARM does. These sorts of things are where long term advantage lies. Nobody is ever ahead in the CPU wars by some insurmountable margin in strict hardware terms.

System performance is what counts. Apple has weakish support for games, for example, so any hardware advantage they have in a vacuum is moot in that domain.

Integrated system performance and total cost of ownership are what matters.

This may be hopelessly naive - but is the rebuilt sqlite db expected to be identical? Could a sha256 hash of the file be written into the raft log at intervals, and be used as a "valid" starting point?

Ie:

log1: empty db
log2..N: changes
log3: snapshot at N
log4..M: changes

You start with empty db, and replay up to N; or if you have a db that matches log3 - start with that and only replay log4+?

Nope. The topic is about mass adoption. Not mass adoption by people who take trains or taxi in a certain city.

Even within this sub thread, it's comparing the "ease" of getting fuel and parking in nyc (neither of which are actually easy) to which charging is a mass hurdle.

Are there people who don't have access to power and security at a parking spot who drive more than 100 miles a day (and drivers that use bottles and get blood clots instead of stopping for 1hr every 250 miles), sure, but that's not the mass, it's somewhere <5%. And roughly a smaller population to whom don't need a car on a regular basis at all.

My prediction is that one day the tech community will regret not having stopped these companies cold years ago.

What am I talking about? Just search for "Google closed my account", "Facebook closed my account", "Google suspended our business advertising and email", "Facebook suspended our advertising account", "Amazon suspended my business account", etc.

These companies have been pulling the plug on people and businesses for years. When they do, there is no recourse whatsoever. It's the closest anyone will get to having to face a totalitarian regime from within a democracy.

The tech community should have revolted against this kind of treatment of individuals and businesses years ago. These companies have ruined people and destroyed businesses. Heck, they even drove people --kids-- to suicide!

Now, with Parler, Trump, the threat to Australia, this thing in the UK and more they are likely scaring the hell out of people around the world and across a wide spectrum of ideologies and circumstances.

What comes next might be easy to predict: The heavy hand of government will likely descend on them around the world. And likely so. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. What's worse, they will likely be responsible for the creation of onerous regulations that might very well damage other internet companies and make it that much more difficult to do business.

In the end, it might all be for the better. No company should have the power to destroy individuals, businesses, political organizations and even force governments with the click of a button.

That's the world we live in today. Many think Parler was the first violation of trust. It was not. Thousands have been silenced and erased all over the world before them.
no - the reason that 230 exists is because it was argued effectively that the task of moderating content was too great, to the point that it be an undue burden to internet companies.

If that is not currently the case and these companies can effectively moderate the content on their networks without driving themselves out of business with the cost, well, they don't have the justification for 230's exemption anymore.
