> I am talking about a dedicated asphalt path that runs parallel to a road with parking and/or a curb or barrier between traffic and the bike path. Next to this path is a sidewalk for pedestrians, separated by grass. In some places the pedestrian and bicycle traffic merge. They are always separated from traffic. Sometimes they take routes that do not follow roads, such as through parks.

Yeah, I assumed both (separate bike road and just painted bike lane) and I've seen both.. And really even a car during rush hour, granted in a bit more rural area and the bike road wasn't _that_ much used, but still...

> The only motorized vehicles I have ever seen on these bicycle paths are e-bikes. I have not seen full electric motorcycles (with plates, like a Zero) or any ICE vehicle, even a moped, on these paths.

Yeah, but as, at least where I live (in a European country) they're limited to 25 km/h it's not a issue. As said, pedelecs, which can go faster, are a thing but need a plate, more safety equipment and insurance, and I see no reason why people then would more (or less) frequently use them illegally like existing motorized vehicles.

You build a second layer.

All the hype benefits of pretending to use blockchain, without ever actually using it.
Do they not have bundles where you live? I just don't understand why you're so offended by the concept. The deal I posted is at MSRP, if the things bundled with the console are worth 0 to you then that's on you I'm afraid.
I'm not sure why there's this assumption that this is some right-wing anti-woke initiative.

Here’s one of the HN submissions about this initiative: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29157445

The title of the article is - but interestingly not visible in the article itself but rather when you bookmark - “Niall Ferguson: America’s Woke Universities Need to be Replaced”.
You definitely can, we use cycle accurate simulators to model logic. These models can be tied in to emulators to give them cycle accurate timing information.

In terms of expressiveness, digital logic can't "do" anything that software can not (including drive real electrical / analog IOs provided the software and the digital logic have interfaces for). Whether you implement the pdp11 in software or logic, either way you still have to create it to take into account all the timing details of the original hardware.

It's just some operations can be done much faster in hardware, but I doubt any part of the pdp11 can't easily be emulated in software on modern CPUs with a lot of timing margin to achieve real-time cycle accuracy. I could be wrong because pdp11 I don't know much about, but for an early simple RISC pipeline of similar performance it is certainly possible.

I assume this is just a solution that works and is supported and they've been using for a long time. It would
I think ownership is about control. It can be direct, like owning a baseball card, or indirect, a legal contract with a company like Amazon to maintain servers. NFTs fail on giving any control except on the blockchain. So the actual object for which we are trying to establish "ownership" can disappear against your wishes. It is not like owning a baseball card, more like owning a receipt of purchase.
I've actually warmed up a bit to a bit of repetition in multiple repositories. There's overhead to packaging which is just not really worth it for fifty lines of code.
Ive would've left Apple way earlier, if someone hadn't convinced him to stay. iirc he moved to London a couple of years ago and everyone was curious if he was still interested in Apple. I'm sure they lured him to stay with the new Apple HQ.

To say that it was Steve Jobs keeping him from having too much unrestricted impact on the product is not a convincing argument. Sure, he took over software design as well but skeumorphism, gradients and huge shadows were often heavily criticized before it was cool to hate on a minimalistic flat design.
They tried to give back Gaza and got extremely burned for that. Should they have listened to Egypt how to deal with the people in Gaza? I don't think so.

Right. Good luck having a conversation as the channel grows. There's been several times where I've joined a channel, asked a question, and my question is gone from the screen before anyone is able to answer. Slack/Discord are way better than Telegram for support.
Utility grade solar has much better economics than residential. That is what will get built at scale and is a much fairer comparison.
How did you come up with $1 as the market clearing price? At what monthly price point would you decide to dissolve your marriage?

I don't think perpetual subscription pricing is a match-making model folks are interested in--as evidenced by the models that exist today in the market.

I think that the reason bounty-based isn't widespread is that it's too easy to defraud--similar to a subscription house-cleaning service losing customers who go "off-platform".
Horrible flashbacks. Pure war of attrition. I remember at one point replicating the work of a cheat author in a game I was responsible for and pushing out a bait 'patch' for the hack to confirm they were using the methods I thought they were.

Unfortunately I had far less time to work on these issues than those creating the hacks.
A nice and welcome surprise with a logo that looks organic. I've been designing a logo and although I eventually settled on something more plain and 2D, I experimented and thought about how logos will adapt to work well 3D in the coming years.
Solar is cheap. Wind is cheap. They're cheap like cheaper than continuing to run existing coal plants, even without subsidies. And the costs are dropping rapidly, especially for solar. Meanwhile, nuclear is expensive. Like $6B to $8B per GW capacity.

