This is a real problem. IMO, the issue really is that ebikes are too good/too flexible. They are fast enough to get you to work quickly and more comfortably mix with city traffic. The flipside is that they're too fast to mix with pedestrian traffic. If there were some way of limiting speed on mixed use paths, e-bikes would be perfect.
PS5 is too attractive a target, anyone who cracks it will be etched in history forever.

The hackers will come up with a workaround, they always do. I eagerly await the 33c3 presentation.
Epithets? What epithets? We’re having a fairly civilised discussion here. I’m about his age, and believed many of the things that he believed and I’ve seen my attitudes soften somewhat over the last few years. If anything, it is you trying to diminish my experience with your high handed rhetoric.
Please don't ask people to run non-free software to participate in your open source community. Many open source / free software enthusiasts are reluctant to use them, or flat out boycott them. What's more, you are putting your worthy community somewhere out of your control if you do this.

Slack and Discord are not cool and do not make your project cool. They make your project unreachable, now and in the future (archives). You won't be able to trace the history of your project when you will want to do it.

What's more, Slack and Discord are hype now but will probably be old-fashioned in a few years and you don't know when they will disappear. Just pick something already old-fashioned today but that somehow does not die.
I like the logo. It's classy. Since this is for Prince Charles, I think they had to keep a certain level of classical design in mind.

It reminds me of some of the designs that came about during the William Morris era.
Are you assuming batteries as the only storage to get to 100% renewables? If so, please don't make that bad assumption. It will be cheaper to shave off the last 10% or so with hydrogen rather than batteries. Also, adding wind to the solar reduces storage requirements.
The sensible-python name carries connotations which are not there; this link could be any version of python whatsoever and differ from installation to installation. That version of python is not necessarily "sensible" compared to the others. Nor is writing in a reduced Python subset more sensible than using newer features; it's just different tradeoffs.

The Debian-style alternatives mechanism could work here. I had that in the back of my mind when I wrote the comment, but I wasn't sure whether or not it's already buggered in some way by the Python2/3 thing.

(Like if there are multiple Python2 packages somehow, using /etc/alternatives/python to have the semantics of which of the two is the preferred Python2.)

If the /etc/alternatives/python name is available, it could be used this way: the preferred python (for running code that isn't specific to any python version).

It works this way for some existing programs. For instance /etc/alternatives/yacc could be GNU Bison or Berkeley Yacc. Either implementation does not handle some inputs that the other does, and there is a POSIX yacc subset of the yacc language that should work with both. If you have a very plain yacc file that conforms to POSIX and stays away from corner cases in the spec, it should just work with the yacc command.
Yes but the exponential scaling doesn't really work to anyone's benefit. It just means that N people can each mentor an average of N people and so on and so forth. An active community means that the people who are working on the problems can all share results and bring people up to speed. I'm not convinced THIS scales well.

I can buy more people in physics working on more problems. There are a wealth of interesting problems in physics and more people all going in different directions would be great. But ten times as many people working on the LHC? A hundred times as many people working on string theory? I don't buy it.

To me, the ideal model of fully open, accessible research is the speedrunning community. I don't see speedrunning as all that different from experimental work. You probe, you hypothesize, you have breakthroughs, you compete in what's generally a pretty healthy way, and you communicate and document. Look at how this scales, how many people get in and get obsessed, etc. To really master quantum hall, you need to have have a devotion to the field that's comparable to "completing Super Mario 64 with half an A press."
> remember that both accountants provided detailed testimony in an open court room - not from a torture chamber

Using torture to force victims to testify against themselves or others in an open court room was routine in early USSR, for example, so I don't see how this changes anything.
It seems like there are always massive difficulties with coming up with use cases for blockchain that central authorities/legal frameworks don't already solve perfectly fine or better.

"This fence is so long and sprawling that even thinking about painting it negatively affects my health. But I bet you could knock it out in under an hour," Tom said to the other children.

In Japan, you definitely see bikes going fairly quickly on sidewalks where there is a fair bit of pedestrian traffic. I'm especially careful in Japan to not make any possibly unpredictable side to side moves when walking because that's a good way to get clipped.

