you see, that's exactly the kind of marginal thinking that gets us into these kinds of shut-in situations for children in the name of "safety". that exact scenario, where only the speed difference rather than a myriad of other factors, is material to life and death, is a tiny, and probably an undifferentiable, portion of collisions. putting forth such imagined scenarios as if they present significant risk is poor rationale.

support traffic calming measures (like narrowing car lanes, adding streetside trees, converting parking to bike lanes, etc.), not for specious reasons like this, but because they reduce distracted driving, and thereby reduce collisions and injury/death. it's at best misdirection to talk about reducing speed, and at worst, leads to poor policy that not only doesn't address the problem (reducing injury/death) but creates unintended consequences (like traffic and more distracted driving).

NO. Business owners dont want to be beholden to Apple. Some are even fine with 30% cut ( which is a ridiculous amount depending on sector ). But why should Business Owner beg for Apple's mercy just to be on the App Store?

None of these would have happen had Apple been a good guardian of the App store and their power.

I am a happy Apple customer, half happy shareholder, unhappy business owner.

Yep, definitely. The only challenges there are that there's less literature about doing so and that if you have both up and down votes there's no longer one right way to define a single objective for scoring.

> You could argue in this case that the court could have judged the credibility of the person

Yes, I can argue that. Because that's exactly what the court did.

The essay links to a letter from the engineering board's legal counsel, which acknowledges that the courts have different standards. "It is important to understand that it is the determination of the Courts as to what testimony is accepted into court. The Board addresses the practice of engineering issues separate from a court determination of what is admissible in court."

The adversarial court system ("Both sides in the case had retained experts") means that if information presented was incorrect, the other side's expert witness could point it, so the judge doesn't need to depend solely on creditialism.

> there is still merit in outsourcing that judgement to a licensing board

The court does not outsource its judgement to a licensing board!

Consider the madness that might happen if the board can deny certification to those would would challenge the board's engineering guidelines.

Or more specifically, the linked-to Mats Järlström case, where a non-certified engineer challenged the standard traffic light timing calculation, developed a new (better) calculation, described himself accurately as an engineer, and board said he could not talk about the new calculation in public, following their practice of what the courts later described as "history of overzealous enforcement actions".

Using Data Science to predict viral tweets
We also don't talk about 'all those other things' that went along with freedoms. I used to buy my father cigarettes as a kid in a small town where they knew who I was buying for. We used to have 7 kids in the back of a pickup truck on the back roads. We didn't wear helmets for anything, though adults did 'mostly' on motorcycles. We'd climb way, way up high in barns and jump down into hey stacks with god knows what kind of nails and chains floating around. We ran go-karts down treacherous hills. Adults didn't usually wear life vests on the lake and definitely had beers out fishing. And I'm not that old. So it's not quite just 'helicoptor' parenting ... kids used to die at higher rates from all sorts of things though I think largely disease, but I think this made us more risk tolerant.

Have a gander at this [1].

When your parents were born, infant mortality was 'pretty bad'. When your grandparents were born ... it's traumatic. Furtherback it looks almost unthinkable.

Just look at what the lived trauma in that chart must represent. Basically - everyone had young children die on them. Imagine that being 'normal'.

WRT syncing, syncthing has changed the way I think about that problem that is no problem anymore.

Various VAT and sales taxes often apply based on where the purchaser is, not where the seller is.

So if I sell an ebook from the US to someone in Germany, I believe I'm supposed to retain and remit VAT for Germany. If someone is in France and buys the ebook, I have to retain and remit the French VAT to France, etc.

There are some thresholds where if I sell below that, I don't think I have to remit, and those seem to vary at least across Europe, let alone all the US states and other countries.

Personally, I believe it's a mess and geographically based governments really don't know how to manage virtually based human interactions and they're just stamping old systems onto new ones. Yet, AFAIK, that's why a B2C seller is supposed to know the physical location of the buyers.

"Hard Practice" vs "Soft Practice" is the center of the argument, it is the point of contention.

They disagree on both of these points, so no, they don't agree.
You're valuing curl incorrectly. For example, an engineer isn't valued based on what he enables at the company. S/he's valued based on what they can deliver that others can't. Maybe I manage the database at my company and the database is arguably one of the most important pieces of infrastructure but that doesn't mean I have unlimited salary. I can only negotiate as high as someone else is willing to undercut me to perform the same duties. If you apply that to curl, how much of it is irreplaceable?

Yes. The thing I dont understand is why they didn't break out Gaming into Game Store. And let App Store operate on 10% commission. Where the App Store only operate on automated security checks.( I dont even know how they curate gaming. When most of the freemium Games are 2 min Game play with 1 min Ads)

The vast majority ( 80%+ ) of App Store revenue are Gaming. That one single step would have protected Apple's bottom line.

