I didn't say I was in Sendai. Human societies were designed to a human scale for thousands of years before cars started dividing us all up. American suburbia is one extreme, and Tokyo is another. Somewhere in between, I'd like to think we can find a balance in city design that allows us all to choose the mode of transportation that is most suitable for the journey.

I actually found the writeup refreshing in acknowledging the luck (but also the hard work) behind the success.

Huh - I know these numbers from a Counting Crows song (“A Murder of One”, one of my favorites). Never knew this came from cultural heritage.

> Isn't the 'modern' solution to memcpy into a temp and swap the bytes in that?

Or just use the endian.h / sys/endian.h routines, which do the right thing (be32dec / be32enc / whatever). memcpy+swap is fine, and easier to get right than the author's giant expressions, but you might as well use the named routines that do exactly what you want already.

Is the maximal speed of the slingshotted particle something like twice the speed of the big objects? Do they escape or they just form a cloud that gets hotter?

For this subject, it's important that the simulation conserves energy. Most naive numeric simulations don't do that, and even symplectic simulations increase/decrease the total energy slowly.
Not my experience for dev related searches. I assume this is because Google has learned I always search for JS stuff and I've gotten used to that so I'm not specific enough in my searches on DDG.
i think mostly because this is even more complicated than the approach taken, and the proposed solution is good enough. If you do have large gaps in your dataset you can also account for them by just blocking a range of numbers ahead of time, optionally with a monthly cron job to identify new gaps larger than X rows, depending on how often new such gaps form.

if you have thousands of rows, it doesn't really matter if one is 3 times as likely to show up as another one, as long as the odds aren't stacked too heavily towards any one row (at least for what I assume to be the typical use case of showing users a random product/page/whatever)
I mean, we are not saying Apple should have shipped iPhones with porn preinstalled. What is the harm in allowing developers offer porn content FOR PEOPLE THAT SEARCH FOR IT IN THE APP STORE, possibly after turning on a flag for nsfw content? That is not possible, that content is not allowed on the app store, ever. It is their right to do so of course, their store and product and all, but people that support the decision confuse me a bit. There is literally no harm to you if it was allowed. You won't see it unless you search for it.
Great link, thank you. She really is an interesting thinker, and her stories have a lot to tell us. Earthsea is worth reading.

Re potency, I think she’s saying it is more common, if less glamorous, to receive and collect than to fight and conquer. Perhaps she chooses to collect and share stories and questions rather than tell you what to do. That is why her tales can seem slow to some - there is a lot under the surface, a lot of meaning nameless or unsaid.

I think of her stories more as questions than answers.

You're welcome to your experience but my fancy London flat was dead quiet from neighbours. One time I met a lady at the lifts and she apologized for her kids making so much noise (they were adjacent to my flat) and to be honest, I hadn't heard a damn thing and I was just lying in bed in the room adjoining their flat the whole morning.

Of course, personally I don't think we should "invest in remote work" or "build flats". I think we should simply allow the market to flow to optima by deregulating.

Many people like single family homes in the suburbs. And clearly many people like a flat in the city. So let them have both by allowing them to sell their land to people who can build arbitrary density.

I've got to tell you that a lot of American construction is pretty shoddy in comparison. I don't know if it's a materials problem or just that America is so rich that $4k/mo flats aren't actually luxury.
I think The Beginning Place is an underrated Le Guin book that didn't make the list! It's definitely not science fiction or even futuristic – more like fantasy plus magical realism – but I found the plot so unique and engaging.
The browser is the whole thing. All of it. If you can't replace the rendering engine then you can't replace the browser. Not only because you can't replace the rendering engine but because many of the other things depend on the ability to add features to the rendering engine.

If you put a Dodge engine in a Chevy, you don't call it a Dodge, you call it a Frankenstein's monster which isn't either one and both Dodge and Chevy fans (but especially Chevy fans) will think less of you for it.
> Together, the couple earn about $350,000 a year — more than six times the national household average. Virginia works in the finance department of Hewlett-Packard in Palo Alto, and Gee was an early employee of a start-up that developed an online auctioning app.

> They have wanted to buy nice furniture for the house, but between their mortgage and child care expenses, they don’t think they can afford to buy it all at once. Some of their rooms now sit empty. Gee said that Silicon Valley salaries like theirs sounded like real wealth to the rest of the country, but that here it didn’t always feel that way.

