> Also, if e-bikes and bike-speed robots become really numerous in the bike lanes, that should motivate more creation and better maintenance of bike lanes.

Bike lanes aren't, like, a natural resource to be shared. Cyclists fought hard to get them, in order to cycle on, and now we need to get crowded out of them to subsidize a startup on the theory that, once we can't use the bike lanes, we'll complain some more and maybe get as much space as we have today?

I mean, I like pizza and startups and pizza startups and I don't blame them for trying, but my reaction is a very strong fuck no. If you want to use the bike lane, build a pizza delivery robot that can ride a bike.

No. You have a high level transliteration of the bytecode. Xonotic is in fact distributed in source form so it's easier to cheat with.
I think it's mainly a matter of speed. A little 15 mph robot just fits best in the bike lane. If the robot was a 30 mph moped, then they belong in the street.

-- I took your stuff 'cause it was the stuff that fit me the best.

Just because it's convenient to the robot be in the bike lane doesn't mean the robot has a right seize the bike lane.
Why not send a bicyclist to deliver pizza then?

The pizza delivery robot is a solution to an already solved problem and which creates problems for everybody else. The bike lane is for bicyclists and the like, no autonomous motorized things should be on them, bicyclists requested them for a long time and finally have them.

If the robo-delivery things prove so popular they may apply for their own type of lanes
I, for one, welcome our new pizza delivery robot overlords.

As the other reply to your comment said: the high level things you understand were groundbreaking at the time. The fact that arbitrary data can be encoded as bits? Minds blown!

What passes for mundane obviousness today was once a strike of genius nobody else saw coming.

And that's part of what makes the paper so groundbreaking, too. Some things are groundbreaking in terms of explanatory power but don't make it into the fabric of society. What Shannon's paper did was essentially weave the fabric of the digitally powered society.

And it did it so successfully that you think of it as obvious banalities today.

Let me clarify what I meant by "locked down". The border situation at Xinjiang is exceptionally invasive. The following investigation is from 2019:

> Foreigners crossing certain Chinese borders into the Xinjiang region, where authorities are conducting a massive campaign of surveillance and oppression against the local Muslim population, are being forced to install a piece of malware on their phones that gives all of their text messages as well as other pieces of data to the authorities, a collaboration by Motherboard, Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Guardian, the New York Times, and the German public broadcaster NDR has found.

> The Android malware, which is installed by a border guard when they physically seize the phone, also scans the tourist or traveller's device for a specific set of files, according to multiple expert analyses of the software. The files authorities are looking for include Islamic extremist content, but also innocuous Islamic material, academic books on Islam by leading researchers, and even music from a Japanese metal band.

> In no way is the downloading of tourists’ text messages and other mobile phone data comparable to the treatment of the Uighur population in Xinjiang, who live under the constant gaze of facial recognition systems, CCTV, and physical searches. Last week, VICE News published an undercover documentary detailing some of the human rights abuses and surveillance against the Uighur population. But the malware news shows that the Chinese government’s aggressive style of policing and surveillance in the Xinjiang region has extended to foreigners, too.

> (Update: after the publication of this piece, multiple antivirus firms updated their products to flag the app as malware).

That was a great story. Thank you for linking it.
Social media is part of human evolution. Removing it is unproductive. It's another way of communicating that we haven't yet figured out how to do properly. It seems like it started off on a good path, but quickly turned into hate, violence and just constant spewing of garbage. The reason it doesn't work is because it literally lacks just about everything that is present in real face-to-face interactions such as accountability, responsibility and (most importantly) exchange of social ques either verbally or via body language. The next challenge in social media is how to revolutionize mass communication beyond a blob of text.
I'm there. Never in my life have I had a friend even close to "best man" material, in either direction. For whatever reason, I've never been able to maintain friendships for more than a couple of years. Something always goes wrong, or folks just lose interest. In my mid forties now, it seems obvious that this is due to personality flaws of my own.
If you work at YouTube/Google, and you have the opportunity to do something about this, I hope that you get those videos back up on YouTube. The Uighur people need our help. That's one way you can help them.
This current situation is getting worse and worse.

Anyone commenting on Xinjiang here never get any truth themselves...

Each time I recommend them to watch YT videos from non main-stream media, no one reply back with what they found out...

And apparently everyone is happy to bash the credit of mainstream media, except for China/XInjiang, it's like suddenly a bunch of guys never set foot in Xinjiang, start to trusting another bunch of guys also never set foot in Xinjiang, and claim that they are good friends all along...

Ridiculous!

Here's my controversial opinion - the best individual solution is to do less stuff. To me, it doesn't make sense that a problem caused by over-zealous production will be solved by over-zealous production. We can't really expect making more stuff to solve our problems caused by making too much stuff. The new stuff we make should be targeted at increasing the efficiency of production, but, while helpful, I can't help but view that innovation as only part of a solution. Another part of the solution is individuals trying to change the functions of corporations, and the only way I can think to do that is by doing and demanding less overall. Still, though, individual change feels like it's meaningless at this point. The building I live in is run on solar, and climate awareness has been baked into my school curriculums since elementary school, but if Exxon Mobil doesn't sort its shit out, I don't think my house is going to do much.

