> For example: while you may see advocacy for protected lanes or traffic calming, almost no one is arguing that cars should be removed from the roads.

But those things are anti-car. They come at the cost of travel speed or congestion as a result of fewer lanes. They're thereby something you have to fight the masses in order to get, instead of finding a Pareto-optimal solution that can thereby actually be implemented.

Or at least figure out who it is you want to fight. For example, a lot of towns have a main drag that goes through the area with all the shops. One of the best ways to make that street more accessible to pedestrians is to build a limited access highway parallel to it to carry all the vehicle traffic which is only passing through.

The shop owners are going to fight you on that. They want those cars driving past their shops. But it puts the pedestrians and the drivers on the same side, because the drivers don't want to be stuck on a road full of crosswalks and stoplights when they could be driving around it at 70 MPH.

Radio spectrum is a shared resource that for many use cases needs exclusive allocation to work well - if one person/organization is using a frequency band in an area, they need to be the only ones who can use that frequency band there. Think TV or radio stations; if someone else is transmitting in the same channel, then it just disrupts the broadcast. So most such spectrum is allocated (often through auction) and then whoever has that allocation is legally granted a monopoly on the use of that spectrum, enforced by government who will prevent anyone else from using that spectrum with fines and even physical interference (finding, disconnecting and confiscating the violating transmitters) if needed.

Transmitting over radio waves is a highly regulated privilege. There are a few ranges that are open to public (i.e. the bands used for Wifi and BT) with devices that need to be certified to ensure that they transmit only in the narrow permitted ranges, but in most frequency ranges (including the LTE/5G ranges) it is illegal to operate a transmitter without an explicit license.
That's true. PHP just started so, so, so far down, it's had more to overcome than most.
The article is well written, good reminder for all of us who works with css.

I still remember learning all of those things years ago. However, because I don't use vanilla css, I mostly always have to re-google them again.

If even if we manage to colonize other worlds, exponential population growth can't be sustained. The habitable space scales at most as the volume of a sphere growing and light-speed centered around Earth, so subexponential. You'd also need to constantly ship people from inner space to ever more distant new colonies.

Fortunately humans seem to have the tendency of having fewer children as they become more wealthy and educated. Many countries already are below replacement rate. It is plausible that birth rates would drop even further if death became optional.
Even without a kid, a car is almost always the best way to travel. If we lived in an ideal world with unlimited space and resources, everybody would be driving a car. Only restrictions due to population density or political incentives may create situations where one might prefer traveling by some other mode.

I remember a joke in Homestar Runner[0] in 2006 about Pom Pom making a movie on his phone. At the time it was maybe just barely possible. Some people were watching very limited movies or movie clips on their phones. A few years later, people were doing video calls and streaming to the internet.

So yes, there was a period of time where the iPod and digital cameras and other gadgets were tethered the PC. Picasa was a desktop app for years before google photos; but now everything is on the cloud. I've never connected my current phone to a computer.

But this isn't how people actually perceive crime: Pew has been polling Americans for decades about it [1], and Americans have consistently said that crime is rising even though that's almost never been the case. So as "measured by individuals relatively," nothing has changed.

Maybe? But like... you'd basically have to live within a very short walk of a grocery store, b/c hauling groceries for 5 people w/ 3 children is uh... ambitious. So you're living in an apartment building, or townhouse at best. So I guess no yard, not urban enough.

And since the best you're going to get is a corner store or very small grocer, I hope you're not looking for any bulk items or specialty stuff. God forbid you ever need to go to a hardware store.

Maybe you're rich, and can afford delivery groceries?

And I guess you're never really going out for a hike or anything outside the city proper, because taking a 3-stop transit to get to a hiking trail becomes a full-day affair, aka impossible.

I think at the end of the day, nobody is _actually_ going to do this, which plays out by the low-fertility stats of European cities. You've got 1-2 kids at most. I think we need to be honest in these discussions and admit that dense urban communities do not practically support anything other than small families. Which isn't something everyone is happy with.
Yes, that's definitely a thing I'm going to keep trying when there's several dozen options and every option set that doesn't work either also leaves you looking forever at a dead splash screen or crashes with a white screen full of "no debug on this file" which you can't reboot out of without a hard ACPI reset.

> Taking the kid to the doctor halfway across town

I live in a similar sized European city, and the one good thing the Soviets did here was to make sure services are available nearby to where people live.

I have a friend who has two toddlers, and when they need to go across the city they have no issues going by bus. If someone get pissed off because there is young human who is not mature at controlling (or more likely supressing) their emotions, that's their own problem.

Almost all of the services they need are nearby though. During the winter lockdowns they didn't need to leave their district for 4 months.
Externalities is precisely correct, but even that can fall into traps.

For example, pure hosting providers care deeply about the electricity usage, because they have to pay for the air conditioning needed to cool the waste heat. From their perspective, that $50 extra in power is actually more like $100 in electricity + cooling costs for a server that might only bring in $500 in revenue to them in the same time frame.

Meanwhile that server could be running a database that costs $300,000 per year in licensing alone, hosting software that cost $100M to develop, and supports 10K staff managing $2B in turnover.

So of course, it's going to be slowed down to 50% by the guy in charge of the air conditioning to save him $50...

Flan: A tool to save, load and share Postgres dumps on your team
I tend to believe that someone who can do magic CSS is about the ability to weave it with Mathematics and patterns. Other than that, the way you use CSS as it evolves become more and more syntactic sugar.

Once you are comfortable with CSS, try to dig a tad deeper into design philosophies and patterns. Work with established designers who understand that spacing is not just margins/padding of a designated number but a rhythm across screens of varying shapes and sizes.

