> Problem is likely mathematically solvable only when such a hub drives the cars too.

The great promise of self-driving cars of the future. Personally I am super stoked for these. All the comforts of a private vehicle with (almost) all the benefits of public transit.

I am not sure if we need central planning or the 'market' will solve the problem itself. I guess in a fully coherent world of cars some central hub with fair round robin uniform priorities would be best. In reality it is more likely that multiple competitors will arise (Tesla, Uber, Waymo) and we will not have central planning.

Here's how these things usually go: first, you start small. You build something you can show other people. You try to generate some traction and build interest around your idea, validating it at a very small scale (friends, family, "Show HN", etc). You gradually expand that cycle of people. You get into a routine of iterating on improvements, adding new features, and gradually scaling things up. You probably get a couple of people to join you on that journey, because the more popular your product becomes - the more asks you'll be getting, and the more work it takes to scale it out. Rinse and repeat.

The reality is that we can't expect every single hobby project to support every single use-case from day one. Painfully for all - the current state of things in this space is such that building accessibility into your product is not trivial and hence it gets postponed "for later".

Now, on to a completely honest question: why don't we have screen readers that can consistently translate the "visual" version to a version people with visibility impairments can understand in a more generic manner, without requiring every single piece of software to adjust itself to every single flavor of a screen reader? I'm honestly asking why can't we solve the whole problem by offloading it to the screen reader itself. Can we solve this by simply offering a text-only command-line like version of every product? (ie. as opposed to building "beautiful"/"designed" experiences that get downsampled by the screen-reader anyways)? Sort of like building a sitemap.xml file that lets the user with a screen reader do everything a user with the full-blown GUI can. Sounds like an opportunity to create a cross-industry standard?

Edit: getting downvoted for comments like this is why I'm honestly considering just closing my account and not participating in any more such conversations going forward.
The most difficult challenge I have with my “system” is the difficulty in searching and synthesizing. I want to be able to search my collection and find everything rank-related to the search term. I also want to do combined search that might result in conceptual intersections or innovative ideas. I have not found a tool to do this.

This lets you choose from multiple frameworks - comparing svelte against a few react variations, what I saw was that svelte was always fastest, but usually by a factor less than 2 (any react was 1.x times slower than the svelte).

The imba vs react numbers (from the article at https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-virtual-dom-is-slow-me...) shows a 30-40x speed difference.

Which ideologies? And which ideology do you want to replace those ideologies with? Do you see the issue?
I never claimed clojure couldn't do destructuring. That should be pretty clear. My complaint is that it isn't extensible without resulting to syntax that is very unlispy.

My complaint is the de-parenification of let. Why this form? It is easier to type, maybe, but visually it removes the distinction between binding, and makes any future extensions (like if clojure would gain multiple value support - however unlikely) impossible.

The strength of it is clearly visible SRFI-71 for scheme. Regular old let was trivially extensible to handle multiple values. And I trivially extended that to have pattern matching, without breaking any backwards compatibility.

You can typeset variables, parameters etc (ie. see the code in https://dev.to/somebee/global-type-augmentations-with-automa...). But declaring standalone types is still done in `.d.ts` files. Imho, the type inference in ts/js is getting so good that I very rarely need to declare any explicit types in my own projects.
It’s not OR but AND: as described in that article, the law firms didn’t come up with the lawsuit out of the blue but saw the hundreds of people who set up “victims” groups alleging all sorts of injuries caused by the vaccine.

It seems noteworthy that this was relatively early in the Internet reshaping society: these groups had websites but not massive companies like Facebook promoting them. This ability for people to self-organize and diagnose at a large scale is still having interesting ripple effects, both helping people with unusual conditions which are commonly misdiagnosed and helping build lawsuits or political movements from people who really aren’t interested in accepting the science.

I’ve found the biggest places to watch out for ticks are where not many people go. Little travelled trails. The heavily trafficked areas seem to have way less ticks.

My working theory is the deer to human ratio of an area determines how many deer ticks.
I think what he meant was that if Tao indeed has an IQ of 230, then on average one seven-billion-people-world out of every 57 million such (random) worlds contains one person as smart as Tao, or, that you need to sample something like 400 quadrillion people to find one such person. So your "122" figure doesn't seem to have any meaning here (at least to me).
heh - they are cute...And after watching mini-cheetahs do backflips, the no jumping thing can seem limited.