It can store 385 bytes per tweet. This link includes a bit more technical explanation of how Twitter counts characters towards the limit. Apparently, using the entire range of unicode characters does not improve compression because of the double weighting of emojis and other characters as described in TFA. It links to a base131072 encoding which can only store 297 bytes per tweet.

I like this.

This reminds me a lot of GStreamer. If you are not familiar with it, it is a decades-old media platform that is still used extensively today in everything from DVD / Music players to deep learning on NVIDIA and Intel hardware. It's a swiss army knife of time-based media.

It has this really cool concept where elements can connect together in directed acyclic graphs to create amazingly complex pipelines that are all synchronized and buffered. Like connecting an "RTSP source to an mp4decoder to an image resizer to JPEG images" as a trivial example. Each pad defines a format it speaks (like RGB or YUV) called capabilities, and then GStreamer matches up the pad capabilities transparently to the user. There's no need to explicitly tell the pipeline manager how to connect the two pads, it will automatically pick a shared capability. Of course, the can be forced explicitly, but it doesn't need to be.

I wonder if executables that are pipe-friendly could expose formats in much the same way GStreamer pads do instead of your ".typed" properties file. It wouldn't require explicitly coercing the pipe, but it wouldn't be a type, it would be more flexible...

I used to be that guy that always tried to solve other people's problems whenever they poured out their problems in front of me. I guess there were two reasons for this: One, I didn't realize that some people simply want to let it out and they are not really interested in a solution. Two, I identified too much with their problems and in order to make myself feel better, I tried to be helpful.

Nowadays, I have a pretty good grasp when someone really wants helpful input for their problem and when someone simply wants to vent. And while it still causes certain feelings inside myself whenever I hear someone vent (especially when it's clear that they are simply complaining and not doing anything about it), I view those situations as opportunities to grow by managing how I react to those things. Ideally, I simply accept that they are not my problems and go on with my life. (That's definitely a work in progress though.)
There are three buttons that act as sorting directions at the top of the answers section: "Votes," "Oldest," and "Active." The "Active" option sorts by most recently modified, which is _usually_ what you'd want instead of strictly newest. (i.e. an edit would update the timestamp, making that answer have a more recent activity date)

So, I guess the answer to your question of "why can't I" is "good news! you can" :)

> the Cascadia fault _will_ slip in the next 100 years (probably) and cause (probably) millions of deaths, and likely make living on the west coast untenable for some generations.

That seems hyperbolic to me. The average interval for Cascade quakes has been 570-590 years. It has been 321 since the last. It could happen in the next 100, but it's a stretch to say that it probably will.

I also think the 'millions of deaths' prediction is overstated by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude. And while a 9.x earthquake would be big, making it untenable to live on the west coast for generations is a pretty wild prediction.
I wonder if a different approach could work: have something conceptually like the @types/ libraries for javascript (which add type definitions to packages that don't have them). In this case, the @types are parsers to and from normalized json and schemas for each command. You need a new shell now, but it could be a simple layer on top of existing ones. Let's call it tbash. tbash will check each command to see if it's typed, and handle invoking the type conversions automatically, falling back to byte streams if there is no type. It would also handle raising errors.

I'm probably missing a lot of edge cases here, but I think it could work.

The main difference in this approach is the shell takes on most of the work, the commands themselves can remain unchanged. They just need an @typed wrapper and some indications of what types they can accept (typescripts structural typing could also give guidance here)
C is not a stack machine at all because (1) it has randomly accessed local variables with (2) the programmer expectation that these be mapped to registers as well as possible. C even used to have a register keyword; yet it never had any stack manipulation primitives (push, pop, ...).
That could be a plugin in OBS.

I use Google Keep for just random stuff I have to jot down but don't really care about organizing.

Honestly though, even plain markdown doesn't work for a lot of types of notes I take. For personal stuff I find myself using Notion a lot. The LaTeX support is pretty great.

At work I've actually kind of fallen in love with Confluence. Even though the editor can be a little cumbersome, the search functionality is great the pages just look really nice. Confluence mobile viewing/editing also works really nice. Now that I'm saying (er, typing) all of this out loud, I almost want to switch to Confluence for personal notes instead of Notion haha.
Think we are in the same boat, although I never really made it away from Simplenote.

Currently not using the actual Simplenote app, instead it is Byword on iOS, nvpy on Linux, ResophNotes on Windows and nvAlt on OS X (and syncing via Dropbox).
For many years I used a small app called "notesy" on iOS, but that disapeared completely at some point -- never found out who made it.

Have been thinking about joplin, but I never even tried it since I have a lot of toolchain set up around scripted edits to files (e.g. my timesheet it built by scanning notes, and I clock in and out of projects with a small script triggered from Launchy).
