I flew twice a week for years and it really just depends on the route (ie airports, day of week, and time of day) that you’re flying.

Popular business routes will always have full overhead bins, so you either check your luggage, bring a week-bag that you can fit under the seat, or get on early and get the overhead space.

Personally, I prefer to travel light so always wait until the last second to board. But that also depends on the cabin - if you’re at all above average height it’s absolute hell to fly in general, even worse when your limited leg room has a backpack.
That's been a long time situation.

Look at how much more you can buy in a TV set at a given price than you can buy in something called a "computer monitor"
It’s hard to say if the link rot will be a problem. Not to mention, many of these ownership transactions won’t be links. The point is being able to agree on something, not have access to the underlying. The latter is a somewhat orthogonal concern. No matter what Zuck does, it won’t be possible for people to deny who owned the hat, regardless of if the underlying bits of the hat have gone away. And of course, for the things that people actually care about, these bits will be preserved, or over time the ownership will be understood to relate to new, probably better bits.
I'm not sure I'd call 70%->50% "phasing out". I'd call it "reducing dependence." I see nothing wrong with this. It would still be one of the most heavily nuclearized countries. So that term is misleading.

I wouldn't call anything "phasing out" short of a plan to denuclearize.

France is still going to be the green model. Mixture of zero emitting sources. The energy problem is complex. As one example, a big reason for this change is that France heavily relies on others to get its uranium.
> To give an order of magnitude: Germany is producing 11 times more CO2 to produce the same amount of energy than France.

That sounds rather unbelievable. As per Statista, France produced 8.7 exajoules of energy in 2020; Germany produced 12.1 exajoules. Meanwhile France emitted 277 Mt of CO2 in 2020; Germany emitted 644 Mt in 2020. Unless I'm calculating something wrong, Germany's 53.2 Mt/EJ is worse than France's 31.8 Mt/EJ, but not by a factor of 11. More like by a factor of 1.7.

>> I don't understand that opening at all. We all want to get on so we get space in the overhead bins, don't we?

I think most are doing it for the overhead space, which leads to my misunderstanding. Why did they charge for checked bags. Its the more time-consuming option, who would pay for that.

they should be charging for overhead and offering checked bags for free. Pay for the time-saving
I switched to Rider a few years ago. I really like it and I find its Vim emulation a lot lot better than what you can get for Visual Studio. Its F# support is ok, but I'd say VSCode+Ionide is better. But Rider isn't bad for F# still, and it has other tools it brings.
Electric cars are rapidly approaching the point where they're actually cheaper than ICE cars, due to lower operating costs. As they scale up, they may well become cheaper up front, too.
Yeah, so - and, cards on the table, I’m one of the folks who isn’t happy with Pinterests’ presence in search results, but - I’m presuming there was a user story around some type of person whose life was going to be made better here. I’m curious Pinterests’ notion on who that person was and what the benefit was to them - “Bob is some kind of user, looking to do some kind of thing. By changing search results in this way, Bob is better able to do that thing, making Bob happier.”
It's intentional to limit these to $regular_speed - 5km/h, same as with mopeds. I assume it's so you are converted to a real vehicle (car) by virtue of being assaulted on the roads by those driving them?

I certainly don't agree with 35km/h on bike paths. The current 25km/h is plenty and given their popularity with older ages, already producing outsized numbers of injuries and deaths.

> Unless I misunderstand, I don't see the point: you can get this data with a RaspberryPi and an antenna available everywhere (and probably built in China).

I'm not sure about the relevant Chinese radio interception laws, but I think the difference between DIY receivers and Flightradar24 is that the website combines data from a great many listening stations across the world. You'd need one hell of an antenna to receive location data from a Chinese plane from all the way over in the EU or US, but these websites still allow us to see flight patterns above China.

> Military aircraft that shouldn't be seen should just disable data transmission.

Permanently disabling ADS-B on military aircraft sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Yes, I maintain several packages which are* compatible with either Python 2 or 3. Those packages have a defined entrypoint which begins with `#!/usr/bin/python`. For packages which are Windows-compatible, they end in .py.

If those two things don't cause the script to be executed by Python then frankly the user's system is broken and I'm not going to worry about it. (Depending on what you're writing, `#!/usr/bin/env python` may be a better option, so that you respect the PATH - including venv's.)

* Well, they were compatible, but I no longer test against Py2.
In the US (at least in NY), traffic tickets are considered income -especially in Manhattan. Some jurisdictions actually plan budgets on it. The same with civil forfeiture.
One of my pet peeves is that these articles never report the a priori distribution of labels that are being predicted. Guessing whether you're at sitting vs walking with 90% accuracy is not very useful if most people are usually sitting. Actually, the article here doesn't even report the accuracy: neither the stdev error for scalar predictions, or the precision/recall and number of classes predicted for ordinal data. Actual results would go a long way to making the article meaningful.