If we throw a big pile of money at the problem, we get more bang for our buck from renewables. And, since wind and solar are on cost learning curves such that the more we build the cheaper it gets, the money we throw at wine and solar gets multiplied in the future by private industry.

Wind construction is fast. Solar construction is incredibly fast. Nuclear construction takes 8-15 years.

Renewables also require batteries and transmission. Batteries are getting cheap too, having dropped 89% in price since 2010. Transmission is a bit more politically tricky, but I think it's doable.

We might be able to get the US grid to 40% renewables by 2030. I doubt we'll have more than 5 GW of additional nuclear capacity in the US by 2030. The revolution will be well underway before nuclear can get its boots on.
I'm just not sure it will solve the problem in the fact of forward compatibility.
Any proof to propose?
Yeah, I think I'd recommend https://github.com/Gabriel439/post-rfc/blob/main/sotu.md over this, since it also says something about maturity/usability of each category.
Oh yeah I can totally relate. If you want to dive deeper, follow Twitter accounts like @wrathofgnon or @createstreets.

Just be prepared to leave the cozy liberal bubble of software… the scene is… more diverse. There seems to be a correlation between modernist architecture and liberalism, and vice versa, which to me is so baffling since it is the same people who advocate for modernist buildings who then enjoy their vacations in Venice.

On the other hand, advocates of more traditional architecture are correlated (in my observation) with also traditional (non-democratic) power structures and family/gender values, and in parts support alt right topics such as anti-vax/Covid denial up to blatant racism.

I had not expected this.

What‘s missing, and the article hints at it at the end, is a middle ground: progressive, but based on emotions and beauty. Embedded into local vernacular (which clings to solving problems with local weather patterns and sourcing of local material) rather than international style, and embedded into its surroundings rather than being antithetical. Using low-carbon materials such as wood, stone, straw, or mud, which, when used correctly, show as good (or better) properties regarding air quality and temperature control than high-tech materials based on oil, and air conditioning or hesting systems that require constant use of a power source. And, as importantly, going back to a language that creates cities we actually enjoy, using a human scale, walkable, complex, and beautiful.
It's also held back by MS exclusivity policies and shit cloud gaming. I'd love to buy it and play it, but it's not on GeForce Now or Stadia, where i play heavy games. I saw it was supposed to be on XCloud whatever the name today is for their Xbox as a service service, signed up for it, and not only is it not there, the whole service and everything around it is a steaming pile of garbage. The UX is terrible, latencies atrocious, etc. Just getting to the correct page listing the games is a fight, since half the links result in 404s ( I don't know if it's just the multiple rebrands or the fact that I'm physically in France but use English as main browser language, but neither should be that problematic for a company the size of Microsoft).

Such a game ( heavy resource consumption, lots of data to continuously update) is perfect for cloud gaming.
I'd say, yes. The US is just consuming talent from the entire world and it works because tech jobs in the US have really competitive salaries. But this talent is missing elsewhere, so I don't think it's sustainable in the long run.
I think most of the fiat money spent on crypto goes to miners, who then turn around and pay the electricity bill with it.
So, two things.

First? I think this is an ad. Newspapers are paid for placement articles like this all of the time. Now, how much oversight is placed upon such ads-articles, depends upon the publication.

The Star is well respected, so I suspect there's some strong oversight on opt-ads by them. EG "Please write about us", more than "Here's an article we've written for you." However, I'd be surprised if some cash didn't change hands.

Second? This doesn't mean the premise is wrong. Part of the problem is how vast Canada is. Local production in Canada, crossing 4+ timezones and 10000km, is going to result in local shortages of products, and thus, local price spikes in produces.

For example, if you have a local butter shortage one year, shipping from 5k away will raise the price.

Again, my above comments aren't meant to debunk this article, just provide some additional data.

Oh, also.. pricing is indeed different in the UK and Canada. I visited... 5? years ago, during a particularly rain free, heat wave summer. Was nice, btw. :) But during my visit I did see those massive pricing differences in some things.

Of course, UK pricing for wood and fuel was outrageous for me (just things I noticed, and these are things plentiful in Canada).

But you're right about market controls in Canada, which are designed to ensure supply, and keep farmers in a profitable state. The US, for example, does this in a different manner, for example, they don't limit production, they buy excess.