Supposedly we'll be seeing some chinese mini-cheetah clones soon at around $2k. That would make them quite a bit cheaper then the Aibo, and a potentially more capable hardware platform. Though, seems like the Aibo has the win on the software side.

I've thought about this a lot.
I considered "con" for constants. I don't hate it. It also works as a double entendre-- "con" in Spanish means "with". So the following code could be read as "with name equal to Brad".

con name = 'Brad'

I can't help but feel that it's somewhat jarring though.

If I had my druthers, I think I would choose "var" and "def" to declare mutable and immutable variables, respectively.

def PI = 3.1
def degreesToRadians = degrees => degrees * (PI / 180)

var degrees = 180
var radians = degreesToRadians(degrees)

Edit: After thinking about it some more, I think I prefer "const" over "con", but "def" over both.

It's probably not a problem in a place like that with some kind of privacy regulation. Import the concept to the US and it'll be outsourced to some company with sketchy security that'll find all its user data leaked in a year because they'll face no social, economic, or legal consequences for not preventing it. If they're not selling the data themselves.
Yeah but it’s annoying because I know there are people who would literally buy the package of 6 apples just cos it’s on a special promo. If it’s almost equivalent to the price of 2/3 apples, why not, right? And then they end up binning the rest that they can’t eat. So much food waste it’s crazy. They need to be more conscious in their decisions.
Sahraa Karimi: Filmmaker of Afghan urges people not to remain silent
Tbh, I think the js-framework-benchmark is flawed. It mostly tests the performance of the browser. I should write a whole blog post about this. Just as an example, all the table benchmarks uses a table with non-fixed width, which results in a full repaint AND layout of the whole table+page whenever a cell changes. If you change the table to a fixed width (as all real tables are) the relative difference between the frameworks increase by a factor of 5 or more.

And when you benchmark the speed of creating 10000 dom elements in an instant, less than 5% of the time should really be spent inside the framework one is supposed to test.

I stand by my claim in the mentioned article that tiny changes to a larger dom tree is a far better indicator of real world performance than anything else. Here Imba is really orders of magnitudes faster than react.

The last time I tested it, Imba was more than 10x faster than Svelte as well, but I'm not proficient enough in Svelte to claim that as a fact, and I have tremendous respect for Rich Harris and everything he's done with Svelte and other libraries.

My tax attorney gave me a list similar to that, but it only had 19 items. I think the items I didn't see on the other list were birthday cards, clubs and social groups and heirlooms. They've had some clients get grief from the FTB but a phone call can sort it out. My attorney of course offered to do this for me. This is my last year in California so I guess I will find out how hard this is.
I believe you intended this to be reassuring but consider how it reads to the many people who’ve had significant, long-term effects from the disease. Maybe tone it down a bit on the “no big deal” front and focus on the key part: “if promptly diagnosed” with the advice about prevention and detection that implies.

This sounds wonderful, but as a one man shop its missing something: customers.

I am solo at the moment but that still means I'm doing zoom meetings, trying to deliver features to a budget and a deadline, trying to keep on top of the books and cashflow and keeping my system up.

Customers aren't that different to having a boss. I do get the freedom to choose how things are done, but once your product ships you are no longer really free.

OK, still better than working as an employee, but it's still work.

Actually I agree that commieblocks/modern-architecture is very efficient in the same way as Ford's car factory in producing a lot fast. And just as Ford said that the car can be had in any colour as long as it black, so the architecture of this period is in any colour as it is dull concrete gray.

The dream of equality to the letter is what actually lead to this. We should all be equal => We must all live in ugly soulless copy-paste commieblocks. Would person A be less equal to person B if A lived in a box painted red and B lived in a box painted green? Le Corbusier et al obviously thought the answer is yes. I take a lot of issue with that.

Marble pools, huge gardens and other forms of opulence and luxury are a thing to cling in these arguments to but there are many many worker communities who lived in very beautiful buildings at the turn of the 20th century. Why not continue that strategy but go instead for ugliness? The ego of Le Corbusier and the desire to be modern and free of shackles of the past. WW2 destroyed Europe. What to do? Make it so ugly that no one ever again bothers destroying it.

By the way beauty was not completely lost in the communist countries. The new steel mill processing plant in Krakow is a community built in renaissance style.

In that case, as soon as you got more than 1 win you should notice an abnormality (according to back-of-the napkin 8 trials to perceive the difference, using frequentist stat).