I've even seen bikes trying to make their way through a pedestrian crush that's basically the people density of Times Square in NYC.
I am frustrated by pinterest because I often use google image search to not only find an image, but to find information behind it. For example I was looking for images of camper van builds - if I saw a particular photo of a camper van interior, I want to know more information about something I see in it or possibly more photos from the same build. The photo on pinterest clearly did not originate on pinterest, it's taken from elsewhere on the internet (probably violating the copyright holder's rights in the process) and doesn't link back to the source in any way. So I'm left with pages full of images that don't help me in any way because they're scraped from other sites and pushed potentially relevant results to the background of search results. The whole process is just frustrating, and to me that's why pinterest has made the internet worse.

Also dismissing the nag screen as "not a problem for most people" completely omits the fact that it's still horribly annoying and continues to show constantly even when i've dismissed it a thousand times in my life. i'm not going to reward crappy behavior and clogging search results by registering for your site, and even if i did, i don't want to have to log in on a million devices and any time i use someone else's computer to avoid seeing it again
> EVERYTHING beautiful is skeuomorphic

I don't think you can make any kind of categorical statement like this about a topic as subjective as beauty. Maybe you only find skeuomorphic things beautiful, but some of us disagree.
It's so asinine to me that the commuter benefits in our tax code help subsidize car commuting while offering nothing to people that commute via bike or ebike. If the ebike tax credit or bike commuter benefits end up becoming law in the next few months, I'm almost definitely going to buy an ebike.
That kind of technology will leak through the whole industry.

Either by hiring those very sought out CPU engineers, sharing processes and components, etc.

Even if you cannot order OEM Apple Silicon chips it doesn't mean it won't directly change the whole industry. There is a significant percentage of people who are in the market for good laptops and that's enough market for companies like Intel to imitate Apple and strive to achieve their impressive benchmarks.
My point Kragen was kind of the inverse of that. Not so much that the argument for censorship was strengthened but moreso what the human condition did with those provileges.
Yeah, they definitely need to do better, but forums can have the same phone verification requirements, it's not really a negative of Discord compared to forums in my opinion
Less imagination is needed than in the nuclear scenario. There, we have to image spending 12 digit sums to get the nuclear industry off its deathbed.
And it is not easy really! But none of these fancy "Simplest Guide" seems care about the details. I finally started to spend some time to learn how Ethereum actually works (not conceptually or principally) last weekend. While I can compile the Sol file and "deploy" the contract. I don't even know at this point what JSON-RPC call looks like if I want to invoke the contract on the testnet, nor I figured out how to transfer money between addresses with only JSON-RPC call, not coding up a new contract.
Fuel is miniscule part of nuclear energy cost. With increased demand it will be profitable to prospect for more, and uranium is not a rare element.
This guy should write another piece explaining why England is a republic since the Magna Carta, with senators wily enough to pilfer Augustus' "The Republic is functioning regularly" and make it "The Monarchy is functioning regularly" (except for the occasional termination with great prejudice of 'monarchs' who got ideas).
Very cool introductory article!

Game hacking techniques have gotten even more advanced and cat-and-mouse than this in recent years, though. My brother is really into this stuff and I hear a lot from him.

For example, nowadays anti cheats like Unreal's EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) ban the use of certain drivers because people are relying on e.g. vulnerable Intel wifi chipset drivers in Windows in order to have a way to get into the kernel's memory space to modify game memory without the anti-cheat knowing[0] (after all, it's your wifi driver not your own arbitrary kernel module!) - so people are constantly finding vulnerable drivers that anti-cheats don't know about.

Also heard rumors that the Windows kernel actually has undocumented anti-cheat hooks directly in it these days so that anti-cheat engines can plug into, as part of the Windows store initiative.

Interesting stuff.

This is exactly what I did. I wanted to learn DC circuits and battery technology and I did that in spades.

Batteries are really simple, just need to respect them. If you are going to use recycled batteries, I suggest you buy a Opus c3400 tester. Run them through a complete charge/discharge cycle to identify capacity and bad cells. If they get hot, take them out and properly recycle them at Autozone. Otherwise, write down the capacity on the cell.

