> The university built a dedicated ride-sharing area nearby and prohibited ride-sharing services from the plaza. This largely solved the problems (although enforcement is an ongoing issue).

I hate it when you realize the ride-sharing area is in some offsite parking lot when there's a pick-up area right at the door.

Driver should only enter the plaza with a confirmed pick-up (go wait in the designated area), not lazily relocating every ride-share.
The problem is that it is unclear that effect systems are something worth having in the first place. A type system could introduce many kinds of distinctions -- the unit allocates memory or not, the unit performs in a given worst-case time or not, etc. etc. -- but not everything it could do it also should. Every such syntactic distinction carries a cost with it (it tends to be viral), and for each specific distinction, we should first establish that the benefits gained outweigh those costs. Otherwise, it's just another property among many that a programming language may have, whose value is questionable.
Sorry it is falling down for you. I find that Neo4J community edition is perfectly functional - as long as you don't need to scale to multiple servers, then you have to pay.

re: untenable: can you give us some more details? JVM tuning? Neo4J specific?

TBO, I use RDF datastores about 10x my use of Neo4J, but I appreciate their free edition. Another vendor who handles free vs. commercial well (in my opinion) is GraphDB, where the free edition is scalable to the largest single server you want to run it on, but only allows 2 simultaneous connections.

Some un-solicited advice: if you really need to scale a large graph database, look at BlazeGraph that supports both property graphs and RDF. It is fast, injests data very quickly, and just a few servers run all of WikiData. That codebase became Amazon Neptune, BTW.

A lot of my meaningful contacts and relationship building has been because I didn't put down the phone. Being an introvert in a crazy extrovert world is insanely draining.

Social media, digital communication and so forth has surely saved a huge part of my life. It has opened doors, allowed me to connect and establish friendships with people all over the world. It allows me to keep in touch with remote friends and close ones alike. All in all summing up to the feeling that I am less lonely.

Excluding Corona time this also means that I have people to actually meet when I want to go out. So it is not a replacement for "real life" meeting with people. It is an augmentation.

Each to their own; but I personally am somewhat tired of the constant norm of bashing on "digital" and phone and so forth.

My experience is that you have to "play dumb" not to get kicked off. The last time I was impaneled, the prosecutor asked if I, as a juror, would be comfortable if the injured party (an assault case) did not testify. I said, sure, since the prosecution wasn't representing them.

I didn't mean to be glib, but it got me dismissed immediately. It seems to me that any knowledge of law or procedure will get you dismissed.

point is, if you want to be on a jury, work hard NOT to give away any knowledge of the legal system.

I heavily use the desktop program at http://onemodel.org (AGPL, I'm the author). I hope in the future to make it easier to install, and move it from scala to rust (edit: and hopefully from postgres to sqlite). Feedback welcome.

Edits: It is my "self-program" for life as I learn, make plans, tasks, calendar, study topics, work on habits, map out details of things, track contacts, etc, etc. Progress has slowed due to health limitations, but I still have many plans. It is text- and keyboard-oriented, feels today like "endless lists of fast recursively nested lists", very physically efficient, can export to html or numbered or indented text outlines, import (somewhat) from text files, show an activity log by date (~"journal"), can store files (not slick, but works), etc.

It is, today, a .jar and you have to install a JRE and postgresql and follow documented config steps. For me at least, the best thing for this that i have found. Code in github.

Another future feature is like sharing, so it becomes like a (selectively) public wiki+gopher server, with updates selectively synchronizable across instances. Down the road, hopefully. And embedded code associated with entry types.

No, it's not. Most YouTube users have a different primary music app.

I was thinking today we need a communal collection of diagram templates that we can reach for instead of re-making our own each time.

I shouldn’t have to re-adjust my mental model because of some stylistic/level-of-detail decisions by the author.

These diagrams would be interactive too.

Many systems are very similar in what they do. There are many times I am asking myself: “but how is this different from <well known architecture pattern>”.

Think about categories like append-only logs, search indexing, web requests, git trees, etc.

I’d love to be able to diff against two diagrams to the same problem and see how the approaches differ.
I find FireTV stick (from Amazon) to be applying in this respect, it doesn't appear to know command that direct them input to a specific app. When I have Google open and ask it to search for $search-string it will do it in the Amazon store context, ie offer to sell me a program rather than find the string on Google.

Annoying. It relates to the lack of discoverability in voice interfaces, there may be an incantation to get the behaviouyr I want but there's no way within the interface that such methods is revealed.

I don't even know what to say to this. Designated by whom? The whole expansion of essential work from medicine and food and literal essentials all the way to, well, the oscars has been a joke. We're in this awful middle ground of half-assed extreme measures. They're watered down enough to not stamp things out, but still followed enough to make us all miserable.

I'm not then risking paying for the service with the risk that it still has commercials.)

In the first (bigger case), it was clearly fraud (exit scam) as the CEO sold some coins very cheaply and gave away some crypto to anyone who signed up. The amount was 150+ million USD [1]. Second exchange had financial problems likely because they lost some money by keeping their assets in Lira or Dollars. This whole saga will of course cause panic in the "investors" which might cause other dominos to fall in coming weeks.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/26/us/san-francisco-drug-cri...

Here's a current article written by a local advocate, its unfortunately paywalled but you're probably aware of ways around that.

Here's a snippet:

I called Thomas Wolf, one of the loudest critics of the city’s policies, to run past him what I was hearing from professors and other experts who have spent their lives studying drug use.

