The solution to this is plentiful, well-placed municipal parking garages priced cheaper than street parking. Santa Monica does this where they have about 6-7 city-run garages spaced throughout the city with easily visible electronic signage indicating the amount of available spaces. Street parking is much more spare and priced higher. It's an enlightened alternative to tearing down buildings for more single-level lots. See Google Maps satellite view of Spokane, WA for how not to handle city parking - about half of downtown is gray asphalt.
I tried the most recent ISO from the "Releases" page using Parallels, and it didn't boot (failed to find a Lua file under /boot).

Did anyone manage to try it out?
Lyft Line and Uber Pool were usually $4-5 around San Francisco before COVID and you can use electric bikes through the bike share for $15 for the entire month. Obviously it’s easier if you live near the walkable area, but it doesn’t need to be as expensive as you claim and SF is one of the more expensive cities.
If you polled the population, chances are they'd support torture, rape and execution as punishment for abusers.

The real crime is child abuse. Material related to that is also illegal because it presumably creates demand for the abuse. Whether that's actually true I don't know.
I've heard guys say "My goal is to stop coding after two years in the industry".

It's tough to stay motivated and learn constantly when you don't like engineering and coding...

I note that on my iOS iPad some of the symbols render as a empty boxes, e.g. in the Fizzbuzz example the left arrows point to an empty box. I have no idea if that is in fact the correct symbol—it could well be! (Also, I have no idea if this could be corrected.)
Stupid article. African-American is the best term to use. How can you use the term 'Black' and then refer to someone who is the same color if not darker and call them Indian or Latino/Latinx/Hispanic.

Also I agree with Coldtea^^^
knowing Apple, the initial scan of this will be done while the phone is on charge just like previous versions of scanning your library. However, according to Apple it is just the photos shared with iCloud. So since it's on a charger, it's minimal electron abuse.

Once you start adding new content from camera to iCloud, I'd assume the new ML chips of Apple Silicone will be calculating the phashes as part-and-parcel to everything else it does. So unless you're trying to "recreate" known CP, then new photos from camera really shouldn't need this hashing done to them. Only files not originated from the user's iDevice should qualify. If a CP creator is using an iDevice, then their new content won't match existing hashes, so what's that going to do?

So so many questions. It's similar yet different to mandatory metal detectors and other screening where 99.99% of people are innocent and "merely" inconvenienced vs the number of people any of that screening catches. Does the mere existence of that screening act as a deterent? That's like asking how many angels can stand on the head of a pin. It's a useless question. The answer can be whatever they want it to be.
that was very cool.

I wonder if it would scale up at all.
Yup, I rarely ask "what's this code do" or "how does this code do that".

But "why the fuck" is a daily occurrence.

Self documenting code explains how and what. If you need a comment to explain how and what its a code smell. Sometimes it's ok but ideally it should be rare.

I try not to overcomment but when I write code that looks confusing or clever I try to explain why I've done it that way.

If I'm optimising, I'll explain why.

If I'm making an assumption about something related but elsehwere I'll explain that.

If I'm leveraging some context that isn't explicit, I'll explain that.

...

Also, type of code matters, glue code rarely needs exhaustive comments.

Library code often gets line by line commentary so when someone comes in to change something for their use case they have a clear understanding of what they're really changing, and who and what might break because of their change.

I notice library code tests often get more comments explaining what and why I'm adding an assertion.

Glue code test rarely needs comments in tests.
The two terms imply fundamentally different motivations.

Free Software came first, with the motivation being maximizing user freedom.

The term Open Source was created as a marketing hack in response to the observation that open collaboration lead to higher quality software but Free Software was being misunderstood as "cheap software".

While many Open Source advocates appreciate the freedom it provides, in the early days the focus was almost entirely on quality as they tried to increase awareness. Richard Stallman's reaction at the time made it very clear he felt that Open Source was trying to hijack his mission to provide user freedom and replace it with corporate value as the new goal.