I think this does sound like insane money to the rest of the country, and clearly this couple is doing _okay_ if the main money issue is not buying furniture all at once. BUT, with the new talk of raising taxes on $400k/$200k annual income (depending on whether Biden means family or personal income) treats this couple like they're filthy rich.
In the age of computation I think the real dichotomy is between rhythm-focused loop-based composition and music made by people playing instruments. It's easy to see why hip-hop and technology is winning: it's easier music to make. Why compose minutes of music when you can compose 20 seconds and loop it? Or sample it altogether? Why spend thousands of ours learning an instrument?

Ignoring wizardry and fantasy for a moment, Harry Potter is also a “school adventure”, which is a staple of British children’s literature, including works such as Enid Blyton’s Mallory Towers.

Anyway — there’s so much good children’s literature out there. Read (or procure for the kids in your life) what you want!
Farr's Laws
Harry Potter is not atrocious - lots of people read it and it has inspired a lot of people. I think it seems trite to people who have read a lot of the fantasy classics and are steeped in Wizard of Earthsea, Gormenghast, Once and Future King and the like, but to people that are looking for something different, it is imaginative and the characters grow in a realistic and interesting way.
LF is basically a deployable organizational model, typically taken advantage of by someone with an existing project or projects they want to release & collaborate on.

worth noting that Linux Foundation began as a merger of between Open Source Development Labs (who worked to push Linux adoption in enterprise) and the Free Standards Group (who worked to push open source standards) to standardize Linux. Only one of these groups started with an exclusive Linux focus, and that same group also focused on the enterprise & driving adoptability.

The perils of Wikipedia: That statement is cited to a Science article from 2016. If the citation is accurate (never a sure thing), Science's writer probably would have taken her word for it - it's not a investigative journalism organization - and even if that's all true, it's from 5 years ago.

My senior college project was to reduce surgeon error in an Opthamalogy department, and surgeons were definitely cagey about talking about errors. It happened to other surgeons but not them (but it did). They’re so scared of malpractice suits.

Cataract surgery is very quick, but apparently it does happen they will implant the wrong lens into the wrong eye.

The existing system at the time
was a verbal one. Someone in the operating room would call out the lens model number, and the eye they were operating on, and everyone would confirm. The theory being safety in numbers. But they got it wrong sometimes.

So we suggested a barcode system, where the correct model is documented ahead of time. Then when the lens is picked for surgery, it would be scanned and the computer would say if it matches or not, and it would say which eye it was to be put in. There still could be error with data entry but it would be documented with clear ownership which should decrease error.

The interesting thing was in talking about the processes with surgeons, no one involved said errors ever happened there. Which makes sense - there’s only downside in doing so, but I can easily see why medical errors are hard to estimate.
The shitty part is that a lot of people do try to allow people who want dense urbanization to urbanize and we go somewhere that isn’t dense. You get what you want and we get what we want.

And then more and more people move out where we are because of how nice it is and complain that we don’t want to urbanize the place we moved to escape density. I’m sick of people moving to where I live and blaming me because where they moved isn’t what they wanted so it needs to change to accommodate them. Instead of blaming their job for forcing them to live somewhere they don’t like.

Like if you went to a French restaurant and demanded the owners turn into a pizzeria because yeah there’s a pizzeria a few blocks over you could have gone to in the tenderloin but there aren’t enough pizzerias in general and you want this nice restaurant to be a pizzeria too.

The Right Answer of whether to focus on encouraging companies to spread out versus encouraging people to squeeze together probably depends on how many people want urbanization for job markets versus how many want it for lifestyle.
Handing out trillions of dollars at the right time to prevent a disaster is pretty heroic. Crypto is handed out to whoever has the most GPU power.

Lathe of Heaven can be seen on youtube here: [1]

Those who haven't seen it should be prepared for a very low-budget film which definitely feels like a 1980 period piece, but I personally enjoyed it anyway.. and conceptually it's way better than a lot of much higher budget, newer movies.

It's for people who prefer to watch something that makes them think, instead of the usual scifi fare of effects, explosions, fights, and people running around in skin-tight outfits.

My new favorite is hunting through their online catalogues and only finding the things I want via their online sales. Just with worse shipping.

Other then niche products like brewers items, furniture and other home goods it’s difficult to find things I need.

I read it and I really enjoyed it. However it felt more like dipping my toes than engrossing myself in the world. I felt like I wanted a whole series rather than one book. It felt like so many details of a world with a functional but flawed anarchistic society were left unexplored.

