> Also, making it legal can also help promoting safe usage

This is one of the main arguments that I support for legalisation.

I grew up in Brazil, living there up to my late 20s, moved to Sweden and have lived here for the best part of a decade. Drug education in both countries is abysmal. Abysmal and dangerous, pushing people into ignorance and killing users in the process because they are simply ignorant about dangers, dosage, etc.

In Brazil the D.A.R.E. program was imported and used in public schools for a long time, I went through it in 4th grade, the program is taught by a police officer coming every week to class to basically repeat Nancy Reagan's stupidity "Just say no!". There is no deeper exploration of the topic, just say no.

In Sweden from what I can gather through friends that were educated here, drug education is basically the same as in Brazil, just say no to drugs and all drugs are equivalent. I have a friend that was terrified for years as a teenager when she found out her sister smoked pot, she was taught in school that pot, heroin, cocaine, all are equally dangerous and will kill you over time, no matter what. For 2 years this girl lived with the anxiety of not wanting to tell on her sister and at the same time in absolute fear for her sister's life.

Drug users in Sweden are absolutely irresponsible due to their ignorance. It's hard to find people who actually know the basics of harm reduction. The danger is compounded by the fear of actually calling an ambulance if needed, because in Sweden it's not only illegal to possess, sell, distribute drugs but also to consume them, if some drug's trace is found in a blood or urine test then that, by itself, is a crime that could be prosecuted. People simply avoid calling an ambulance in dangerous drug situations due to this draconian policy, as a result Sweden has the highest death rate of drug users in the whole EU, something like 25x the rate of Portugal and 20x the rate of the Netherlands.

Education is necessary in all aspects of life and the war on drugs made education about drugs absolutely atrocious even in supposedly progressive and well-educated societies.

> Actually most people's time is cheap, so eventually people won't be ok with paying delivery fees

But it would work backwards too. India's able to do super low cost delivery because labor (for delivery) is cheap. A delivery person working for Amazon makes $140 a month - and there's plenty of labor supply. Kirana stores also have delivery, they're paid $100-120 a month. This is not going to change any time soon. They do 30 deliveries a day, so the costs are very minimal.
I read that. Doesn't at all explain why the US would be guaranteed to lose in a naval conflict in the Taiwan strait.
Which tablet did you get?

I feel like remarkable is too barebones (especially with the subscription) while the android tablets are too “everything and the kitchen sink”, which an e-ink screen isn't the right tool for.
My point is that even if you don't like it, governments including US can force you to put shit in your code, so if some government will tell Microsoft to offer an open document format MS can say "No Thanks" and leave but it happened, MS did not leave. So again, we can force Apple to implement an API for messaging if they want to stay, you might not like it but it happened before and it is not like Apple is not sucking hard on US and China gov cocks already. At least this law is not like the ones that will affect their Store tax, that will hurt the Apple shareholders much more.
For your last point: That is the reason I implemented https://healthchecks.io/ into my jobs.
> Like all industries that can move to remote, I suspect we will soon see a split. Some companies will embrace it, some won't.

I actually wrote more about it in my blog post, "Remote working and the elephant in the room": https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/remote-working-and-the-elep...

To me, it feels like we have people in the industry with wildly different preferences in regards to working, preferences that are oftentimes at odds. For a long time, the trend of working at the office has been set by the folk that are more comfortable with this mode of work and that has been considered "normal", however in the past few years many have also gotten a taste for the remote work alternative.

Personally, i wouldn't want to go back to the office, resigning and looking for a remote opportunity (or even starting my own company) being preferable to that. For other folks, the opposite is probably true. Neither is wrong, it's just that they're at odds - some people would feel as uncomfortable with remote work and async communication, as i would with in person work. The long term consequences of this remain to be seen, however.

That’s exactly the point the original commenter was making. It’s a hobby, you do this because you enjoy it, and it’s not a general off-the-shelf solution that anyone can pick and plug it in. Nothing wrong with that, I enjoy the same stuff so I know where you’re coming from. But I’d be lying if I said it’s simple and robust like the mechanical timer thing.