On the dairy side for example, they buy excess milk and make "government cheese", which can be stored longer than milk (years), and is often given to the poor.
Good list. I'd add one more:

- Hire someone above salary bands allowed by HR for full time employees (the salary bands are quite optimistic/unrealistic and are way too low for senior talent). That's probably most common cause in Europe.
No, the equivalent Clouflare service is Spectrum, which is tellingly expensive at $1/GB (!) than AWS Ubiquity / Global Accelerator.

Cloudflare Argo is "more like" AWS Edge-optimized API Gateway.
Tens of tons of rock moving at 40+ km/hr takes a lot of stopping. Plus the ditch may not last long because of ground movement, and in winter it would probably fill up with snow and ice.

Medici famously used Galileo Galilei to teach their children.

And countless other powerful men made sure their kins are taught by the brightest minds.

I think at the very top this works out.

OP may be right in his conclusions but they apply to upper middle class, not to the richest and the most powerful.
That's the word some psychologist coined. It's pretty absurd to me to take such a common part of the human experience and use a neologism for it, when it's something that has been experienced for thousands of years the world over, and has received common words - love at first sight, infatuation, lust, depending on exact details.
>I'd note that it's a bit of a jack-of-all-trades

And that's why developers and companies like it. It is a good, easy to use, well supported, well documented, sane jack-of-all-trades.
In code, we have some parts as prototypes (fast, hacky, disposable) and some parts done properly.

With employees, it's similar too. At some companies, the policy is FT employees don't leave. Onboarding, trust, training, team building is all expensive.

But sometimes you need people in fast to do a job. And some people aren't fond of the don't leave lifestyle. So there's a niche for contractors. Some even get "refactored" into FT employees.

There can be a circular dependency too. There's no budget for a product that may not succeed, but the product will not succeed without people working on it. Contractors are usually the quickest fix for that.

Sure, that too. Architects don't give a shit about interior spaces. They have interns do the plans. What they are lauded for is the exterior, the big hall and the sky terrace.

To be fair the working space is being experimented upon. The open spaces are fairly new, and there are plenty of workplaces also where people don't have attributed desks, they just walk around the building and sit wherever they want. Whether any of it works, I don't know...
With the baseball card you own a particular print of an image. Doesn't grant you any rights over the original image, there are many other copies of it, the image can be reproduced at will by anyone, etc. It's not that different. The card might be signed by the athlete, in wich case it gains value, but that signature might be a forgery, etc. Collectible NFTs is like owning just the autograph bit.

Popup modal redirects to the home page. Wtf can these guys possible give advice about when they can't accomplish HTML and javascript?
I could not agree more. Chat is great for coordination and hand-holding when you can spare the cycles for supporting someone directly, but it is a mess for retaining knowledge or documenting past issues/resolutions.

Also, if you’re on a significant timezone offset, you will seldom be able to chat directly anyway. To assume otherwise is somewhat naïve, really.

Most people don’t know GitHub now has Discussions, which is enough of a usable forum to fill in that gap without turning Issues into a pastiche of random arguments, and I hope other dev platforms follow suit to spare me the trouble of spending hours sifting through random Slack/Discord channels asking for very specific things I could just search for.
There is very little information. Please add more details & specs.
I have 20 years experience using Linux (user and administrator). Couple of years ago I tried doing roughly the same using Pi and old cheap Xerox laser printer (required some additional CUPS tinkering). It was very unstable, both network-wise and printing-wise, especially when someone was trying to print without me nearby.

New printer with AirPrint was way better than this. So while this 'hack' reviving old equipment might be useful for some people, don't expect it to do miracles in every case.
People say that the Melbourne city loop was the world's first computerized train line. If that's true, this hardware and software had some serious heritage value. It's a pity that Museums Victoria didn't try harder to preserve it when these replacements were made.

Remote work. Hundreds of millions of well-off middle class people gained 2 hours of extra time and energy per day from not having to commute.

Thats equivalent to a population boom.
Except, in many cases the value isn't derived from simply owning something when it is still publicly accessible and can be copied and reupload with many people claiming original ownership. Imagine Hollywood movies in the NFT space where anyone can access them for free and share then for Profit. , or the platform where they are hosted might shutdown. And while you might in some legal sense still have rights to something you'd no longer have access to something the courts haven't really got the involved yet so there is very little case law. It would be like going to judge and saying you own something, and someone else says but they share it for free on the Internet. It would be like movie studios bootlegging their own content

Incompetence on the part of a finance company is not the fault of the government. They pay the government to do what the finance company wants. Nice try, no sale.
One piece of information seems important, given the recent articles that showed that infected vaccinated and infected non-vaccinated show a similar viral load (contrarily to some suppositions):

> researchers concluded that ... even if vaccinated and unvaccinated people have the same viral load, it may not necessarily mean they are just as likely to spread the virus. One reason for this may be that vaccinated people carry less infectious virus particles [similar number of virions, but part of them less infectuous] ... Although it’s widely assumed that virus particles carried by the vaccinated and unvaccinated are the same, basic principles of immunology actually predict otherwise, [Ross] Kedl [immunology professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine] told me. Virus particles expelled by a vaccinated person are thought to be coated in antibodies some of which are produced in the nose and mouth and are considered part of “mucosal” immunity - so “we can expect less of a downstream transmission” he said.

