No roads? Why not to build one?

Road building was synonymic with mafia from even before the USSR collapse in Russia.

So, my father, back in mid-late nineties simply imported equipment from China, hired labourers, built the road for our village for 1/8th of what the mafia asked, and then sold the equipment on the open market.

Money is power. Don't be ashamed to use it for the right cause.
Oh, good, you mentioned DOORS. It boggles the mind what it is that thing brings to the table.
>I think it's being ahead of the curve. Setting the expectation for not only what they might run into out there, but what to expect when they get home. If anything you should combine the two approaches.

Wholeheartedly agree with this. Well said.

I think you see this in kids of almost any age. Saying no can backfire. I do my best with my own kids to explain why I'm allowing or disallowing something, and find it works better than hard and fast restrictions. My hope is to translate this frequent conversation into the same conversation when they're older, opinionated, and rebellious. It will not work perfectly, but I think that a lifetime of deliver no answers won't work in my favor.

I think the only useful way to implement AST-level diff/merge for non-trivial codebases would require the compiler to provide the parsed AST, since per-file ASTs would lack a lot of context. You could also ask the user to provide a separate file or files that describe the code topology, but why bother when the compiler can spit out an AST itself? A diff tool which targets a few of the bigger build systems (CMake, Maven, Gradle) and compilers might work, and could worry about small build environments after gaining momentum.
I mean you could theoretically copy some really simple animal brains (10k neurons or so) to see how it interacts with the real world in an actual 'in silico' experiment.
> Do you force them to send their kids to public school in order to bring up the lower income children?

As in, peer learning? It's the schooling systems job to accommodate and support, not kids?
Have you ever tried doing that? It works for about 5 minutes until the bag disolves.
In Italy I can buy gas everywhere as much as I want/can.
There are anticipations of truck drivers shortage in Italy too, but guess, there's a whole EU labor market to try to fix that.
Yeah, agreed. I think it's a bit like working with a legacy system, where you might begin by testing and measuring its interactions with external interfaces, and then can start to gradually replace pieces with new components.
> And I tend to imagine (perhaps uninformed) that these systems don't catch any small details.

The systems basically direct user work, so you have a pretty good level of detail, particularly as users will also often scan to tell the system when they are doing other stuff for instance breaks:

* Go to location X (User scans barcode)
* Take 2 of item and confirm (User scans barcode on each of the two items)
* Now go to location Y (User scans barcode)
* Take 1 of item and confirm (User presses not-found)
* Now go to location Z (User scans lunch break barcode)
* Please scan lunch break finished when complete (User scans lunch break complete)
* Now go to location Z (User scans location)
* Take 1 of item and confirm (and so on)

Each prompt and response is recorded as a transaction in the WMS, and then the total time estimate is calculated afterwards based on those transactions.

> That is, very few people are noticeably better than the median worker. But many people just don't work at all

Absenteeism is a huge problem - you are absolutely right! Yeah, it can be easy to hide in a giant DC. Regardless of how good of a manager you are and how much you walk around, if an associate decided to spend their full shift hidden behind some pallets reading a book, it would be really hard to notice their absence without seeing that they picked nothing on the system (particularly when you have a team of 30!).
Your statement is only not incorrect because you couched it with "if you want text rendering to be consistent across platforms" but that really has nothing to do with anything. Every major desktop OS has native text rendering APIs that you can link against without shipping any additional dependencies, and they all work great if you're on the latest OS. Just use the native APIs and you don't need to reinvent the wheel.
Chmod 766 learnToScript.sh?

I have noticed the same thing regarding Python and Perl. It's sometimes difficult to get the same program to even run on adjacent minor versions of Python. There are multiple xkcds about sorting out your Python environment: https://xkcd.com/1987/ https://xkcd.com/2510/ (see title text)

Meanwhile, I have Perl programs deployed that have been running with no changes for over 15 years.

It's actually the zlib format. The linked post says DEFLATE, but the linked source code correctly mentions zlib instead.
Oh yeah, there are definitely additional costs and complexity involved.

Im just saying that these cloud service providers offering managed services should be covering all that - they certainly charge as if they do!

And in the case of heroku - and their specific architecture - it is not that complex. Im aware that other cases may vary.
I got a call from apple.. They want me to change the app icon, apparently that was the issue. I don't believe it thoughh, the appeal responder actually said that "your app has voiceover but the rejection still applies". It doesn't make any sense, they still said oh I'm sorry and we will handle it better in the future blah blah.. Let's see if changing the app icon does something. Anyway the game is back with the iOS 15 update, so if anyone wants to try it out...

> Any tips on to persuade a stakeholder , senior leader, or your team lead that their area of focus is not a core part of the business without them feeling defensive about their status within the company?

