> 5 miles is a very easy bike commute

Having done a similar distance in the cycling capital of the world for about a year I wouldn't exactly call it "easy". I was happy to exchange it for a bus + tram combination even though it added ~15 minutes. Though I'll admit it's nice to be able to commute that distance by bike once or twice a week; but to do it day in and day out gets tiring.
China shuts down lots of coal plants all the time; it's just that they're also building them. In 02020 they built more than they shut down. I'll be surprised if that's the case in 02021.
Thanks for all this great feedback! I'd love to chat and will reach out tomorrow! I know of Guilded but haven't used it, will check it out.
So for example you'd make "bots"/ autohotkey scripts (simplifying) to optimize your time while trying to stay within somesort of ethical limit?
Yeah, starts closer to 12MB for a trimmed console app in .NET 6. It works really well (I've been distributing one for a few months now).
In Europe, the speed at which an ebike motor may assist one is limited to 25 km/h (~ 15.5 mph):

> pedal cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an auxiliary electric motor having
> a maximum continuous rated power of less than or equal to 250 W, where the output of the motor
> is cut off when the cyclist stops pedalling and is otherwise progressively reduced and finally
> cut off before the vehicle speed reaches 25 km/h;

That's the whole point of patents: to be used as a recipe book.
A C++ project I inherited had some binaries checked in for rarely-updated utilities - no sense in forcing everyone to build everything from scratch every time, right? Unfortunately, this wasn't done by CI, but by hand - so while those binaries could be built on the original maintainer's machine, some stale & missing source files (which said maintainer forgot to `p4 add`, `p4 reconcile`, or perhaps submit?) meant the only buildable copy of source was on their workstation, without anybody noticing.

...which was then presumably lost/reformatted some time after said dev left (quit? laid off? fired?)

Unable to build said source code, a subsequent developer added a python script to postprocess the output of said binary for their own needs. A hack, but it worked.

Then I got my hands on it. Well, I needed data that was discarded by the binary, so hacking on the python script was a non-starter. Instead, I reverse engineered what the binary was doing by stubbing out enough of the source code to get it building - then compared hex dumps of the outputs and tweaked said source code until my modified source code gave the same output as the checked-in binaries. Then I got rid of the python script by moving the logic into the binary's source code, where it really belonged. Then I made my own changes.

Didn't bother setting up CI though. Was porting a project in a heavily compressed (<1 month!) timeframe, and nobody else needed to touch said binary, and the codebase wasn't going to be used for any future projects (it was pretty terrible, and much time had been spent creating a much better codebase for future projects.) I at least made sure I checked everything in, though!

I don’t know about you but I rather use apt install xyz on Windows than using home brew on Mac.
Growing money from money is one of those old world business models, I think that a new paradigm where investing in people makes more sense than stocks and bonds.

Would like to see a micro finance/venture capital sector that focuses on cottage industries.
I think the Hot Reload stuff is still in its infancy.

From what I read, it doesn't yet support stuff like async/await, LINQ, lambdas (and few other things). And those are used a lot in modern .NET apps.

Still a great improvement in the right direction.
Because it had to be cycle accurate to work with the existing hardware, something you can't guarantee in software.
> Do you really think people in the 1200's could fathom a phone or the internet or access all information that ever has been on a device that fits on your phone?

Yes? People in the 1200s could fathom gods and magic, why not phones? What kind of dullards do you think people were back then?

The futures people imagine are consistently crazier than what actually happens. People thought that by year 2000 we'd have Mars colonies, flying cars and sentient computers. Sure, they didn't really see the Internet coming, and sure, the Internet is nice, but it's not exactly up to par, is it?
Imagine that you have pair of socks. You sent one sock to Alice and the second sock to Bob. When Alice opened her package, she sees the left sock, so she immediately knows that Bob received the right sock. This is the FTL communication.

Alice can forcefully change her sock from left sock to right sock and back, e.g. by putting sock to the corresponding foots, but Bob will never know that.

