Washington DC is split on the issue lately and the tension is growing rapidly as incidents are not going down after years of introducing road changes that are meant to protect riders and pedestrians.

As someone who only had a bike when I first moved to the city, it was a great way to get around, because the population was not booming, and back then, it was pretty clear that roads were dangerous because there weren't bike lanes, the roads were for vehicles quite obviously...

Now novice riders can use their credit card, share the street with all kinds of vehicles, and just wobble along, learning how to ride on streets near to dangerous heavy machinery. Car people in a rush to make a doctor's appointment or work also drive irresponsibly without understanding the danger involved, when there are better answers to keeping everyone commuting together flowing and safe. Slowing traffic down does not work in a city, it's a costly fact, this is why safety is not improving, and why there are many weekly bicyclist/pedestrian deaths reported in DC every year.

1. Bicyclists in DC do not pay taxes, and don't contribute to the vast infrastructure spending that they benefit from regularly. The more a city spends on bike lanes ETC

2. In DC, we have months of winter and rainy weather that make consistent riding not feasible, unless riders don't have a choice financially but to ride a bike to work.

3. Road updates in DC have been very frustrating to drivers, as traffic lanes in an already congested city are reduced and dedicated to transit lanes, and as speed limits are reduced to account for more bicyclists.

4. Traffic light technology in DC has not been updated in many decades to account for better traffic flow and signals that cue everyone properly about safety... I personally am bewildered at why lights don't project lines on roads at this point to signal which lanes are to stop and proceed, especially downtown... Somehow revenue generating technology like speed and stop sign cameras don't really help people, but they are being deployed more and more (also covertly) each year.

There are relatively inexpensive, much more effective, and efficient technology changes that could happen than increasing speed cameras, especially to stop lights and in properly marking roads, but year after year cities like DC choose profit generating activity that does not reduce frustration nor increase safety for drivers nor bicyclists.

Talking about the issue with people in DC is always contentious, many law makers live close to their work and don't understand that living uptown is different from commuting a few blocks to work on a bike. People are all trapped in their own personal perspectives, and not willing to consider the different perspectives involved in order to improve outcomes... DC is a political city in every way.
Ask HN: Is anyone else annoyed by the bug in the comments links?
Between Oct 27th and Oct 28th the HTML code for HN's front page changed from:

Oct 27th: <a href="hide?id=29010103&amp;goto=news">hide</a> | <a href="item?id=29010103">18&nbsp;comments</a>

Oct 28th: <a href="hide?id=29022887&amp;goto=news">hide</a><a href="item?id=29022887"> | 31&nbsp;comments</a>

The space and vertical bar between "hide" and the "XXX comments" is now part of the link for the comments.

Could it be fixed please? Thanks!
A good place to look at is the milestones on GitHub: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specificatio...

Logging is still experimental in the spec. Metrics API is feature freeze and the protocol is stable, so it's more on language SDKs to stabilize their implementations. This is a focus for several of them right now.

The ADA lawsuit settlement involving an accessibility overlay
One thing modern languages don't do is compiling to multiple targets intended to work together.

For example, you could have a single function include frontend, backend and database logic. The source code would be compiled into three pieces of software: a web page, a web service and a database plugin.
So 77 years ago it was this low... Yet the whole article is coming up with a million justifications for how we 'caused' an outlier event that's happened before.

I liked Ballerina at first, it brings numerous goodies that were previously available only in “enterprise” middleware to a simple programming language, with sane defaults.

For example, for network calls it has seamlessly configurable retries, timeouts, circuit breakers. It allows easy mappings from one to another message format, convenient payload standard manipulations, different endpoint configuration at the source code level, easy parallelization and many more features.

All of that comes handy when developing classic middleware services, and the code is cleaner and conciser that equivalent functionality written in Java, Go, Clojure, Node …

GUI editor for source code and easy switch from graphical to code view is also nice.

But, the language itself sucks. It's cumbersome, ugly, and unnecessary. All the Ballerina functionality should be in a Java (or JavaScript) library that would allow writing concise code in a language of choice. I wish someone, preferably WSO2, release such a library. Ballerina is already implemented in Java, so it would be possible to release it as a separate Java library.

The only reason Ballerina exists is to lock customers to WSO2 ecosystem.

Isn't it a bit like getting to correct answer by incorrect reasoning? I was thinking that knowledge of how space curves in presence of high energies/masses and time/length dilation concepts are necessary to come to the conclusion that light will be slowed down beyond its speed in certain circumstances?

Maybe a bit similar to e.g. Gordiano Bruno's claim that stars are similar to our sun, and there are planets around them, not on the basis of observations and data analysis but b/c of some relatively unrelated to astronomy philosophical reasoning.