You can use repakr once you have 100 cells or so. I went with a 13s6p configuration for a 48volt system. I learned a ton from Micah Toll's DIY Lithium Battery book. Also, register at Endless-Sphere and start reading. Eventually the information will coalesce and you can start to buy bits and bobs. Take your time and don't rush buying right away... lots to learn.
The moped licensing process definitely has a quieting effect on the amount of mopeds you see. I tried to get one thinking I would just take a little written test since I had a drivers license already. If the state was letting me drive a multiton vehicle it should be trivial for me to be allowed to drive a vehicle I could lean back up up with my own strength. Boy was I wrong. Several hundred dollars for the moped safety course ran by a private company sanctified by the state and I would have to rent their moped for the test, since it would be illegal for me to buy my own and practice with it since I don't have a moped license. Chicken and egg. It only works with cars because literally everyone has a car you can borrow and you don't have to go to driving school once you are an adult, but with mopeds and motorcycles you are beholden to these for profit schools that have lobbied themselves into regulatory permanence.
I don't have assist. I went strait throttle and I have about 20 miles before I get voltage sag that is really annoying.
I know JS's case somewhat well and the lesson there is not the comment such as above that "it just does the right thing". JS doesn't use a "String Builder" under the hood with a lot of string + calls, but instead that JS does subtly the "wrong" thing as an optimization: in the .NET CLR strings are always, always immutable (or they are not strings according to guarantees that the CLR makes). JS lives in a single language VM that makes no such guarantees, and often lives in strictly single threaded worlds where the VM doesn't have to guarantee the immutability of strings to anyone at the binary memory layout level, so most JS VMs are free to do the "wrong thing" (from the .NET CLR perspective) and just mutably alter strings under the hood as a deliberate optimization.

There's a lot of interesting conflations of "right" versus "wrong" in this this thread. There's the C# "best practices" "right" versus "wrong" of knowing when to choose things like StringBuilder over string.Concat or string's + operator overloading (which does just call string.Concat under the hood). There's the "does that right/wrong" apply to other languages question? (The answer is far more complex than just "right" and "wrong".) There's the VM guarantees of .NET CLR's hard line "no string is mutable" setting a somewhat hard "right" versus "wrong" and other language's VMs/interpreters not needing to make such guarantees to themselves or to others. None of these are really ever "right" versus "wrong", almost all of them are trade-offs described as "best practices" and we take the word "best" too strongly especially when we don't know/examine/explore the trade-off context it originated from (and sometimes wrongly assuming that "best" means "universally the best").
There are a number of programs like this - the NIH MIRA is another.

They also have their problems, but it's good to have some of them in the mix.
In case of ANC, it definitely did things that fit the colloqual definition of terrorism - i.e. targeting civilians for political purposes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMkhonto_we_Sizwe#1980s:_Bombi...

That's not a justification of apartheid, though. One can argue that apartheid and terrorism are both morally despicable. Or one may argue that terrorism is sometimes justifiable.

And there are many other historical examples of the same. E.g. Soviet partisans did a lot of things that would also be considered terrorism during WW2 - targeting not Germans or their pet militias, but civilians accused of collaboratinism (which could be very vaguely defined - e.g. teachers who refused to close down schools on occupied territories). Again, you could debate whether it was justified or not, especially in the context of much broader use of terrorist tactics by Germans themselves, but that's a separate conversation.
My dad hooked up a GPS to his laptop with a serial port and successfully used it with Microsoft Streets as perhaps one of the first car GPS navigation systems, maybe back in 2000 or so. MS bought Streets in 1994, four years before Google was founded. They dropped the ball with maps.
… huh? Visual Studio is extremely not dead, they are literally about to release a 64-bit version after a massive rework. VS Code is a text editor which you can extend into being an IDE. Visual Studio is an IDE.

There are many reasons why one might be unable to upgrade to the latest version of any given thing. For an example close to my heart of why one might be unable to upgrade to .NET 6 (or indeed to later versions of the .NET 5 SDK), there's the showstopping https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/10389.
Speed limits is how it is usually done -- cars can all go much faster than most roads allow for and we are mostly fine.

Set speed limits and mercilessly fine serious violations, and the problem goes away as far as it will ever be.

Perhaps the Discourse forum you visited had Top as the default view? Usually it's Latest which is the topics which most recently had a reply. When you create an account on the forum you should have the New and Unread views available as well, which are tailored to your user account.

Plus, all the equipment and expertise to monitor radioactive waste is already there.
Yeah, and, in Los Angeles, it would require a nuclear explosion somewhere nearby for this to even be plausible. These people were so full of shit it was insane.