“Forgive me for saying this,” Mr. Wolf politely told me, “but those people who you said you talked to — the experts — they have never shot dope, man. They never stuck a needle in their neck. They never spent a night on the street.”

Mr. Wolf has done all of those things, which makes him one of the most poignant voices in the debate over what San Francisco should do to address an epidemic that claimed 713 lives last year, more than twice as many as died from the coronavirus in the city in 2020.

“You can study homelessness and addiction in a book all day long,” Mr. Wolf told me. “But until you have experienced the power of addiction and the things you thought you would never resort to, you don’t really understand.”

> "Value to society" is the summation of "value to individuals".

I disagree, not necessarily, and probably not in the case of unnecessary personal transportation (which is most of it). Everyone in society profits from fire fighters or hospitals, even when they don't need either just this instance. That's not the same for some luxury that some/most people enjoy and want everyone to fund.

> Arguing that people should not have personal transportation is arguing that "we" have the right to dictate people's lifestyles to them.

And we do, and we don't consider that an issue. People shouldn't have personal nuclear bombs, even though some would like to. Also, few people are arguing that personal transportation shouldn't exist, just that the required infrastructure should be funded differently.

Yes totally agree on the benefits of early detection — easier to identify eg. once the desired crop is larger than, say 10mm, then just fire the laser on anything green that is less than 2mm, adjust those parameters as required as the crop matures, also getting them early means less laser energy required to kill it, longer battery life, larger acreage covered
> The size of that "huge graph of objects" is bounded, which makes the time taken to release it predictable.

By the same line of reasoning, since the total size of the heap is bounded, it makes the time taken to sweep through it predictable.
> have you seen the prices of housing, healthcare, childcare, education and retirement for over the last 5 years?

“retirement” isn’t a good or service.

Childcare has inflated slightly faster than general inflation over the last 5 yeara (2.22%/yr vs. 1.86%/yr).

Healthcare has inflated a bit faster (medical care @ 2.46%/yr, hospital and related services @ 3.89%); health insurance, has been notably higher (in large parts due to the federal government failure to follow the law on the ACA) @ 5.98%/yr.

Education has inflated much more rapidly than general inflation, @ 29.15%/yr.

So, what? That’s how aggregates work. Obviously, we could just as easily find a list of consumer goods and services where inflation is lower than general inflation. That wouldn’t prove that inflation is even lower than reported, and neither does higher inflation in some sectors prove that inflation is higher than reported.

> She had to "spend hours" coming through subreddits to find the offending material and report it to Reddit, according to the suit.

The complaint seems to be that the content wasn't automatically removed, and the victim had to manually seek it out (which was apparently arduous and time-consuming) and signal it.

There's maybe some stuff reddit could have done marginally better, but the only way the core problem (need to manually report bad content) could be addressed is with automatic takedowns.

Youtube's experience shows that (1) whatever system you use will have a lot of false positives, (2) the community is not happy when these false positives start piling up.
I would reply that the adults in that case should demonstrate their own character by recognizing that teenagers are humans with emotions¹ who get frustrated and make mistakes. And that a mistake that doesn't really harm anyone (an F said in conversation with a friend) merits a discussion in the worst, not a dismissal dropped like a bomb.

I never said you should buy anything. And certainly never in my life have I tried to sell a crypto. Why would I? I enjoy discussing how crypto is going to change the world because I genuinely believe it will. A move away from everything being centralized is a good thing in my opinion.

edit: just to add on - would you call somebody who was excited about the Internet in 1995 a salesman? Just because I have an easy time seeing where crypto is heading and am excited about it should not be considered "salesman" behavior.
That woukd be a good idea, though wouldn't that notably increase the cost of the unit as well?
I agree with this. I'd have periods of times where I'd feel super lonely and I'd go out and meet new people through group events introduced by friends or whatever. However usually it ends up feeling like a waste of time. It sounds super elitist but I'm rarely impressed by new people I meet and usually the ones I meet seem so different I'm not even sure I really even want to know them better. It seems super contradictory and sometimes I'd go home feeling worse

I think this implies a historicist perspective. In other words, you tacitly demand that the government tell the future and act accordingly. Well obviously the government can't do that.

I think "failure" should be a question of incompetent administration. That is, once a policy is decided, how well or poorly was it carried out? It may be that the government failed at carrying out mass testing.
I don't mean this to disparage Airbus in any way but after Boeing's issues with the 737 MAX I'd assumed a fairly poor culture of software at airplane manufacturers in general.

Yes they do ignore those but at this moment they don’t ignore site: queries. Google also suffers heavily from old content, and even changing the date under the tools section doesn’t work for some reason. I think because it goes by when the page was last updated and sites like Reddit update them automatically very frequently
I honestly don't understand this current hang up on things being 'political'. The movies are largely going to be a reflection of the world we live in at that point in time, tapping into the collective consciousness of the moment.

Things feel more turbulent now, for many people, than in the 90s. Therefore we don't have 90's or early 2000s style movies about boring life or other inane things. Office Space would be a different film if it was written now, and Dude Where's My Car probably wouldn't even exist.

Lots of films were political about Vietnam during that period of time.

Lots of films were political about the war in Iraq, arguably too heavily in the US' favour to keep that support drummed up, after 9/11 happened.

Now it's about things like representation of minorities, nationalism, right wing threats, and so on, and I suppose "it's political" is another way of saying you're against the politics the movie chooses to explore, or represent.

To that end, it's only political if you disagree with it, and that lines up with me feeling that 'political' is being used as a pejorative.