If the 2008 crisis taught us anything, it is that hedge funds can get it arbitrarily wrong and still profit tremendously overall.
Placebo is such an interesting phenomenon. I had a certain physical pain difficult to describe that I could’ve sworn to have felt, but after addressing my perspective I’ve no longer had any such symptoms. Not sure if related, but I still don’t understand it.
I wish that I knew about this earlier. I'm a Linux user but I love C#. I suppose that VS Code is the canonical IDE for C# today?
People have to understand that different development stage will have different priorities. In developed world, efficiency should not be the first priority, fair is the first priority.

> a major accidents with their Oroville Dam and evacuated of 188,000 people living downstream. This can be compared to the 154,000 evacuated from Fukushima

You're being disingenuous here. The waters would have flowed to the sea and most people would have been back inweeks if not days. No one's going back to Fukushima's neighborhood in decades.
I recently ran XP in a VM inside Windows 10 and was amazed at how much faster everything ran, how quickly programs start, and how responsive they are. Feels like we lost something along the way...
So, what's the alternative here?

Either one of the big companies is controlling your account (and, crucially, securing it) or you have many accounts across many platforms.

I'm genuinely at a loss here for solutions that are decentralised yet... centralised...
I remember discussion on reddit where people literally called mom neglectful because she refused to have car.

The issue was that she and 4 years old walked 20minutes to preschool and back. That is it, 40 min total walking time was assumed to be beyond 4 years old capabilities.
Not to mention being accessible to people using wheelchairs.
Most newborns do not rely on commercial advertisements to learn how to satisfy their needs and desires.
Disassemblers have been around forever... recreating a working codebase that compiled to the same executable is definitely doable, however the fact that it runs a piece of infrastructure critical to the public makes the cost of being even one bit off unacceptable. This is the reason for going with emulation. Its a smaller change, and thus a smaller risk.
The law is there as mandate from the people. If it isn't working, or seriously inconviences a particular demographic, it can be changed. Note that cyclists have no problems with circles/roundabouts...
We have lots of evidence from paintings and photographs that it's not just survivorship bias, that things have gotten on average uglier.

There's definitely a bias at play here, whatever name you give to it. Maybe a bias toward familiarity, where the longer something has been around, the more people decide they like it.

I look forward to the day when I can build my perfect glass and stone paradise and finally escape the terror of older buildings and small spaces designed for people less than 5' tall.
>Once you bring in "possible", you have to consider whether a copy of "you" could spontaneously coalesce in front of your grandfather with a gun in your hand and shoot him, and then maybe dissipate right after, or not.

According to Everett of quantum mechanics, it is another you killing another of your grandfather so you won't dissappear from the current world.

According to the Copenhagen interpretation, there's a high chance you dissappear.
Patents usually take a few years to issue. In the US, for the first six months, the patent application is confidential
They're clones, not the original, and thus not likely to be exactly the same.
Theres also crowdsensing; you may also consider Proof of capacity (PoC).
Was it warren that said investing money on people is the best investment?

i can kinda see how coding bootcamps are exploiting this

in my case when i have to occasionally financially support my siblings so that they can have better employment opportunities, those seems to be more rewarding for me personally even if i never see that money again. i dont think id invest money on strangers unless i get a crazy roi like some bootcamps

Better for a building's inhabitants to be free to bring their own life and color, than for the building to try to impose one decade's view of life and color upon every generation for the next century.
That was my thesis all summer long, but bond yields have remained stubbornly low and the stock market just had a blowout October even as inflationary pressures picked up amidst the Evergrande crisis and the debt-ceiling crisis. I’ve given up thinking that there is anything that can bring down this market and will no longer fight the trend.

tl;dr: Wednesday
It’s easy. You have .NET Framework 4.8 which is followed by netcore 3.1 which is followed by .NET 5 and now 6. 4.8 supports netstandard 2, core and 5 additionally support netstandard 2.1. You can then use ASP.NET with 4.8 or ASP.NET Core with 3.1 onward. Entity Framework is only supported on 4.8 and Entity Framework Core up to 3.1 support netstandard 2 so .NET 4.8 and 3.1 onwards both. But the versions after 3.1 (obviously they went to 5 there) only support netstandard 2.1 so only dot net core 3.1 and onwards.