(I suspect rms still does, but I stopped watching him tilt at windmills about a decade ago. We owe him a lot for laying the foundations that made F/OSS possible, but we owe just as much to many other early contributors, including Bruce Perens and Eric S. Raymond for the Open Source marketing hack that built on that foundation. Not to mention Netscape, Mozilla, & IBM for demonstrating that F/OSS was for more than just "long haired hippies".)
"In this context, there’s another number there that I think is really interesting: The “km/c-h”, how far you can get on an hour’s charge. For this particular car on this selection of chargers, it was over 200km (124 miles) per charge-hour. I think that’s enough? Maybe in the lower regions of enough, but there."

So at 110km/h, less than 2 hours of driving for every hour spent charging? In what world is that close to "enough"?
My next car will likely be an EV, but the evangelists hand-waving away limitations like this do nobody any favors.
Not to justify their behaviour, but, i think it is technically possible to have a ; character be part of an email address.

It is not possible to have a , character, so that one is always safe to use as a separator (as From: does)

Let's not get hysterical. Breakthrough cases will happen. That they cluster is no great surprise at all.

Is covid a nuisance for Gibraltar? No. But it's far from the threat it was pre-vaccine.
While a useful technique, it seems like this gives a new dimension to the problem of "what color is your function?"
Thanks for the reminder. I knew that once, but completely forgot about it!
"Looking at the other startups they support lately it is sad to see what they have become: Supporting minoritie's interests for the sake of it (statistics)."

They're investing for the most part in startups that have opportunities for significant growth, besides a small number of charitable ventures. Here, streaming is a big deal and starting in the US but pushing into Africa is a potential opportunity. Other recent startups have been financial plays in India or South America or similar - proven plans in new, broadly populated areas. Are they supposed to wait on PayPal or whoever to tailor their service to suit a particular country?

Do you personally read your local newspaper waiting for them to add tech commentary or do you visit and post on Hacker News?

If YC are wrong and there's little interest, they've thrown away a tiny amount of money. On the whole, they've been right, however. It doesn't cost you or I anything.

I'd rather see them try this than all of us support a streaming monoculture.
Our reliable reconstruction of the climate record from tree rings ends so we can't say whether there were more severe droughts.

The topic itself seems interesting, it's just the article itself that's of particularly poor quality.

While there may be legitimate philosophical issues that could be addressed in a scholarly manner, I feel like the article is written like celebrity-gossip from a tabloid. Seems more about flinging mud than anything intellectual.
My census tract in Chicago is denser than 96% of America. There are like two high-rises, one for seniors and some shorter new construction near the transit stops in the 5-6 story range.

The bulk of my neighborhoods density is created by missing middle housing, two and three flats, four-six square apartments, and a healthy smattering of SFHs on narrow lots.

I have a backyard. My neighbor grows a garden in between her house and her two car garage. She pollinates her garden with the honey bees she keeps.

The dichotomy between “car centric suburbia” or “huge 100 story high rises” is false. You can get to walkable density without going over three stories on average.
But companies did not, and generally do not, want to build in them. Which makes them particularly difficult to make walkable.

Having been interested in APL, but never taking the plunge and learning it, I've seen this article "Notation as a tool of thought" (this is linked in the submitted article as well) thrown around: https://www.jsoftware.com/papers/tot.htm

The paper kicks off with a quote by George Boole: "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."
Having a terse language in itself can lend itself to thinking about problems and playing around with them in your head more effectively. I know when I'm thinking about an algorithm to be implemented in something like java there isn't room for all the boilerplate in my head. Stuff like "public static void main..." gets fuzzed out when thinking about a solution, to be replaced the idea of "place where main method is".

I like the idea of boiling down useful abstractions to the most simple symbols we can manipulate mentally, to be able to fit the most possible high level abstractions in our mind at the same time. This should make it possible to be able to play more with constructing solutions. Never feeling particularly locked down because you have to manipulate a lot of syntax and curly braces to implement or think about an idea. That you only have to switch around a few symbols for a change in semantic meaning.

Having never learned something like APL myself, I can't speak personally about the effectiveness of this idea.
Many people get a few dozen over a long weekend. So, it’s a long way from zero especially when you consider just how many people visit these parks.

They do put in a fair amount of effort. However, a much more effective solution would be to avoid having large bodies of water near people, but that would make the park less visually appealing.
300 cases for 30k population?

With 99% vaccinated, that's 10% of the unvaccinated population
Aw, hush. That’s a needlessly antagonistic take.

Someone can say “I like driving” without us assuming that they’re totally ignorant of the negative externalities.