To get buy-in you have to provide value for them that aligns with their needs. If they desire a delusional feeling of outsized importance within an organization then you need to be quite creative. It's more likely that their needs are simpler though. They need to feel they are getting value from you, even if the other parts of the business hold more of the cards.

Try to find simple things to fix for them, choose to build out features with their input, and when building new features for the main stakeholders try and prioritize items which help multiple stakeholders. This is good practice in any case because in the long-term things can change quite significantly within organizations and you don't want to be perceived as only an ally of some within the business.

UPDATE: Beware of quantifying too much. This really impresses some people but will make others feel really small. You may completely lose a connection with one of the smaller stakeholders by quantifying every detail and calling out big numbers around the large stakeholders. You need to work qualitatively for the most part for them. If you want to use numbers, pilot something with a small stakeholder and make a 25% increase to their sales (or a cost reduction). If big holders can get a similar percentage then that translates to big numbers. It feels like a big number to both groups.
And how do construct a search that can stream results in descending order of similarity, that's faster than O(N) for N values in the database?
Oops. Sorry. You are right.

>Not accepting results in the US is bad for democracy. Accepting faked results in authoritarian countries is even worse for democracy.

What if the election was indeed stolen? You must accept the results? Do you just accept the results no matter what? It seems like you have to do that because it's bad for democracy otherwise right?

Lets say you accept the results, but what do you do in the face of probably a stolen election?

Isn't it over 50% of US states changed/updated their election rules since this last election? I guess actions speak louder than words. I don't know if I have seen so many states agree they needed to fix something so universally and so quickly. Politicians rarely work so quickly.
Once enough time has passed to give proper retrospective stats, I am very curious to know if there is a clear dividing line between the harm of remote learning at the elementary grades compared to high school or college or if it gradually tapers off in later elementary school into the baseline education reduction in high school.

I'll also admit to not thinking that a missed semester of school was a big deal. Why'd I ever think that? I only thought of the glacial pace of American middle and high schools and elementary grades simply skipped my mind entirely. There's no way to teach a child to read over Zoom.

Seriously?!? If the lab leak discussion had been suppressed just a little bit more, would we even be talking about it today?

Wrong ideas have always existed and always been part of life. From a pile of wrong ideas, a few right ones emerge.

I'm old enough to remember well the plethora of 9/11 conspiracy theories. Some of them were quite offensive to the people who suffered and died on that day. But I never called for suppression of free speech because of it.

Yep, you're asking a lot of the AI gods, but then again if you don't have big dreams, how is big change ever going to happen? :D

Yes, right now it only changes the icon for a tape, even though we actually track and save it at a per-second level. Obviously there is quite a bit room for more use of this in the future, but the icon is a start :-). Also notice, by the way, that the waveform is black for music and grey for speech - particularly handy in a jam session. You can see exactly when a take started and when it ended.

So called "blind source separation" (i.e. get multitracks from just one mic) is possible today, but with fairly audible artifacts. The most popular library in use today is Spleeter [1], which is based on Andreas Jansson et al.'s work at Spotify [2]. There are newer algorithms in academia, a good overview is provided at [3]. If you want to do something today, iZotope's RX is very good, and a great example that demonstrates how good old DSP engineering can dramatically reduce the unwanted artifacts even in new ML-based approaches.

Then again, my real question would be: why would you want a multitrack recording from your jam session? Is it to be able to further adjust the mix afterwards? Do you need the individual instrument tracks for practicing? Would be really interested in hearing your use case :-).

Hi. Sorry, I missed this reply. That's exactly what I did do actually. So, maybe I've done something wrong? I'll double check Audacity again.
Ask HN: Whats happening with middle-mile autonomous trucks?
This seems like an easy win. A lower technical barrier. Cost advantages (especially with e-trucks and slower/automatic charging).

Why is no company taking this market? Certainly no one with a tesla/nikola buzz.
It doesn't bother me being in Australia. There is going to be much unknown with climate change so dashing somewhere at this point seems getting ahead of oneself. For example northern Europe might actually become colder due to changes in the gulf stream making that less habitable. And I suspect the earlier 'serious' effects will be in middle east and northern Africa. Australia will likely find farming pushed more to the coast, but most people live coastal anyway, and that should offer some temperature protection.

Being part of a nation with abundance in food and resources + a wealthy educated population has to be a big advantage in adapting to the changes.

Generally I think people catastrophise climate change a bit much from a will we survive perspective. Its going to be bad, but humans are smart and resourceful. This is going to happen over a long time by human standards so there will be plenty of time to respond and adapt, even if that means living in caves or biospheres much of the time. I think the environmental loss will be sad and westerners will see declines in our living standards as we need to readapt to a new world. but overall most western nations should continue on and the worst will be those unfortunate to be in poorer and badly located geographies like Bangladesh which will be hit in multiple ways.