Perfectly clear and reasonable.
Given that breakthrough is significantly more expensive e-bike, owners being too rich was unlikely to be the real issue. If more expensive tool fixes social problem, the people were more likely to be offputted by poor.
Hackers make 2 much more likely for me. If I'm struggling to get off the ground, and getting demoralised, realising that I literally have no chance against the others because they are hacking just makes me switch off completely.

I know there's a learning curve in any given game. I know I have a chance to be at least on the low end of mediocre with a bit of practice. Unless the game is infested with hackers in which case it makes no difference and I may as well give up now.
The law is that nobody goes above the speed limit as well, I hope you never do that since you seem to be an absolutist on this? Because from what I've seen, 95% of cars break the speed limit. I'd even argue it's a higher percentage than bicycles who blow through stop signs.

By the way, take a look at the PurpleAir map - you can get an idea of the size and spread of the outage by the number of offline air quality sensors. Works for power outages too!

Local zoning/regulations/politics also play a significant role in limiting types of housing. In general, development projects are going to play it safe to try to get a plan approved.

> The thing that excites me most about e-bikes is that they change the politics around cycling. Proponents of efforts to make roads safer for cyclists have always gotten pushback from people who think that cycling is a niche hobby of rich lycra-clad yuppies.

Is this even a thing outside of USA? Nobody thinks that where I live, and it's not a particularly bike-friendly country like Netherlands, just average EU country.
I am just sucking all my excess funds in MSCI or S&P 500 ETFs hoping that this way my money will not be eaten by the 6% inflation we have right now.

Unfortunately when you are not able to buy real estate this is the only option. Times like these are really hard for regular people/small investors. Why? Well investing In ETFs does have some inherent Risks associated with it (what if the market goes down and I need my money suddenly?). But it is this versus a certain loss of money, so I rather take that.

I am feeling really frustrated with these high stimulus times. Yes the markets go boom and all stocks are ridiculously high, but the inflation forces you to invest, which is adding more gas to the fire. If you are not financially inclined, or cannot take the risk of investing in stocks (which historically have been a very risk type of asset), you are SOL and you will lose money. You know who most certainly won’t lose money in the long run? The Big Wall Street guys and the 0.1%.

Tough times for the regular Joes out there.

But god bless our system, let’s pump up all the numbers, so the 0.1% can accumulate even more of the wealth.

>ERC-721 is the standard that dictates how one should create an NFT. Each ERC721 NFT must have a tokenURI field, that is an external link to a JSON file stored on an external server ... You can notice the image field, which is a link to an image.

Not just a link, a link to a link! And when that server goes down next year, all those JSON files will vanish.
Terra Carta :) Autocorrect, perhaps?
More like "specific enough" instead of "high enough". Use Apple all you want but don't lie to yourself by saying Windows isn't a better, more powerful, more stable operating system.

It just isn't as polished, and even that's debatable.
On a quiet flat road 5 miles is a pleasant cruise, through a hilly busy city even 1-2 miles can be a huge pain.
The President has a lot of power but it's not a problem and it works.

What should be mentioned, especially to foreign readers, is that this topic is part of the left-right divide in France.

It was De Gaulle (an army General) who came up with the current system while the preceding system, favoured by the left, was parliamentary.

The left favours a parliamentary system that they claim is "more democratic" while depicting the current one as "elective monarchy" that perpetuates the "myth of the strong leader" (Napoleon, De Gaulle). Supporters of the current system point out that it does have balances and limits and that it brought stability (the preceding parliamentary system used to be very unstable, a bit like in Italy nowadays).
> What? That creates a financial disincentive for long-term dating. Better is to pay a one time bounty when a good match is made

There are larger financial disincentives[1] for long-term dating, and yet people do it regardless.