There's a growing number of these "computers can now predict..." articles, like "one email from you can tell your mood" or "your choice of snap filter reveals your age." Basically, in practice anything can predict anything, usually slightly better than random, so there's an infinite number of articles to write that sound shocking. If I had a bit of training data, I can easily write a script to predict everyone here's salary based on their comments using bag-of-words, and I bet I can do better than random guessing.

Interesting article, but one point:

> Sadly, the C++11 <random> library is not portable, but the excellent PCG Random library is, so I used the latter.

Yes it is. std::random_device will not give you a deterministic sequence (obviously!), but the standard PRNGs absolutely will. Check, for instance, std::mt19937, which specifies exactly what the 10,000th value has to be [1].

That's not to say that you shouldn't go with PCG. PCG is a fantastic PRNG. But claiming that the <random> PRNGs are not portable is just FUD.

The cost picture is complex. Using nuclear they can build the plants next to the industry centers, replacing existing coal plans. They don't need to build batteries to address the intermittency of renewables. In addition 150 power plants being built at the same time might gain some benefit of scale, and might attract other countries to follow suit.

We need to compare the cost to what other countries are doing to achieve similar goals. Countries like Germany is planning to create green hydrogen in order to replace the current natural gas plants, and we don't know the price tag for that. Europe is currently also seeing the consequences of relying on natural gas and energy trading, with record high energy costs for the end consumer, despite building a lot of solar and wind farms. The high demand for natural gas is also creating additional problems for industries that depend on that limited resource, like agriculture. With uranium there isn't many other industries that compete for that resource.
A starter template is included with a CLI. If you have node installed, run `npx create-hydrogen-app`
I guess they could do that, but what makes you think they actually will?
Read what the GP wrote. Either way, their usage of fossil fuels is going down. Could it have gone down more? Yes, but we don't live in that universe.
That's a neat idea, and something I'd never thought of before.

I'd imagine the customers here would be looking for a way to keep an eye on competitors? Ford would like daily overhead shots of GM's factories and parking lots, McDonalds would like to check on the length of average drive-through queue at competitors, etc? All in near-real time, without waiting for quarterly earnings.

On the other hand, weather might render this too unreliable for the needs of such customers - "how busy have the Bay Area Starbucks been since they've released their Pumpkin Spice Latte?" "Uhh, not sure boss, it's the 30th cloudy day in a row, we can't see anything".
That really works for species that you can afford to kill off wholesale. AFAIK that's the case for mosquitoes (at least for the species that bites humans), but I'm not sure about other pests (eg. bugs/birds).
Maybe the problem is that bike paths are too small? Cars are granted 12 feet per-lane, often with multiple lanes.
There are 20 year old used hybrid-electric cars, which work exactly the same way. Older Priuses are still around. I found several used 2002 Priuses (have to go to Japan to find earlier, I think). (Although Prius didn’t really start selling a lot until the 2004 refresh.) https://www.edmunds.com/inventory/srp.html?make=toyota&model...

People regular go hundreds of thousands of miles on their used Priuses.

Another project in this vein is the Tildeverse, a group of pubnix servers that provide web/gopher/gemini hosting, preinstalled utilities (e.g. an IRC client, development toolchains, common $EDITORs), and services (mail hosting, BBSes, etc).

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Confusing indeed.
I was long of that conviction too. But the default install optimizes for a different thing, compatibility. Or at least emphasizes is more than I would do.

For example I never use RSA keys. So these can go. Less cyphers => less attack surface.

But I do agree that I'm sure the defaults picked are sensible.

This takes an extremely high level of cognitive ability, which is a far, far better signal than a take-home test.

The software authors can’t change the default settings, since many users have config files where a setting isn’t specified, and these users would, when they upgrade, get an unasked-for change, which might break their workflow. The software authors can change the defaults in major version releases, but even that is frowned upon by those who would be affected by the change. Therefore, this usually does not happen until a real security issue is caused by the old state of things.

The downstream package maintainers for various operating systems or distributions have some more leeway in changing the defaults, but here, also, they have to bow to the impact which a change might have on real-world users. Indeed, since these package maintainers are closer to the actual affected end users, it has been known to happen that upstream authors have changed a default value to be more secure, but the real-world impact has been so large that the package maintainers have reverted this change in the packaged versions of the software, essentially making the software more insecure in the name of compatibility. So, package maintainers are more flexible, but are also more beholden to the wishes of users who might be adversely affected by any changes.

Sure. But then "some customer" ran a whole bunch of EDA RTL "benchmarks" on these CPUs. Hmmmm... who could it have been?

There's something highly amusing about this whole situation. Its clear to me that AMD sold Microsoft a whole bunch of Milan-X chips early. Then AMD rented those servers from Microsoft to run electronic design tools (such as RTL: register transfer language) simulations to design their next CPUs.
Great point I hadn't considered that before!

I'd guess it's for two primary reasons. 1: it takes workers to load and unload checked bags. Contrast to overhead where you are doing the work. 2: checked bags are pretty much unlimited. You can have several huge ones.