I can say “I like ice cream” without you having to say “you like saturated fat??? you like increasing your risk of diabetes????”
Exactly right. EVs are perfect for day-to-day commutes and what not where it's drive a distance, let it sit for several hours (while at work or at home at night), lather-rinse-repeat. Long distance continuous driving would be brutal with an hour pitstop every couple of hours.
That's entire memo sounds completely tone deaf and delusional.

It's shocking to me that they don't even acklowege the critisms and fully ignore them. It would be one thing if they said that the potential implications are worth it, but they don't even acklowege them.
> i'm well aware of how messy the world is

No, you are not. Not even close.
> the tram station outside of the park

Which is, as you said, outside the park, so I don't see this anecdote contradicting the original statement. In fact, it even helps to show how much mosquitoes Florida usually has, strengthening the original premise.
Most Americans would say the Netherlands is tough for driving I think because the cars are smaller, the lanes are smaller, there is light rail everywhere, many pedestrians and bikers everywhere, etc.

I think all these decisions are why the Netherlands are so lovely and most of America is seemingly highways, strip malls, and suburbs.

One of the most popular Dutch vacations is biking around the country and camping instead of staying at hotels. It’s quite far from American car culture in that regard.
I agree that lsp is a necessity nowadays, and I was almost willing and close to give up emacs. And then emacs got proper lsp support (even in at least two forms, lip-mode and eglot), and now I'm happy.
"Why Disny World has (Almost) No Mosquitoes".
I don't see why we would believe they are not already doing this? Today's news is just that they can now legally take action on it.

Also the whole SWAT scenario is a bit far-fetched, as they will most likely read thru your entire life (don't forget they already have access to it) to make sure they don't look stupid on the news.
Might be a Canadian thing. Toronto is similar. If I recall correctly, Toronto operates the second most used public transit system in the United States or Canada, while the public transit authority there is the largest parking garage operator in North America.

It’s a pretty good solution for medium-sized cities, but it breaks down as population increases. Toronto has largely stopped building these garages because they’ve run out of room for them after immense population and ridership growth.

Toronto is a pretty big though, so it’s still a solution worth exploring for medium-sized cities that can still reasonably build these facilities.
The vacant housing and the homeless people are in different places. You would need to forcibly relocate people to use that vacant housing.
Oh, by 'telegraphing their intention' I meant their future intentions towards their phones -- although the executive director at the NCMEC was also clearly phoning it in.
I want to get a deeper box in eventually, but I have the feeling I should hire an electrician to do that, then the dry wall will have to be redone, and...maybe it isn't worth it now. Besides, I can get some good battery operated cabinet lighting to replace the ones I sacrificed the switch on.
The NCMEC director claimed "many thousands of sexually exploited victimized children will be rescued" because of this system. It can't detect new abuse images if I understand correctly. And don't most arrests happen after a victim talks to another adult? Or someone notices signs? Are many thousands of active child molesters discovered through scanning online photos?
According to a preliminary analysis you can find reported on at https://www.climate.gov/news-features/event-tracker/prelimin..., current models say that the event was a 1/1000 year heatwave with global warming, and a 1/150,000 year event without.

Those numbers are extreme enough to make me question whether the model's tails are heavy enough, but yeah. It basically wouldn't have been possible without global warming.
It's actually good news that they think this. It means they have no concept of or understanding of what's happening to the world, and that means they're not capable of becoming the "elite" you mention.

Being in NZ is pleasant but it's just as vulnerable as the rest of the world to climate change and war, and being there won't protect them anyway... it just isolates them and makes it easier for them to be found in the event that we need someone to blame for the decay of civilization.

Protip for the apocalypse: If you want to be in charge after the end of the world, don't hide out... use your wealth to stockpile easily maintainable farming and manufacturing machines and parts, durable goods that will be difficult to maintain after a collapse, weapons to defend them and maintainable/repairable means of transportation. Don't assume you'll be able to scavenge parts or working machines, plan to manufacture what you need yourself from raw materials and be able to manufacture (with great effort, of course) new machines and tools.

Also critically important is a means of creating safe water, preferably also with maintainable machines and processes.