And there could be any number of events like serious conflict between now and 50+ years so who knows....

The UK joined in '73. After the terms were finalised there was a referendum in '75 where the public agreed to stay in.

"Never given any kind of referendum" is far fetched.
Not helping them solve their problems is different than actively punishing them.
Sure, but it's important to spell out exactly which probability range they refer to -- unless you ground people in concrete numbers, they have a tendency to think they mean the same thing but actually mean very different things. (This is known as the illusion of agreement, for further reference.)

About verification I think you're right in a very specific sense: you clearly cannot verify that any single estimation is correct, range or not. However, meteorologists and other people dealing with inherent and impenetrable uncertainty have found out that a historic record of accuracy is as good as verification.
I've been in a similar situation so I hear you. It is so mentally draining.

Throwaways are rampant on arguing against strawmen... Hmmm...

No one has argued that a heavier car will go faster.

I am arguing that because the weight is low it handles better than a car of the same mass with ICE distribution of weight.

I'm arguing that because the weight is not 'just to lower CoM' but instead 'to allow insane amounts of rapid energy release' the NET RESULT is something ICE can not accomplish.

Another throwaway account mentioned the Panamera turbo S beat the plaid by 5.7 seconds on the nordschliefe... Ignoring the fact that the plaid was carrying 90% too much battery for the circuit, the ICE was not carrying excess fuel, and that the 'ICE' is actually a hybrid and the identical car (Panamera turbo) without electric power was another 5 seconds slower than plaid /despite/ fueling down.

Also your friction force purism ignores that the behaviour of a car at it's limits has a huge effect on how the driver can drive the circuit.

A heavy EV with low CoM can be driven at or near the limit of traction without risking an F1 style spinout when tires chirp.

If you've driven a Tesla you know how difficult it is to get off it's turning line.
If you live in the USA you should be able to order online and then go in person to like a labcorp or whatever. If you ever got a drug test for a job, thats the sort of place that usually does it.

It's just that the shelves in the UK are empty, and in the other countries they aren't. Both in the UK and in the rest of the EU there already was a shortage of professional drivers. And the companies in the UK do seem to blame the VISA situation as a major contributing factor.
Given the fact that the market with gas is global, that the EU has almost no local sources of gas under its control and that gas availability / price is fluctuating rather heavily, I would try avoiding reliance on gas too. As of today, it isn't any more reliable than wind.

I know a headteacher from a fairly disadvantaged area in the UK. He said a lot of the kids will never recover.

Hopefully soon, it will no longer be contraversial to say that lockdowns (especially any that lasted longer than the initial "flatten the curve for 2 weeks" we were all promised) caused more harm than good.

For a (Western) society that is obsessed with helping the needy, it's just incredible that something that obviously would hurt the poorest very hardest was also something that could not be disagreed with.
Parents freak. The. Fuck. Out. If you touch their kids' phone, these days. You can maybe keep it to the end of the day (and some parents will still complain, "what if I needed to reach them?" Gee, I dunno, maybe call the office, just like all of history since schools got office phones) but past that, phew boy. No.

I'm shocked that schools allow phones at all, and that they're not harsher on kids when they find one, but I gather messing with phones is a really good way to have pissed-off parents up your ass, and schools all really hate that, so they give in. Result: constant phone shenanigans.

I think one would run into trouble with the local hard-power gatekeepers in most places with this approach. I believe South Africa had a problem where activists tried to improve water supply infra but got blocked by the local government (which was and is doing a terrible job).
As someone who's battled with that last point, it's not only the 'intake' side of things (it can be weeks or months before you can get an evaluation, then weeks afterwards before any results can be tabulated)—but even if you do get any kind of evaluation, good luck finding counselors.

Only about 10% of the counselors we called would even call back, and of that 10%, almost all of them said they would not accept any new patients, indefinitely. A couple had openings within a year or so, and one or two had any availability in a shorter time frame.

Not sure what all the reasons are, but I'm guessing it's the perfect storm of more kids needing more services in this unprecedented time, more counselors on the older side retiring early, and funding for these programs being a continual battle.

Also, while the details of the vaccination are contained in the payload, the app displays only the bare minimum of data to the user: verified vaccination status, and the holder's name to compare with photo ID (required in BC for adults).

I appreciate that the data contained in the code is as minimal as it can be, while the official app is displaying even less. Working off-line should keep it reliable as well, since it does not make or require server calls. This too would be different from Portpass, since it apparently stopped working.
