It shifts like crap. We also have this transmission on an older Civic and I find myself giving up and switching to manual whenever I need to overtake or drive up a hill. Just give me a stick and a clutch or at least a sequential manual like the older convertible Smart has. My partner has developed bad urban driving practices such as accelerating and then immediately braking at a red light that could be clearley seen in order to compensate for the gearboxes' crappy behaviour. DSG double clutch is a dream to drive in compared to an automatic manual. I haven't used CVT but other drivers seem to have issues with that too.

Netlify + Hugo + minimal CSS + minimal JavaScript.

It's more for generating leads for freelance website/app design work but I want to try to get into blogging at some point.

I would recommend Hugo. It's simple, super fast and not overloaded with distracting setup and features. You shouldn't need much besides a landing page + blog page with shared header and footer. Don't overthink it.
My site is here: https://hsm.tunnel53.net/

If you want to try Hugo out, feel free to clone this repo: https://github.com/cpach/piper – It’s a very simple skeleton and you don’t even need a theme for it.

For hosting I warmly recommend AWS Amplify + GitHub.

Could still be a big deal in South America, Africa, and Asia. They have fewer issues with buildings that look bad, but are also less able to afford A/C. Those people are also going to be most affected by climate change, and would want cheap ways to reduce the impact of intense heat waves.
Just a side note, the opposide effect is can be achieved with a phenomenon called Subsurface Scattering (also used in 3d-cg). This has nothing to do with stars, though - unless a star exists that is translucent.
You’re giving your fingerprints, retina scans, and maybe also face scan information, to an untrusted company that could easily be broken into, just like all the others. You think having your credit card details compromised is bad? At least you can change your credit card number….

What do you think?

In Austin, Clear doesn’t really give you any advantages over TSA Pre. They are two separate and competing programs from different organizations, and have different standards of identification, along with different benefits.

I can’t speak for any other locations, but all the places I have seen Clear, it was just different from TSA Pre and not better, nor did it allow you to skip the scanning of your carryon luggage, allow you to skip taking off your shoes, etc….

Because my wife used to fly a lot, she basically forced me to sign up for both TSA Pre and for Clear, because she really, really hates waiting in lines. So, those programs achieved their goals — they got my biometrics, by creating a false security threat that lead to incredibly long lines.

And now we don’t fly anywhere, ever. But they’ve still got all my biometrics.

Even when I worked for the Defense Information Systems Agency and had a TS/SCI clearance, at that point no one had recorded my retina scans. OPM had my fingerprints, and they got compromised by the Chinese, but they didn’t have my retina prints. Clear does.
So like it's done for at least 1000 years?

It's because Windows uses the concept of subsystems for lots of pieces of its architecture. If you look at a process listing, you'll see lots of processes named "*ss.exe", where the "ss" stands for subsystem, like lsass, csrss, smss, etc.

Also back in the day Windows supported POSIX as a subsystem and some others as well. Each one was considered a Windows subsystem for that specific architecture. And now that there's one for Linux, we get WSL.

To my knowledge, Word on Windows still depends on Win32, which Xbox doesn’t have.

iOS and MacOS both use the mach kernel, on similar processors (at least in the current gen hw). Would you not say it’s validly “porting” if you were to take a MacOS app like say Word and alter it to run on iOS?
There's no way of accessing subscriber-only substack posts via RSS though, at least not without something else in the mix like a web scraper or a tool like kill-the-newsletter.

They do offer their own reader that aggregates all posts from substack you subscribe to and lets you add external feeds, which is nice, but then you're locked into that reader.
I only keep the RAW files for the final photos. Usually this is one or two files per “shoot.” So my cloud storage costs aren’t that high. Obviously this doesn’t work for everyone as there are lots of cases where you need to archive everything.
Yes, it is for people love checking out for domains. I do it quite often myself. The price was one-time and I'll let people who purchased it judge.

The main feature is to generate one-word or short domain names with different recipes, and help you find the available ones. Domain providers don't have the name generator feature.
I don't understand. One cookie is not as valuable as one hamburger, or one steel knife or one fighter jet. I think it's pretty awesome to make half a million boxes of cookies, but if it only pays 35 euro per day then it's really just a hobby or an art. A lot of art is like that. But not every painting can sell for a million dollars. I have had many great projects that turned out to be economic failures even though they made me happy and made other people happy... At the end of the day, I have to look at the results and say, this was my fault because I was in my own world, and I expected something unrealistic.