For instance, understand the reasoning why a good designer will tell you that the typographic scale for desktops will be major-third, while for the smaller mobile phones, it will have to be minor-third.

Advance topics to research and have peace with CSS are vertical rhythm for spacings, modular scaling for typography, and the Cicada Principle, etc.

Here is an anecdote to illustrate the above;

There was a "Careers Page" redesign for one of the biggest banks in the world - after about 10+ years of their old one. When I landed in London, they already had a "Senior front-end developer" mid-way into the project. I went as a replacement for one of my team who had a family emergency. I haven't written much code in years.

They had engaged a brilliant designer and had a wall plastered with some of the most beautiful glossy print-outs. Everyone, including the client, loved it. Unfortunately, the struggle was -- the front-end output had irregular margins (pixel mismatch), fix another but breaks the other, etc.

I saw that they had screen rulers that try to match the design with what comes out on the screen.

I requested the designer to spend few hours explaining his reasoning behind the spacing and asked him the rhythms (similar to musical notes) that he has used, the scaling of the font sizes. This was when I realized the designer was brilliant, but the engineers would not understand or appreciate his effort.

I wrote out the Sass functions and mixins and steadily replaced many hacked in numbers and values. Introduced Design Tokens, a simple style guide, etc.

The website is still there and will likely last another 10+ years. I'm also sure many of you might have stumbled on it or have applied to jobs with it. :-)

This is so stupid.

If you want to assign IoT devices unique domain names, don't start with someone else's TLD. Provision your own and assign based on a database.

Imagine ".device" as a TLD, where every domain maps to a device. You could sell them at $0.01/domain and let the registration last forever.

Provision entire blocks of them, even.

If you truly cured death you'd have to worry about the exponent eventually, but realistically people would start pushing back childbearing even further (dramatically further potentially).

And it's possible that the TFR for any individual would not increase meaningfully (not clear to me that a 300 year old would feel the need to continue having children). Could just have 2.1 children and then call it quits and enjoy your great-great-great grandchildren, in which case population growth is only linear, not even exponential.

In C++ you have an implicit this pointer passed to methods, so for a start, something like this:

instance.Method(foo);
....
SomeClass::Method(int x) {
y += x;
}

more or less translates to something like this (using a pseudo C level here, rather than assembly):

Method(&instance, foo);
....
Method(SomeClass *this, int x) {
this->y += x;
}

it gets more interesting if "SomeClass::Method" is virtual, in which case the call looks more like this:

(((BaseClass *)&instance)->vtable.Method)(&instance, foo);

Where "vtable" is a compiler generated struct with function pointers. So here's your "pointery mess", neatly abstracted away by the syntax in the first example.

With multiple inheritance, it gets a bit more hairy than this, because the compiler has to do some offset adjustments on the casted pointer to get at the right vtable.

Japan had a major real estate crash in 1989, the Nikkei index crashed from 38,000 to 7,500, and never came all the way back.[1] It's only at 27,795 today. For a while in the 1980s, Japan seemed poised to take over the world. But that didn't happen.

The US had a similar crash in 2008, but it wasn't as bad. Although it did seem to result in what's now called "secular stagnation".

It's fine to dislike Haiku because it doesn't run on your hardware, but it's pretty ridiculous to assert it isn't an OS because it "can't run on an actual computer". Haiku runs on tons of hardware, including most of the machines I've tried it on, and it probably runs on far more devices than Risc OS ever has/will.

Edit: there's literally a massive thread (https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/computers-compatible-with-hai...) on the Haiku forums that documents just a small fraction of the hardware Haiku works on.

I call this talking in superlatives. It probably isn't exactly the same as the article is talking about but it is related. Especially the youth today prefers talking (and thinking?) in black and white. I think it is the effect of two things:

* Media which tries to sell rather mundane news as sensational (exaggerating)
* Management literature which tried the last 30 years hard to push people to the limits, to walk the last mile, to strive for the best, greatest, mediocrity is the evil.
And crucially, once you have given a resource limit, there's no way to (trivially) feed that back into an environment variable or flag to signal that to the app runtime (which, IIRC, is Really Handy for Java-based apps and can seriously improve the performance of Go-based ones).
Ng is a sound most Americans cannot make, including myself.

I just say 'wen' now, which is a step up from my initial 'engooyin'.
The Wikipedia articles on it might be approachable for a layperson with no particular background. I studied some linguistics in university and it's a hobby interest so I can't really judge that anymore. The articles have plenty of sound examples. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirated_consonant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_(phonetics)

English actually has all the relevant sounds in most dialects so I will try to explain in it reference to that. Most English dialects have environments where consonants are reliably aspirated, or not, depending on their voicing and surrounding environment. Unvoiced stops (p/t/k) in isolation "pat" or "cap" are moderately aspirated. Voiced stops (b/d/g) are not like "dog" or "bad". (Leaning on this pattern as a partial hack using a feature common in a lot of European languages, is why p and b are what they are in Pinyin, and many other Chinese romanizations.)

In principle, if your dialect does not have a length contrast for /æ/ after a voiced consonant (many do though including mine, making the vowel longer in that environment, so you'll have to try to say them with equal vowel length) then "pap" and "bab" (to rhyme with cap and cat) when whispered (no vocal chord movement, so all equally unvoiced) should be differentiated only by aspiration similar to Mandarin's p/b difference. Though aspiration is Mandarin is a bit more forceful.

As an aside, most people can hear the difference between those words when whispered, hearing a voiced or unvoiced consonant, based solely on the aspiration hint. Phonetic interpretation is a strange and subtle thing. And voicing in Mandarin? It plays the inferior role to aspiration's main starring role, a role reversal of the English arrangement.