Both. Small bits of dishes after a meal for yourself - do them by hand. Big pile of dishes after a gathering of friends/family, or just because you let them pile up - use the dishwasher. If you have the space and can afford it, just get the dishwasher. That doesn't mean you have to use it every time, but it is there when you want it.

But umm, why?

In this specific example, what's preventing the land from being used for something more valuable than a car wash currently? I get that a land value tax would disincentivize hoarding land, but urban-sprawl-car wash hardly seems like a case of land hoarding. I think the parent was suggesting that these car washes would no longer exist because taxes would be too high under a land value tax regime - but that raises the question of what the more valuable usage is? Does there exist one, why isn't it currently being used that way, and is the reason something that lvt would rectify? If car washes are the most valuable usage, then they will either continue to exist or if the tax burden is too high in the new regime, they will stop existing and nothing will replace them.

I'm sure there are plenty of examples where lvt would encourage more efficient land usage, i'm just confused why this would be one of them.
As an European who's travelled and now lives in the UK I find that the British plugs and sockets are the best ones.

The metal connectors are big, but that feels like quality, but the plugs are not bulky off the wall because of the overall angled design (European plugs actually eat up more space off the wall because they are straight although of course europlugs take much less surface area on the wall), which is good behind furnitures or where space is tight. There is only one sort of plug and it has a well designed earth connector. Plugs include a fuse and it's easily replaceable (this is partly due to the standard use of ring circuits in the UK but I find it a nice feature anyway). They have very good grip and stay in place very well (compare this to europlug...). Sockets have an integrated switch.

British plugs are a quiet success (the other one being postcodes).
Awingu as a secure intra-network gateway
Is there any JIT that does auto-vectorization?

I kinda got the feeling from C/C++ compilers that auto-vectorization is brittle and unpredictable even there and that's with all the time an AoT compiler can invest into optimization. A JIT always has to tread the line (or multiple lines in case of tiered compilation) between optimization effort and benefit. And the usual trade-off between larger and smaller code. So speculatively unrolling short loops just to see whether anything could be vectorized is perhaps out of scope for most JITs and even in AoT-compiled languages the preferred way of getting the most out of vector instructions is just to explicitly vectorize hot loops as a programmer, as the result is often better than what the compiler could do.
Yeah, in our class we had to figure out this mostly on our own, so after it I'm still at the level where I barely manage to make make work, I'll have to look into those other ones, thanks !

I think the pro thieves just grab the bike and put it in a van.

They look relatively easy to remove with a few tools in workshop. Perhaps you can simply lock pick them, with some practice.

But they do protect against casual thieves, the ones who just grab a bike for fun, or they are drunk and need to get home, or something like that.

I've had a ring lock on my bike for decades. But then the last couple of decades the bike hasn't been in a state where the pro thieves could get any money from it. :)

And actually, I think this is the best protection: Work on reducing production cost of bikes. Most of them seem ridiculously expensive for the material that goes into them.
I actually have one of these made by Samsung. It's quite old though. It's a 40" 720p panel but it can take 1080p HDMI and looks quite ok actually. Can function as a standalone display or it has a builtin PC (a sub 1ghz AMD CPU I think, 256mb ram and a couple GB HDD inside it).

It is insanely heavy and well built (slightly dropped it once, RIP floor).

The panel: it is much much brighter than a regular TV but the kicker is there is no color or contrasts shift no matter how you look at it. I gamed on it for a while and the pixel response time is insanely fast. It is truly an amazing display. Too bad about the resolution though. I'm not using it anymore but I did not throw it away either.
> I always end up wishing I just had a keyboard and a mouse attached.

I'm with you on that. Screen keyboards suck, especially on a TV.

I still have my old Netcast 4K TV here, but the software is really clunky. It quite literally comes with advertisements built-in to the main GUI (placeholdered by "Smart LG TV") whenever you're connected to the internet. It's not seeing so much internet these days (some sort of LAN-only solution for Miracast would be nice), though.