A friend of mine is an architect. He told me the footings they had me pour would allow me to build a four story building on the same site.

As a libertarian/classical liberal this experience fed further confirmation of to my lack of interest for big government running everything. I can't even imagine the same level of surreal bullshit applied to, say, healthcare.
Adoption of a fork by it's nature essentially requires there be a "liquidation event". If every single BTC user is on board then that's an "easy" game to play, you simply pick a date and coordinate with everyone that the old BTC becomes completely worthless and the new BTC is worth exactly as much as the old BTC.

That, of course, would not happen. Even if there were such an event you'd still see people trying to beat the clock and mass liquidate the old BTC while there's still demand, or people immediately liquidating their positions in "new BTC" because they think it's not going to eclipse "old BTC".

We have a good real world example of these very things happening with things like BCH and Ethereum Classic still trading quite regularly. Both were the result of some users deciding to move to a fork and some deciding to stay. In traditional markets you could make some parallels with a stock split or demerger.
It is incredibly naïve to think that a thought based on knowledge has the same value as a thought based on ignorance.
One of the reasons I took the position I did was that - fairly rarely for my field, which is heavily grant funded - there was enough hard money to do some curiosity driven research and methods development.
> Note: Ethereum smart contract is the code that is deployed over Ethereum blockchain. It is written as a transaction on the block so no one can alter the logic. This is also known as Code is Law.

By bringing up Ethereum smart contracts and not Bitcoin smart contracts, the article implies that Bitcoin does not support smart contracts. But it has done so since its launch in 2009. The term "smart contract" was coined by Nick Szabo. From Wikipedia:

> Smart contracts were first proposed in the early 1990s by Nick Szabo, who coined the term, using it to refer to "a set of promises, specified in digital form, including protocols within which the parties perform on these promises".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_contract

Bitcoin implements smart contracts in part through "Script," the custom Forth-like language:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script

No doubt for marketing purposes, the myth that "Bitcoin doesn't do smart contracts" continues to be propagated. Reading the two Wikipedia articles clearly demonstrates the fallacy of this idea.
Rag paper, perhaps? Not a great location for a paper plant.
Yea, part of it is that for some reason various sources picked up the news about the Pi and it spread very very fast to (relatively) mainstream media. I never witnessed that kind of phenomenon with the other boards (not even arduino.. I have no idea how that got so popular).

I wonder how much that kind of exposure can be attributed to luck and just being at the right place at the right time?
I'm extremely surprised by this weird dichotomy. vbulletin era was "low" on tech yet there were a lot of nice chill places.. there was almost nothing special, no ease, few rules, convos were mostly humans and fun. Now there's kilotons of resources (brain and money) trying to make all this go to mars and yet it only creates frailty. Super odd.
You can get adware/malware -free versions from github: https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine

The installer on their website has been pushing bad-ware for a while now unfortunately.
Is there any documentation about creating an integration with nodebb? For example, I have a course on gumroad, and I want to give write access to nodebb based on if a user has a current subscription on gumroad.
Are you using the installer that installs adware/malware, or are you subscribing to the author's Patreon to get the plain binaries? I wish the author would just let you buy a one-time license for it.
Instead of "phone" do you actually mean "laptop"? Interfacing with a SIM through a computer seems pretty Futuramaistic to me. How does _that_ work?
I really like the landing page!
If anything this can be ascribed to resilience of nuclear generation. The tsunami in question killed (in a first world country, no less) many thousands of people.

The outdated nuclear plant located in the midst of the disaster killed none.
The same for the NATO-attached airplanes flying close to the Russian air-space in the Black Sea area.
I am here to say the same thing. From Hong Kong, where I live, all results are links to e-commerce sites in the region, no pinterest results at all.
>“The problem is that the clothing is not biodegradable and has chemical products, so it is not accepted in the municipal landfills,”

I assume this has to do with coatings like scotchguard, as opposed to the composition, which isn't much different from packing materials and other household trash.

But do they deny landfilling entire types clothing because of the coatings of very few of them?
Even if that math works, we've been dealing with this for nearly 2 years, and it was clear right from the start the disease would end up endemic. Surely that's enough time to build capacity, or at least procure temporary capacity in neighboring countries? It's not like you need a ton of expensive equipment to care for a COVID patient. It's not a tumah.