The idea is actually quite good - if the relationship is not worth $1/m then it probably isn't a good relationship anyway.

[1] I'm assuming you meant a $1/m subscription.

Problem is moderators can straight up ban you from posting anymore comments in a sub, and most do if they delete one of your comments. Try to talk about politics in any political tangent subreddit long enough and you will eventually get the boot because no sane person lines up with 100% perfect match to a certain political viewpoint
You likely have more than 10 chats, in which case the panel does not appear. This is mentioned in the thread I linked above.

Copyleft has succeeded, it's just far behind non-copyleft software. I can run an entire system using only GPL-licensed components. It might not be pleasant, because most apps are MIT/BSD, but it'll work.

Then you must hate on-street parking and parking lots.

I think the speed and power limits of ebikes are actually pretty reasonable. A fit cyclist can go faster on the flats, and I don't just mean a pro, anybody young and healthy who cycles a few times a week should be able to manage it.

Bikes should have their own transport spaces, not sharing with cars. Cars should be limited access from many areas. And pedestrians should be as mindful of bikes as they are of cars.
Wow, a lot of people are upset about this. Curious what HN thinks of the argument that Layer 2 scaling + POS will solve / mitigate the environmental problems with ETH at the moment.

Interesting. This seems like it could be used as an entry point for a shopify competitor. In the past, shopify themes were pretty deeply linked to shopify itself. I could imagine vendors developing hydrogen compatibility layers for quickly porting your hydrogen storefront to a new backend.

This move was needed - shopify's themes were one of it's weakest links, in my experience - but if I had a competing service I'd be looking at this with dollar signs in my eyes.
I’m sorry you ran into that problem. I ran into the opposite problem, of thousands of fake accounts a day using VoIP phone numbers to create accounts. Almost all of them were fake/abusive when they were investigated manually. Blocking these numbers felt like the sensible thing to do, because it made the abusive account creators spend more time, money and energy creating their accounts. I’m sorry it impacted you.

My personal favorite ios bug that I found was in the middle of a finance exam. The ios calculator app gave completely different answers depending on whether or not you tilted the phone slightly during the calculation.

It wasn’t just a visual thing - the calculation itself was changed by the toggling briefly to scientific mode and back again.

I no longer fully trust calculators.
Where are the forums? StackOverflow, GitHub/GitLab issues are a good alternative?

Very rarely I just open up a question in Slack/Discord for some projects but I also get very rarely any answers, either I am lucky that someone else with the same issue there or it just stales forever or while I dig very deep and eventually find a solution.
That's in response to cold. He has also been tested for effects on immune response:

"It was shown that this individual was able to voluntarily activate the sympathetic nervous system through a self-developed method involving meditation, exposure to cold, and breathing techniques. This resulted in increased catecholamine and cortisol release and a remarkably mild innate immune response during experimental endotoxemia compared with more than 100 subjects who previously underwent experimental endotoxemia."

What kind of articles make assumptions about your preferred text editor? Or do you mean they assume you're on Linux in general?
What manufacturer? You can do it via USB and have a script disable mounting or mount on command if you'd like, but if you have a Pi it won't be any different if you use the same network. Still the RT68U I suggested is only $40 if you want to have a secondary network, and you probably have a router laying around that supports custom firmware.

I think if you have a Pi the best thing you can use it to prototype if you want dedicated hardware for what the pi is doing, but if you are buying it for the purpose of OP, its not a good use of resources, and anything a Pi can do an old laptop or desktop can do it better and prototype it with no cost and probably better software, but if power usage is an issue dedicated hardware should be considered.
It's yet another tool in the "destroy Israel" toolbox; prevent Zionists from speaking up or defending themselves. If someone says anything remotely positive about Israel (even if it's real) it's "Hasbara", some kind of black magic.
Already it's increasingly difficult to identify as pro Israel in American colleges, slowly but surely it's happening.