The rest of the solution, and this is controversial opinion number two, is that we need to reorient the purpose of corporations, and the economy as whole, from profit to humanity. Only 20 companies produced 35% of GHG emissions, and 100 produced 70%[0]. This isn't an individual issue, and it won't be fixed by individual solutions. Corporations, driven by innovation as an extension of profit, caused this problem. If we just request more innovation, I feel like we're going to be fucked.

I agree that climate despair is unhelpful, but so is the "let's let innovation sort it out" attitude - we need real structural change that innovation within capitalism can't provide. I'd suggest Marxism, but I doubt that's something most people want to hear.

Reflections on software performance – Made of Bugs
It definitely can happen, it is a vulnerability but an acceptable one:

1. There is no such thing as perfect anti-cheat solution with today’s resources. Even client side rootkit based solutions can be overcome.

2. My solution completely eliminates wall hacking at 90% of the cases, same can’t be said for the rootkit anti-cheat solutions.

3. Game can be designed to put corner campers to disadvantage. But honestly no need to think extremely deep about such cases, you would first release the game then check the player complaints about wall hackers. If it is a major issue then you can implement a double ray-cast solution for most reported players, use correct size wall for their ray-casts and ban them statistically. Even if you can ban players accidentally it wouldn’t be a huge portion of your player base.
Indeed, that is what I did, and that is what I expected of others. No one really asked why, the answer was obvious, and when I asked them, they said they were quarantining in the same way.
Exactly. There is currently a debate in the UK about whether to legalise lime-style electric scooters (yes, they’re still mostly illegal here!), and whether they should be allowed in cycle lanes.

I say provided they’re small and adhere to the same rules/speeds as bikes, then the more bike lane users we have the better! More traffic in bike lanes creates more demand for bike lanes, so more will get built. This in turn will encourage more cycling, so it’s a win for everyone!

my quibble is not really about the equality symbol, more about assignments as a fundamental building concept of code.

> You can disable secure boot and add your own keys in the firmware config page.

You can disable secure boot or add your own keys because Microsoft required all manufacturers to allow it. If it wasn't mandated by Microsoft, some manufacturers would not allow it. And for ARM devices, Microsoft required the opposite (https://softwarefreedom.org/blog/2012/jan/12/microsoft-confi...). So yes, the only reason we can run non-Microsoft operating systems on our computers is because Microsoft "gave permission".
You've described short term thinking incredibly well. The coronavirus pandemic was happening in the present, this making it very easy to address from a political standpoint. It's a lot harder to get people to approve of changed that make their lives hard now in exchange for future benefits.

I ride my personal scooter at 0~40 mph in the road and in the bike lanes.

When I see for-rent scooters dumped blocking public commons, I stop and throw them in the nearest gutter, dumpster, sewer, or river to hold the companies responsible for their users monetarily.

If I see a pizza-delivery robot going 5 mph in a bike lane, I'm going to kick it to the curb or run-over it. And, I'll make sure everyone else does the same. They can pay bike messengers who need the work rather than being job-stealing, pointless automation assholes.

Basically all of it. No one has rigorously constructed a non-trivial quantum field theory in four dimensions (the physically realistic case; 3 spatial + 1 time).

I am also much more pessimistic than Seiberg about the possibility that a priori mathematical investigation is going to say something useful about quantum gravity. The following essay gives a pessimistic point of view on a particular program to rigorize QFT, but the arguments generalize: http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/8890/.

But, that's a long paper. For a super-condensed take on why the project might be hopeless, read section two of this paper: http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/15296/1/qm-continuum%20revis....
I simply don't see a problem here. The robot arrives, you receive a text or call, you walk outside and pick up your food. I'm sure that most users will prefer to take the short walk to their doorstep instead of paying a premium for hiring a human to deliver food.

I've never looked under the hood of a `cdr` implementation but I feel pretty confident in saying that it's likely to be an incremented pointer most of the time.

15 mph is close to top speed on a bike on even ground (for me at least). If I'm causally biking to dinner, I'm not going that fast. The robot could be "coming at you" from behind.

----

Beside the risks of the robots malfunctioning, I think this would be bad for bicyclists if it goes well.

Right now the bots are pretty rare but let's say this is a huge success and a really cheap way to deliver food in a city.

I can imagine there being stretches of bike lanes where the right-lane is a bunch of delivery-bots. That does not leave much room for bikes in the bike lane. "Bike lanes" become "delivery lanes".

Whether or not this is a likely outcome is another discussion but making it a rule that robots can use the bike lane could have bigger consequences than this trial run.

edit: bikes go faster than 15mph

Right, but then you can't multi-thread merge().

More to the point for the kind of software I write: What if map3 isn't immutable? What if it's something like the state of a router for a TV station, something that keeps changing? Then it can't be immutable, and you need a way to keep other threads from reading it while it's changing (or, worse, writing it while it's changing).

Or else, you say that it's immutable, and when some thread changes the state, it produces a new map3, and the old one doesn't change. But then you have the problem of getting all the other threads updated to see the new version of map3.

(And, by the way, I've worked on that router for TV stations. Modeling that matrix in a way that invalid states are unrepresentable is, um, extremely non-trivial...)

In Seoul I seem to recall many of the bike lanes being on the sidewalk, not on the street. The biggest problem I had then was that people seemed to naturally gravitate towards walking on them, so they would often have pedestrians on them, but I think a car hitting a cyclist is worse than a cyclist hitting a pedestrian, so it seems like a good trade off.
in EU we have these stickers. You cannot build houses with lower "tier" energy "stickers" anymore.