Have you ever tried plugging a keyboard into your TV? Most of them have USB ports these days, and I'm sure with Linux they're got the basic keyboard drivers bundled.
I thought newspapers were much less consolidated and more numerous 100 years ago. Maybe tv/internet news counteracts the consolidation. And I thought that politics (the ‘conversation’?) has become a lot more national today than it used to be. But maybe that’s not relevant to your point.

> I don't know if any of these excite me -- not sure if it's burnout or just pressure or something else.

Well, what does excite you?

Keep in mind that excite can be almost any strong emotion, including things like anger, fear, or frustration, not just "it would be really cool if..."

Motivation can come from anything that gets your juices flowing, from "I can't believe they're actually charging money for this shit" to "dammit, why won't my gizmo talk to my gadget" or "oh no, $PROBLEM affecting $MY_COMMUNITY is terrible, what can I do", etc.
Fire drill would still be a good practice, though: during the fire drill you can find out your backup is corrupted, or is incomplete (you are not backing up everything you thought you were), or inaccessible (you encrypted the backup, but where are the keys...).
The paying to encourage them to stick around is intuitive, but lots of people take the approach of "I want to hire someone ambitious who wants to progress, and who is willing to work extra hours where required to get the job done because they have a personal drive/desire to succeed"

The advice here is effectively "find someone who doesn't have strong career aspirations and ensure they aren't working outside of working hours".
> But it may also be Reliance cross subsidizing from its retail business - selling at a loss in order to force rivals out of the market.

> That would be an amazing play because they can destroy the existing distribution channel, then replace the small shops at the end of it in a few years by rolling out their own small stores with very low prices and while increasing the wholesale price they now control so the family owned small stores can't compete.

Wouldn't this be considered anti-competitive behaviour by most antitrust legislation? Price dumping to force competitors out of the market is a big no-no as far as I know but I might be absolutely wrong as a layman.
I think it’s a good law, and it’s the same in the UK, just not enforced at all.

It spills over to other things electric, you have electric scooters zooming on pavements around school kids and unexpecting pedestrians, it’s terrible I think but totally ignored.

It feels like electric mobility is prioritised over pedestrian safety. Maybe because the police think these scooters displace cars (so net safety win) but I still don’t like it.
This tool served as a base for a fun project of mine [0], which consisted on injecting arbitrary bytes to a deflate stream without affecting the decompression output.

The main idea is that a stream is composed of blocks, and dynamic blocks can contain Huffman tables followed by a end-of-block symbol. Since there's no other symbols, such blocks won't produce any output when decompressed. So there's a few bytes for those tables that can be changed (e.g. to put a little ascii signature). However, this affects the codes present in the tables, which must pass some validations (for decompressors to unambiguously match parsed bits to codes). I used a SMT solver to figure out values for the remaining bytes, so that the tables had valid code counts.

Depends on the target buyers, if you are a big township/apartment resident, who works a 9 - 9 job, and don't like walking to the nearest kirana for stuff, you will be happy paying for it.

But the vast majority of the buyers, including me(though my time is not cheap), I still prefer spending a weekend afternoon shopping. This includes lots of middle class to lower middle class people whose time is cheap, and its definitely not worth for these people to pay local kiranas for incremental delivery.

As a matter of fact this is precisely the kind of crowd that shops at DMart today. These people don't like paying Flipkart delivery fees for grocery delivery.

>>This is not going to change any time soon.

It will be forced to change, if the masses shop personally and don't like paying delivery fees, the delivery services are just bespoke lifestyle perks for which you pay premium, not saying that won't happen, but eventually its just a thing you are willing to pay for and others aren't.

If you walk into a DMart today, it has all the markings of a standard US county Costco. They have cheap food products(wheat flour, rice, other food stuff at almost 30% discount), they have super cheap clothes, shoes, and other home accessories/appliances and all. When you finish shopping they also sell cheap softy ice cream and pop corn as a cooling off experience.
I think it's that it's deliberately harder to read, as if the author is disrespecting their readers. It's hard to tell where sentences start and end, so your inner voice has trouble with the shapes of phrases.

When I'm reading something and notice mistakes or unconventional features, I have to slow down and spend more time looking out for obstacles so they don't trip me up.