For some reason I was also under the impression that a checked bag was actually opened up and rummaged thru as well, hence the word "checked", but maybe I've just been misunderstanding?
That depends on how much you think a human life is worth, disappointingly.
only because we have brain dead laws on e bikes. why not 24.5 mph? I see actual electric motorcycles on our bike paths all the time, I have never seen them cause a real problem. People on normal bikes cause all the problems because they have so much invested in their current speed.

i'd personally like to see two policy changes (especially in a city like LA that's perfect year-round for biking):

1. convert curbside parking into dedicated and protected bike lanes (not everywhere, but extensively)

2. require bike parking (preferably covered and right next to entrances/foot traffic) and liability requirements anywhere that has a (car) parking lot

this would put biking on par with cars and would encourage businesses to reorganize around mixed traffic, rather than car only.
It's literally the same as Rust's prelude system and I don't see anyone complaining so much about this.

Yeah, over the course of my allegedly short career (I'm 29) I've reported dozens of bugs against GCC, Clang, MSVC, binutils, Qt, SDL, glibc, PortAudio, macOS and other foundational stuff... I'm not saying I automatically assume "toolchain bug", but my cutoff for seriously pondering "is it a bug in $underlying_stuff" is around 30 minutes of "I really can't see where in my code things were done wrong" and so far this heuristic has consistently held...
The article mentions Turkey as well, using Russian tech. When a NATO country chooses nuclear tech from the country that brought us Chernobyl, the US is definitely asleep at the wheel.

I don't think the defaults are bad. I think the defaults are generic. And I don't have a generic machine. Nobody has. Old SSH clients don't need access to my server. So I think it is a good idea to remove old cyphers.

Words in natural language dictionaries is more akin to functions in libraries. OTOH natural language syntax doesn't change nearly as fast.

But OP is right - we haven't really been doing programming all that long in the grand scheme of things, and there are still too many unsettled questions.

Also, in many cases, we came up with desirable concepts long ago, but using them wasn't feasible due to performance overhead until recently.

> Most bikers only use the sidewalk when the road infrastructure as-is isn’t safe enough for bikers.

You have to see how this is a completely selfish position right?

The road is dangerous for cyclists so cyclists make the sidewalk dangerous for pedestrians. Sure there's a difference in degree but that's not a justification.

> And I fully agree that there are a lot of bad bikers, but a bad biker is a nuisance to a driver while a bad driver is a potential fatality to a biker.

To me, the "bad cyclist" is generally creating havoc on both the sidewalk and the street, alternating between street, sidewalk, crosswalks, alleys, etc. as it's convenient. This is really what I'm referring to when I said "especially at closing time". Those people are creating a dangerous environment for even safe drivers who may either hit them or get in an accident avoiding them.

I don't often find the hobbyist biker doing things like that which are dangerous to themselves except treating stop signs like yields.

I'm not nearly as concerned about the hobbyist as I am about the guy who thinks driving his ebike home from the bar is a great way to get home without drinking and driving. And that is definitely happening, especially with electric scooters.
I'd assume so, even in shipping, NASA recently disguised the James Webb shipment to French Guiana as a commercial vessel and set it's arrival destination somewhere in europe.

The "launching point" is often the scary part. If I knew that every remark from a stranger was just a remark and I could say thanks and move on with my life I'd feel much better.

Instead it's a tightrope walk. You have to be appreciative but not too appreciative, you need to be disinterested but not too disinterested. Sometimes it doesn't matter and you lose anyway.

Appear too appreciative and you're hounded by someone (or worse, I've had friends that have been followed)... look too disinterested and you've earned their ire.

I will note that this is largely a problem of male strangers talking to women (it's not universal of course, I've personally witnessed these issues across all varieties of people).
To be fair, modern web standards and many orders of magnitude more complex than what existed a decade ago. The issue is less with the browsers and more with the rapidly growing set of web standards.
Right now our main point of difference is consolidation. We allow users to build and manage more of their workflow with just one platform vs duct-taping together 6 different SaaS tools like you would in Integromat. Our thesis is that it is easier to build, run and maintain more complex workflows when as much of its functionality as possible is managed natively in one place.
Every company has dysfunction. You can see it as a curse or an opportunity. To take advantage of the opportunity, go to management with a description of what's wrong and a proposal to fix it, including the role or title you need to get it done.

If you can't agree on a plan to fix it in a reasonable time frame, go elsewhere.
Too heavy to allow driving in the bike lane, IMHO. Needs to be a weight, speed, and footprint limit. But the number of wheels shouldn’t matter, regulation-wise.
From your Wikipedia link:

"A 2017 assessment put rising nuclear construction costs, low gas prices and improving renewable generation economics as the three main causes of the failure of the nuclear renaissance in the United States."

While Fukushima may have made the public image worse, I believe, although I'm certainly not an expert, that its primary problem for the nuclear industry is that it demonstrated that a certain failure mode having to do with backup generators for the cooling circuit needs to be taken seriously in the design.

I think this is one of the major sources of cost in nuclear plants. They need meticulous planning and execution to ensure safety.