I accept that the money I get paid for my work is the only true indicator of what my work is worth. Lots of people can say they love my music, or my writing. But if no one buys my albums or my novels, I know they weren't very good albums or novels. I find a lot of peace in this knowledge. I don't have to wonder why the world is against me. I know that my work isn't good enough...and I have to try harder. Making not enough money from a long project is just the world telling me that I need to do better.

A job is a job. You just quit and find another one if your employer no longer wants you or wants you to do something you don’t care for.

The early free software was developed by the people using it, e.g. Emacs, GNU tools, Linux.

GPL is a code sharing agreement among the developers. You get value from the product and contribute back to it. If you need features, you add it yourself. If you find bugs, you submit a patch. The value is shared, and so is the cost, and so is the burden of maintenance.

It is only when people started commercializing free software that it became a problem.

Even Bill Gates was actually selling BASIC as Free Software, he had to make it proprietary because people were not paying him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists

On another note, a lot of free software is also produced by universities, they get paid by research grants, and they don't need users to pay them. They do usually require attribution which increases the citation count on their papers.
This doesn't seem especially wrong to me. There were a lot of horses after the cavalry era was over, and the cavalry era was over long before the generals realized it.

The next war is going to be a drone (low-intensity) and hypersonic missile (high-intensity) war... it's not going to look like Top Gun.
While the need for expats will come down, I don't think it is totally eliminated. Partly because when cultures are too different, trust becomes an issue. My wife works overseeing NGOs in places like India and a half-yearly or quarterly visit ensures that funds are being spent on activities they are claimed to be spent on. Just a random visit will ensure that toilets were constructed and they are usable and so on.
One of the first ECN trading platforms, Island ECN, written by Josh Levine, ran on DOS. So I guess you could definitely say that was a “DOS server.”

It's understandable if a reserved car occasionally isn't available because it was returned late, but it seems like most car rental companies don't even attempt to limit reservations based on their inventory. It seems like standard industry practice is to accept all reservations, then hope they can somehow come up with the cars, e.g. by borrowing cars from elsewhere.

The other day we were in a queue with ~20 families waiting for the cars they reserved, and it was clear none were available. Surely they didn't have that many late returns.

If there are some companies that do limit their reservations appropriately, I'd like to know their names please :)

> If there's a reasonable theory why this is, please explain.

The % of Americans fully vaccinated is too low to achieve herd immunity against the more transmissible delta variant.

> no democracy has been more aggressive about vaccinations than Israel

Israel is no longer even in the top 30 countries in terms of % of population fully vaccinated. Where they are having success is controlling breakthrough infections after a 3rd dose.

> I'd suggest that the properties of the vaccines (minimizing symptoms) makes it so that vaccinated people don't quickly realize that they're sick and go about their business normally and some can act as unwitting super-spreaders.

There is no evidence the vaccine delays symptom onset. It reduces the chances of severe symptoms and death.

> I'd discount it as unlikely given how viruses tend to mutate towards being less lethal in order to spread more

The delta variant originated in India, which was at the time the world’s largest population of unvaccinated people. No variants have emerged from highly vaccinated populations.

I agree, and people do tend to disagree, and not just because of security. Forced non-security updates for paid software should simply be mostly-illegal. For non-networked software, and most changes for networked software, it's a no-brainer. For breaking server API changes... you sell it, you have to support it let's say for 10 years.

I suspect having this requirement would also greatly improve API design...
> Have you seen motorbikes?

I have, I love them and there's a reason I don't ride one.

> 80km/h is very much reasonable

80 km/h is a speed at which people still die in modern full-size cars, and those have actual crumple zones and weigh about twice as much as the QQ.

> Nobody wants to drive at 30km/h

Not in a car, but most e-bikes and e-scooters go around 20-25 km/h and they're the mode of transport I was trying to enhance with my imaginary vehicle. I don't want a small car, because small cars have to share normal road infrastructure with big cars, even hellishly big cars (semis). I want a four-wheeled bicycle with a roof and a weak electric motor. I want it to share as much infrastructure as possible with bicycles (while endangering them as little as possible).
Right to repair has nothing to do with making devices thick or thin or waterproof or not waterproof. It's about manufacturers making schematics and spare parts available to consumers and third party repair shops, not voiding warranties when said third party repairs are performed and not arbitrarily DRMing parts so that they cannot be replaced.

Intel was (is?) using it to some extent. I owned a repo from 2019 - 2020 and there was a big push/timeline of all the different repo services and their EOL/move to Gitlab. Unsure it that's still the case or if the new POR is GitHub, thought I heard whispers of that about to change before I left.