If the world ends, the people who can maintain a more advanced level of technology than average and use it to feed people and control territory will be the most powerful. That's one thing Mad Max got right.
I would like to bet Apple's market value against that number being correct in an adversarial context.

In Europe this is solved by having a train station in the center. Even the little towns have them which is why it can be lovely to spend a day exploring the area whereas in the United States it’s often easier to assume a small town will have little walkability and maybe you’ll just stop there for gas.
Could you point to the regulation that requires this?
Interesting! It still doesn't quite shake my suspicion that the best documentation for Emacs is "find somebody else who knows more about Emacs than you do," but to be fair that's not unique to Emacs. :)
> What future, exactly?

Electrified transportation, vastly improved medical imaging and diagnostics, vaccines for the most widespread and deadly diseases (like malaria), cleaner air by replacing coal with renewables, earth-facing satellites that let us learn about the planet that our lives depend on, etc, etc, etc.

If all of these things are nothing more than space toys and vroom-vrooms to you, and if the existence of wealth generated by their provision to people like us is so anathema to you, why don't you move to a country where you won't be bothered by such things?

This is a serious question, not just a love-it-or-leave-it polemic. If you so hate the accommodations of the developed world and the manner in which they're provided, why stay?

Well, hold up, let's clarify what's meant by "do wrong."

A lot of people deeply involved with the free software and open source movement(s), including people who worked at the FSF, had been unhappy with him as a leader for a long time. https://wingolog.org/archives/2019/10/08/thoughts-on-rms-and... (GNU project maintainer, summarizing - with links - views of other GNU maintainners) and http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html (long-time FSF staff, Conservancy cofounder, and 2021 FSF awardee) are good places to start reading. Or see how FSF staff unionized (unusually for tech!) to protect themselves from him (https://twitter.com/paulnivin/status/1374532930400227328 , https://twitter.com/NovalisDMT/status/1172573166956437505).

It's true that that blog post (which was not anonymous, there's a name on it???) is what catalyzed something to actually happen, and you can dispute whether the blog post by itself merited anything. And - largely because these were things that a small group of people were trying to handle internally (did you know that the FSF staff are unionized?) - there didn't seem to be much public discussion beyond that one blog post. The GNU maintainers' mailing list is private, the discussions between FSF board members are private, etc. So, it certainly looked to the casual observer like it was a single blog post. But that wasn't the reality.
Played with TC for an hour or so this evening, and what I stated above (possibly poorly) still stands.
I chose google maps in particular, because it is an application that requires telemetry data to function; but it is reasonable for an individual to not want to be tracked when not using google maps.

If I block infinitedata-pa.gogleapis.com, maps will not function, but google maps will continue to collect telemetry data on my phone if it is running and has permissions. It will save that collected data until a user unblocks essential monitoring in order to use maps (Unless the user clears cache/data, or uninstalls maps, before unblocking).

That is the case I am pointing out, tc is a stopgap (and a welcome/useful one) but it does _not_ provide users a way to prevent _collecting_ of telemetry data to be sent off the device. It just delays the sending until the applications use is more valuable than the users privacy.

Edit: Things that could help with that:

1. Physical kill switches for radios (I know, that's not going to happen from any major arm cpu maker, the SOC is integrated, but it's the most practical solution.).

2. Granular permissions settings for androids network location provider. As an example, A permission that if app is running in the background send spoofed location data back (Once again, it's not that simple telemetry data is coming from many sources, I'm just listing what solves the problem.).

I can confirm this. Been using emacs for ~7 years now and my config keeps getting smaller and smaller, not bigger.
While I still have my beloved config file, I'm confident that I'd be able to reproduce it within a few minutes from scratch, most of my customizations in there do not affect my workflow anymore.

On one of my machines I'm just using default emacs. Maybe going from all the customizations back to vanilla emacs was part of me "learning emacs" but I think I'd tell my past self that I don't actually have to read up as much as I did and that emacs and vim aren't as scary as many people tried to make me believe.

In the end learning to do the same old things as with other editors doesn't really take more than going through the tutorial, most people will already work as fast or faster by then, before I took the dive into vim and emacs I was very a "mouse and arrow keys" guy when it came to text navigation and editing.

There are of course many things that could be improved when it comes to emacs defaults, I wish the devs were more open to update some of the low hanging fruits.