Look at the real word companies.

It's not always the company with the best technology that wins. There are lots of different factors that influence that.
Not an «apple fanboy». You should justify that TDP is the measure we are looking for, instead of just the available measure. TDP is a maximum, and an average one for that matter.

Those measures should use something like `powerstat` results standardizing other conditions - in fact, they should use benchmarking (just like the numerator of the numbers you report does, but not the denominator). This system here has a TDP of 6W, but uses 3.3W during light use, and peaks around 7.5W.

Sure, there could be a literal interpretation of "Performance/Power" which somehow could link speed and TDP (benchmarking at the same stated TDP), but (°) it would be imprecise as TDP is an estimate (so consumption should be benchmarked) and (°) it would not represent some more useful scenarios like "which system allows squeezing more working time out of a battery" (which is not represented by considering maximums - especially given technologies like big.LITTLE).
The point of fairness is not to give participation trophies to a company because the others had better tools. If a product is worse, then it is worse. Warm feelings because Intel does not have access to the best technology is not going to make any laptop run cooler.

I can understand the “they’re an underdog, so they deserve some money even if their products are not the absolute best”, but casting Intel as the poor underdog being steamrolled by their competition because they cannot get the latest and greatest is strange, to say the least.

Well that's probably true for what I'll call Wal-Mart libertarians (similar to Wal-Mart wolverines in college football - some will appreciate that), but many people who have actually studied libertarianism would have argued for quite a number of things, ranging from carbon markets to increased government action.

For example, many libertarian flavors hold that the environment is a common good. You can't pollute the river upstream from me because that affects my water and deprives me of property and resources - you'd have to compensate for that. Other libertarians simply believe that markets solve problems better than governments do (hard not to argue with that right now) and that a carbon market that could actually price the damage we do to the environment would be good and also in-line with very principled arguments.

I'd also argue that really libertarians haven't had much of a way of influence in American politics and this is strictly the failure of the USG (Republicans and Democrats) to take action. Also, the vast majority of people can't be bothered to take personal action either - like spending more money to buy local produce or traveling by plane less. Let's not scapegoat a tiny margin of people when we're all very, very wasteful.
I'd be quite surprised if Apple wasn't working on it but note that they're also using that space for FaceID which involves a complex sensor array in addition to the camera and that's critical to the device's security, which isn't something I'd rush on either.
Huh, no, the hardest one was opening the first Google Pixel without damaging the screen. I did break mine by prying too carelessly.

Ha! I have a kind of similar [0] story with Substack.

I couldn't get to work there (I really wanted to) so created a "read fiction on your email" side-project[1], which evolved to a more ambitious "substack for fiction" project: https://www.confabulistas.com.br (for Brazilian market, so in portuguese).

[0] "Kind of" because I couldn't even apply. Very early on I exchanged a few emails with the founder and they wouldn't hire remote. Then months later a recruiter reached out, but they wouldn't hire remote still. Then they started to hire remote, so I sent an email to the recruiter to apply, but they only hire remote in the US. So I wasn't exactly "rejected", but prevented from applying.

I understand that the law requires you to broadcast unencrypted communications - but what happens if you don't and use it for long-distance SSH or something?

Who would respond? I'm genuinely curious - I recall a long time ago hearing a story about FCC vans with antennas driving around a neighbourhood trying to triangulate the signal and find the source but that was a much stronger "pirate" radio station.
I have used genetic algorithms to search for non-transitive die triplets among the standard set of platonic dice, and exhaustively searched d6 and d8 numberings. If one insists that the advantage of A over B be the same as the advantage of B over C and C over A, then 61% is the best (farthest from 50%) that can be achieved for d6 and d8, and the best that I have been able to achieve for any larger dice.
I'd argue that that is not really an "explanation", because you cannot meaningfully generalize it. Yes, there is a lift because there is upward force on the wing, because there is a downward force on the air... But, how do you use it in another context? That feels more like a sequence of tautologies, than an explanation.

> the routines externalize executive functions, helping people who'd really love to write, except their own brain isn't cooperating.

I've observed that an externalized executive function is helpful for nearly everyone, not just those compensating for a dysfunction, BUT: routines, like extrinsic motivation, are vulnerable to situational disruption. Choose the external trigger for the routine with care, and be prepared to defend your routines from competing triggers (particularly social ones).

The phone rings, or you receive a text message, or there is a knock at the door. Either you block these disruptions, or you may need an external trigger to resume the routine (which is harder to establish because disruptions are typically infrequent and irregular). Repurposing an existing trigger (like a pomodoro timer, if you use one) can help.