Anyways, I had to migrate like 100+ users into Gitlab and setup/babysit the CI/CD output of that repository (which is not software, just documentation but the build/release process is not trivial). I actually didn't have too bad of a time all things considered, and none of the problems described here. Unsure how much of that was use case or people above me keeping my life easy but I was a happy user.
Depends on the make and model.
Very similar thing here, I live in the Bay Area and have a flat, bright white roof. On an 85 degree summer day, it’s a wave of cool comfort to walk through the front door, and I pay nothing for it.
It doesn't only look bad, it reflects the sun and probably into your neighbours/road etc at different times of the day. Silver roofs are banned here for that reason.
I feel like green roofs are a better option here
The anglosphere outside of north america
This is so profoundly universal.
There is no tradeoff. Apple providing the same schematics and spare parts that they already use internally to third party repairers and consumers is not going to magically make their products thicker or heavier. And I fail to see how any of this would have a negative environmental impact.

Where I am there was a daycare which streamed cam videos of its workers taking care of babies until it came out that some parent was masturbating watching the babies/nannies (his wife reported him). This is not that great an idea. Also, with deep fakes getting so much easier with more data someone could take your kids' images and create other videos which you have no idea of.

Well done. And I'd counter the naysayers by asserting that this is the only right way to go over the top of entrenched laziness. If it cost you the job, so much the better, because you'll never run short of clients desperately seeking someone who can think outside the box the IT department creates with every response saying "sorry, that's just not possible."
Sure, maybe. But even with no taxes on gas, (in WA state), they pay 3.29$ per gallon or so. With buses doing 3 mpg (https://afdc.energy.gov/conserve/mass_transit.html), that's still a dollar a mile. According to Indeed, driver salary here is about 20$/hr. Not sure how many miles a transit bus does an
hour, byt maybe somewhere in the 20-30 range? Honestly, no clue. So that equates maybe to the same as the driver's salary, right now.

Assuming gas prices were 10x (32.9$/gal), they'd be paying 200$ an hour just for gas.

Alright, this has gotten ridiculous. Anyway, higher gas prices would just drive alternative adoption, and that's good. I was just selfishly thinking of me having to drive my car with those prices ;)

This is a silly headline, but what can I expect from yahoo. Help certainly, but it does nothing for humidity. Down south we have to leave ac on somewhat even we go out of town, because the humidity damages stuff. I also wonder what this much reflective stuff might cause as other effects. Would reflecting all your sunlight onto other, non super white houses count as a negative externality? Seems like you'd double your neighbor's AC bill to halve yours.
> makes the city hostile to all except automobiles.

That's simply not true. I saw that working extremely well in downtown Vancouver nearly a decade ago. Parking can easily coexist with apartments and shopping and it can get the cars off the streets, increasing space for everyone.

> Zero tailpipe emissions.

Yes, because that's what a city needs to care about. Everything else is not city politics.

> Your plan would make your theoretical town less walkable and bikeable and force former cyclists and pedestrians to drive EVs.

That's simply not true. Offering enough parking decks (and, e.g., garages in apartment buildings) will remove parked cars from the streets. This gives space for slow bikes and pedestrians. Reducing the default speed will make live much better for fast bikes (I consider myself part of the latter group, btw. I speak out of experience).

> This would make the city less economically productive per sq km.

Since when is that suddenly an argument? First of all, taxes mostly go to the country, where I live. Second, the most economical mode if living would mean to move into some barracks close to the office, and third, transportation already plays a bigger role for local economy than density of living.

> Plus people can actually live in the latter. Is there a housing shortage in your city? There sure is one in mine.

I bet you are one of these people that buy the argument that building more roads leads to more congestion. Did it ever occur to you that building apartments could actually worsen the housing crisis?

Your proposal, to make cities walkable, inevitably increases the housing shortage and yields extremely dense quarters - something I would not consider livable at all. A city should have an upper limit of people per sqkm as it should have a minimum level of green and parks.

Pretty much. US and French MIC has always been filthy competitive. UK needs the $$$ after Brexit. AU both willing and IMO unable to object. It's just a very sensible geopolitical arrangement once the interest calculus is crunched. AU was always going to concede to US orbit. Getting US Nuke tech transfer is a big deal, consolation prize for $$$ from PRC that AU lost to US. Assuming the procurement goes through fine, which I doubt. As I mentioned in other post, IMO it's foot in door for other US assets that can be reoriented short term than SSNs that may or may not show up for 30+ years.

If I could redesign popular OSes in god mode, blocking the UI thread for more than a few 100s of ms would crash the app with no workarounds.