«Virus particles expelled by a vaccinated person are thought to be coated in antibodies»: very interesting, surely new to some.
These two people are respectively 22 and 28 years old. They have spent their time in cyber-crime environments since their teenage years.

Agree. Always felt the best content comes from people who aren't interested in profiting off it, aside from reputationally.

Blogspam authors: If you block ads we won't be able to afford to make content.

Me: Good, I'd rather your "content" not exist.
But what are the costs and scalability?

EC2s in many regions + Global Accelerator is a completely different pricing model to pay as you go serverless (and, depending on your use case and usage patterns, more or less expensive), and scaling is entirely up to you. It's cool to optimise for latency, but it would have been nice to have resulting costs and downsides (scaling).

> I end up having to take the sim out of my laptop and put it in my PinePhone

Just in case you are not aware, you can receive verification SMS on your laptop as well! On Windows 10 there is a built-in app simply called "Messaging" which shows you all the SMS received on that number. I'm sure something different exists for other OSes.

This is what I do when asked for a verification number and there is absolutely no way around it, I just put the phone number of my laptop's SIM card, that way I don't have to worry too much about spam too because I will never use that number in a real phone.
We already do this with a bunch of criteria/ rules for food to be sold to humans and animals.

Lobbying and advertisers have just made us think that drinking a cup of sugar is an acceptable option.
Why in the hell would you believe climate experts?

The entire argument is poorly done forecasting for a system we don’t understand. The claims are unfalsifiable. It has all of the hallmarks of a scientific fad. When once again the modeling is inaccurate and the claims about temperature change impacts aren’t realized, this will be used as _more proof_.
The software package they were using was an Ericsson product, called "JZA 715", for PDP-11s. Did Ericsson ever give them the source code? Possibly not.

Does Ericsson still have the source code for a PDP-11 software package they sold in the 1970s? Maybe they do, maybe they don't.

Did they ever even ask Ericsson for the source? Possibly, they may have thought that modifying PDP-11 software was too hard–people with skills in doing it are hard to find these days, it is unlikely to be written in C, probably either assembly or some obscure language few have heard of–so even if Ericsson still had the source and was happy to hand it over (free of charge or for a reasonable fee), they might not have thought it worth their while to acquire it, and hence never have asked Ericsson for it.

EDIT: Actually, turns out JZA715 is mostly written in Pascal (so not that obscure a language after all) with some modules in PDP-11 assembly – see page 18 of http://srsv.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/S-38-1-Jan.pdf – the software ran under RSX-11M
> to do it day in and day out gets tiring

Can confirm this: I'm doing a 14 km commute and yes, for the first few weeks it's really tiring. Wanted to go to sleep as soon as I got home every afternoon. However, after say 2 or 3 months, your metabolism sort of adapts to it and you do it "naturally", without thinking too much about it. The idea of taking the bus again makes me anxious, though.
Could someone please help me understand what a "dataframe" is? I see this term thrown around occasionally, but failed to find a definition/explanation for someone who doesn't actually already know what it is :(
> Yes, if some people "arbitrarily" choose to boycott company A for some reason that you think is somehow "invalid" if they don't also boycott companies B, C, and D that you think it should also apply to, they will of course let the company know that "We're boycotting you because of this principled reason!"

But this claim will clearly be false, and so they will not be credible.

> No, read it again: Arbitrarily. That's enough. Because everyone's "arbitrary" is different, the sum of them all will be indistinguishable from random.

Call it capricious rather than arbitrary if you think that's important; the point is that people's decision to boycott company A and not company B might be not based on the issue that they claim the boycott is about, but also not random.

> Absolutely nobody has been asking you for "intense precision" in numerical terms. We're asking for a qualitative motivation for the particular numbers you're making up

The post that started this whole chain was, in full: "So, completely unconcerned, or just less concerned? Which?". That's not a request to explain my motivation, it is a request to give (IMO intense) precision.