That I’m aware of, yes.
When my phone rings I want to know, with a high degree of confidence, who is calling me.

The only way I can think to do this well is by giving everyone a different phone number, like many of us do with email addresses. Implementing this would require a way to create and vend phone numbers quickly, similar to creating a password with a password manager. There would need to be a way to associate each number with who I gave it to. When my phone rang that identity would need to be surfaced in some way. I would need a way to make outbound calls using these numbers.

I'd happily pay $100+/month for <some number of> phone numbers (50-100?) plus $x/month for each number above that. If the service was metered by call minute there would need to be a generous number included in the monthly flat rate and excess minutes should be inexpensive.

I imagine the user experience would be similar to what Sidecar/Flyp/Cloud SIM deliver.

Misconceptions about selling industrial technology companies
While I always thought placebo (and nocebo) is quite amazing, I've had that tempered from some reading of it perhaps not being a large effect beyond a regression to the mean. For example, here's one paper [0], with a quote from the abstract "Analysis of the trial outcomes demonstrated that the reduction observed in the placebo group was of the same magnitude as predicted by regression to the mean."

Or from [1] in their summary: "In clinical practice, the phenomenon [regression to the mean] can lead to misinterpretation of results of tests, new treatments, and the placebo effect"

This has been discussed in some popular sources as well, like the fun book The Math of Life and Death by Kit Yates.

Edit: see also this helpful explanation elsewhere in the comments [2]. The thread there highlights this paper [3] with the key conclusion of "There was no evidence that placebo interventions in general have clinically important effects. A possible moderate effect on subjective continuous outcomes, especially pain, could not be clearly distinguished from bias."

The point of Moneyball is that the market did not correct for it for so long, it takes a catalyst and might happen significantly later than when the first people recognize the issue.

I do not want to hijack this thread or promote myself, but maybe you could suggest something.

I realized I was working up to 50% on open source projects, and I wanted to accept sponsoring, but I moved away from github (which is surely a terrible idea for an open source guy, but I had my "stallman moment").

I do work mostly on gitlab and my own gitea instance.

What I did is setup stripe, with donate button on my blog but it is not very friendly and there is no social effect.

Do you know an alternative to github sponsor that allow source to be scattered around?
Who cares? For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.
A 747-8's MTOW is about a million pounds. Ten-ish 747s for a Starship, as a roughly worst case estimate. Only so much carbon you can stuff into a ton of fuel.

A single-digit percentage global increase in aviation emissions.

(I'm also very skeptical of that level of Starship launches. By the time you're getting anywhere near that, you're likely to have captured some comets and are processing fuel for interplanetary missions in an orbital refinery. Net zero emissions except for getting the people and Earth-only parts up to LEO.)
Lift is defined to be perpendicular to relative wind (and drag parallel to it). What you cite is the simplification that works eg in unaccelerated straight and level flight.

> This is expensive and wasteful.

Recoverable disk faults of course are handled at the storage layer, so we're talking here about unrecoverable faults. My risk model prefers replacing any disk that is encountering unrecoverable errors, to avoid the disk causing additional problems as it degrades (no matter how good your error detection is, it is preferable not to lean on it more often than necessary).

To ensure only the affected data is concerned, it is possible to relocate only that disk's data to a new replica, to minimise the burden.

I'll concede that a better model might permit a replica some number of unrecoverable errors (few, but more than one in some time interval) before a total replacement is performed, but in this case there are still repair mechanisms to bring the replica up-to-date, and simply performing normal recovery for consensus operations whose state it cannot recover before it participates in further decisions is sufficient for ensuring correctness.

> could potentially lead to cascading failure

Trying to correct faults on broadly failing disks can lead to cascading failure, as the cluster becomes preoccupied with correcting faults that cannot be resolved, and user queries become unserviceable. Bootstrapping a new replica is also a very modest CPU burden.

> Worse, what if all nodes have a single disk sector error in different places on disk?

This isn't a concern in practice from experience, and theoretically the risk is also minimal. Unrecoverable disk errors occur at a rate of fewer than one per many petabytes. This provides plenty of time to replace a replica - and if this isn't sufficient, you can increase your replication factor until you can survive the requisite number of coincident faults.

> Could you explain how the paper addresses this particular kind of fault?

I'm genuinely curious to hear your answer here if you have a moment. I can imagine some mechanisms to help recover from a single fault like this in a distributed fashion, but would love to understand what I might be missing from the paper.
Nuclear power sources are still mighty expensive too. Solar is hard past Mars, and near impossible past Jupiter, AFAIK.