Also, that assumes you only get information from win/loss. In reality, every interaction (monster damage) should provide information (too easy kills, abnormal damage).

It's one thing to cast a wide net to ensure that you are considering business partners from a range of backgrounds. It's another to explicitly ban certain races from a program, which I think is illegal under civil rights laws, although the Biden administration will take no action.
One thing to note is that they aren't judges as stated in the article, but are special masters. Another is that the VICP is not easy to get compensation from unless your condition is their already established list.

I'm dealing with an issue like this, and I can say the government/program does not "have your back". It should, and that was at least half of the reasoning behind the program, but it's a difficult process.
Isn't this what this is though? There are certain builds where if you follow them to a T, then the game is "easy" and you win almost always. If you just experiment then yeah you can win by some crazy stroke of luck, but most likely you will just have a bad time.

I had the same experience in Caves of Qud(which is great btw) - there are some builds that really really really work, and others which are unwinnable.

I havent used syntax highlighting in 8 years or so (global-font-lock-mode 0)

highly recommend it, if you could try.

for example this code[1]:

// the code will run twice
bool panic = true
while (true) {
panic = !panic;
if (panic) break;
}

I can argue is easier to read without highlighting.

I think colors break the flow of code in unintended ways, and mistreat comments (either overvalue with some pink color or undervalue with some toned down gray), and almost all themes make keywords extremely important.

That was not my complaint. My complaint is that the [id expr id expr ...] form has no benefits except for people disliking parens at the cost of making the let for impossible to extend in a backwards compatible way.

SRFI-71 for scheme extends let with support for values, like so:

(let ((q r (quotient/reminder 10 3))) ...)

This for is then also extensible (I have added pattern matching on top of it).

Clojure's is not.

(let [q r (hyptohetical-2-value-quotient/reminder 10 3)] ...)

Makes no sense in clojure.
Same! Or if I have to use one of their bags I put all the fruit and veg in the same bag and all the tags on it. Realistically it’s even less work for the cashier to scan everything all at once on one bag rather than pick up multiple packages and scanning them individually, so they have no excuse, really!
RSU's? Exercised options? My understanding is that you would pay taxes on shares sold. Shares not sold are not yet income. Taxes get paid when RSU's vest but that is usually done by your company on your behalf and the numbers will show up in your tax paperwork. A potential wealth tax may side step that however. Either way I let my tax lawyers figure all that out.
Is there any literature you'd recommend on the disjunction between credible ecosystem models and toy models? I don't disagree, I just want to know more about the middle space between toy on one hand and authoritatively callibrated on the other.

Also, the Systems Dynamics Review (SDR), https://systemdynamics.org/system-dynamics-review/ , is what I think of as the journal of record. I am also aware of some work by the Concord Consortium for simulation in education. What seems to get written up is either high effort/high cred (SDR) or edu/toy.

We keep chickens and I can tell you a domestic chicken roaming free in a high tick area would be gone in a few days. Hawks, foxes, raccoons, coyotes, whatever. They're domesticated and flightless.

What you want is guinea hens. They're voracious tick eaters. And will hide in trees, etc. at night. But also noisy as hell, and will walk all over roads.

Wild turkeys eat a lot of ticks, so we should be encouraging them.

Northern bobwhite quail are a native (to north america) quail which eat a lock of ticks. But they're near-threatened and very few of them in the wild and they also don't go as far north as New England (we have them here in Ontario but sparsely)
In my area there are over 120 deer per square mile currently. This number was historically 10, when predators existed. Studies have shown that around 30 deer per square mile is when biodiversity starts to suffer.

I live in the forest and manage my lot with guidance from foresters and nearby park rangers. It may take a hundred years for these current trees to die, but there's nothing to replace them. You can walk the understory and see knee-high trees that can't grow further because the deer prune their leaves.

Now I am curious :) I'll get a sleep study as my father most definitely would be a candidate for sleep apnea (can hear him stop breathing, his father the same also). I dismissed it as I rarely snore. A while back asked partner to monitor me, they always said I appear to sleep soundly but move a lot, same as my daughter.

11 hours seems normal for the child. For myself I normally sleep 6-8 hours (no choice) though I don't feel rested without 10-11 hours.

We function, but when compared to others I see rise bright and/or energetic in the morning, well it is rare I feel that way.