Correct. It's a trademark law issue. In the same way that you can develop a "Chess for Windows" but not a "Windows Chess". Using "for X" is fair use.
It’s not just about Apple here. Credit card companies don’t let Apple pass along those fees to customers.

An app that costs 100$ and sells 1,000 copies has much lower transaction fees than an app that costs 1$ and sells 100,000 copies.
macOS’s zoom functionality isn’t broken, it’s just content-size based rather than screen-size based: I like this, but some applications to implement the necessary hints and so it falls back to zooming to full screen.

macOS’s resizing has some useful functionality here: dragging an edge resizes in that direction, double-clicking an edge maximizes in that direction (including diagonally) and option+any of these resizes the opposite side of the window as well. So, if you hold option and double-click a corner, it’ll do a Windows-style maximize.
So, your suggestion is that no only are crypto investors worried about inflation, they are worried about inflation more than climate change (it's the opposite for me). I would love to see some poll of the Ethereum and Bitcoin communities to see how representative our respective views are.

Worth watching. But if you don’t... [Linux desktop sucks because application writers don’t make binaries that “just work”, pushing the user to always just have to recompile for their system, they try and address this in the kernel by not breaking things, but the distributions to and screw it all up, because breaking is fine so long as it’s “improving”]

Tons of contrary points I’m sure, but duh. It’s really nice to be able to run Windows 3.1 code on a Windows Server 2019, the idea is nice, practicality aside.

As someone who could run Linux desktop, I see it as the same reason I don’t root an android phone, I do enough tweaking and tinkering in my own code that sometimes I just want tools that immediately work. So I can do my other work. Linux as a system, great, as a desktop, I’ll never set one up for someone I don’t want to hear from all the time.
I don’t know enough to outright refute your claims, but I’m guessing you’re getting something wrong or leaving out an important detail (unintentionally). Apple doesn’t allow non-game apps selling digital goods to circumvent the 30%. So whether or not fortnite is a game or not seems irrelevant. I would be shocked if I could enter in a credit card number and buy something inside roblox without going through Apple.

Right, 2014. Although I’m not sure anything has improved on his main complaints. There is no possibility of compatibility between binaries for the end user which means the experience will rarely be download and run. The distorts will always be incompatible, the package managers don’t care about you, and the core system components will break things in the name of progress (for them, hope you can come along!).

I was quite shocked by the landscape driving through many parts of West Africa. I always assumed places like Gabon, Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) would be 99% dense jungle given they're right on the equator.

In some places they are, but also there are immense swaths of green rolling hills that stretch to the horizon on all sides. [1]

Speaking to locals they didn't think "modern" humans had deforested like that - the evidence would have been visible, and everyone agreed it would have been impossible to deforest that much landscape without at least steam powered tools.

Maybe fire explains some of it, but I still don't really understand.

Amazingly, when I was on the other side of the continent a stone's throw from the Eastern side of the DRC, the landscape was virtually identical again. [2]

Should the military be handling domestic cybersecurity? That seems especially perilous to civil liberties, something out of dystopian sci-fi.

The military's role isn't to provide peace and justice for citizens, it's to kill people and destroy things. That's not an insult to the military, that's what soldiers will tell you; we need to be realistic about it. They should not be operating around civilians in peacetime (except in special circumstances).

PuTTY 0.75 Is Released
Noteworthy security fix:

- On Windows, if a server sent control sequences at high speed to reconfigure the terminal window title repeatedly, PuTTY would pass on all those title changes to Windows itself at high enough speed to make the window system unresponsive, resulting in a denial of service to other local applications.

Noteworthy UI fix:

- The terminal was unable to display Unicode characters in the range U+F000 to U+F1FF (part of the private-use area).

This latest one is amazing for the ones of us who like to pimp our terminal using nerdfonts, fancy icons in the terminal and such. This now finally works well!

Not necessarily. Migration of jobs is real - for example, Seattle offers the same FAANG pay and opportunities with beautiful geography, with at least 30% cheaper housing. Migration that is already taking place will continue until housing reaches an equilibrium.
Taking science fiction as positing a technological change and then writing a story about how the world is given that change, Left Hand of Darkness is absolutely scifi. It wonders what one human society might be like if cut off for centuries or more after a diaspora. The ambassador in the story seeing if the world can be brought back into the fold is classic scifi. It’s even more nuanced because the ambassador narrator isn’t some emotionless ubermensch, but a sexist fish out of water.
