I'm not that surprised, the pound is still fairly weak compared to historical averages which is likely to have knocked it down international rankings like this.

The only one of these on the list I have any experience with though is Paris, the main thing I remember is that eating out there seemed to be a lot more expensive than London for the rough equivalent and an amount that would get you an ok place to stay in London got me absolute garbage in Paris. But this is all vague personal experience anecdotes.

Sure, we have a few outdoor charging spots here in Lisbon as well. I can tell you exactly what will happen here:

-politicians made a big deal of building said spots when there were close to zero electric cars on the street. Many tv spots were bought.
-people start buying electric cars en masse because hey, insfrastructure! Two free chargers per street!
-no more easy PR to milk. Turns out scaling street charging will be expensive and bring no extra popularity.
-Five years later, we'll still have two chargers per block but a hundred times more electric cars. Back to step zero.
The exact same thing thing happened to me last night. Account suspended with a perfect but low volume selling record. I haven't used it for a year.

Received an email this morning saying it has been reinstated. Either way it did make me waste my time removing my cards from PayPal and emptying that account. The reason I stopped using them is that they appeared to manually use the direct debit to take money from my account (and more than they should have) after I'd logically won against a fraudulent return according to their policies last year.

My last action was to make a SAR which showed again that it was closed against their policies.

Knowing eBay at first I thought they may have looked into the case and wanted to cover their backs. I wouldn't be too surprised now if it was just a bug.
> you had to notice various nuances to the problem that slowed you down

How can I ignore my own argument in this discussion that proves my point? :D

> In short, you're saying "It's about speed; everything else doesn't matter"

Of course not, I'm saying "various people have various goals, and noticing that you can simplify sliding windows doesn't matter when you're after speed and naively calling `sum` is faster to type".

This reminds me of a very entertaining book - Kingpin by Kevin Poulsen. It vividly described aspects of that world, albeit from 10-15+ years ago and through the lens of a smaller more specific variety of real life characters.

The level specialization only seems to have risen since. When you have that, you get so many aspects that just look like legitimate office or tech work. Amazing considering that all those layers of abstraction must make it difficult to even comprehend. There must be smart people out there who really get it though, and they must occupy particularly safe niches in that ecosystem.
What are you anxious about when living alone? Just being alone, or the thought that something might happen to you and no one would know?

I love living alone, but sometimes at night I do get a pang of anxiety: what if I choke on something and there's no one around to help?!

Other than that, I love having my own space with no one but my cats around. I think my ideal living situation with a partner would be either us having two separate apartments nearby or at _least_ one larger house where we each have our own dedicated space to retreat to (for days, if desired). The thought of being around someone else 24/7 just sounds stressful and no matter how comfortable I feel with the person I'm never _fully_ relaxed until I am alone.
>how do you know that we aren't prone to getting stuck?

I never said we aren't prone to getting stuck, in fact I was trying to suggest the opposite although maybe I wasn't very clear.

A possible implication of being in a simulation, if we are in one, is that maybe we're more likely to get "stuck."

That possibility was the very connection between this article and Sean Carroll's argument that led me to make my comment.
How many people were/are "essential workers" for who lockdowns dont actually apply? Postal and package delivery workers? "Health Care adjacent" professions running stuff to nursing homes?

The recognition those people got last time amounted to extra overtime without pay and some signs and memes about how great they were for bringing us our shit. This time I suspect many of them won't fall for it.
Public transit can be organized much better than that. There need not be one hub in a city for example. Sure it will never cover 100% if all cases well, but it can cover enough to get the majority of the people to not have a car at all.

Most of the leaders of transit systems are not interested in good transit though. (The exceptions don't speak good English from what I can tell )
I live in an appartment, as do many others. Good luck reeling your cable from the 4th floor to your car which is 100m away and with a sidewalk between. Even if you can do it, not sure whether you will get fined for it.

For future readers. The Little Ice Age, a glacial period after the Middle Age Warm era, ended around 1850. Since all climate models used by the IPCC start from that point, they would predictably show rising temperatures, as the globe began another mini interglacial period.
>> "4.2 > V" BSD -vs- System V, X-Wing / Death Star Poster

Funny poster, but that is not even an X-Wing. It looks more like a mashup of a BSG Viper with two WH40k Tau Burst Cannons strapped on (the older version, with the naked barrels).

One would hope that PhD students at the top-rated US universities would be able to tell the difference.
You can also think of a 20% project as being the last item in your work queue.

When your "real job" is too busy, gets dropped. When you are ahead of schedule, it gets pulled out to keep you from idling.

It doesn't have to be literally 20% of your time every day, week or quarter, although some people structure it that way in practice.
Good one. Or what about: Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
When you're buying a car, you're buying optionality for personally controlled mobility that's comfortable, immediately available, weather proof and able to carry people and cargo - even if you regularly take public transport, there can be major benefits to this.

Today, i live in a modern mega city were this kind of facility is available at any time of the day with a wait time of < 10 mins although i have a few situations a year where I've had to cancel appointments because i just couldn't get a cab. These instances are few enough that I don't bother with owning a car.

However in my previous city, many of these conditions were simply not true - so I had a car and because it was a low cost of living country, a driver too from the time we were expecting our first child to minimise the strain and uncertainty of chaotic traffic and parking. I used to get dropped at a convenient public transport point in a way that minimised my total commute time.

Where my parents and cousins live, most of these conditions are not true and they're forced to own a car.

As another example, in Japan, a very large proportion of households own a car for the optionality even though most commute via train to work because the places they live in don't have the facilities.

Looking at the trip I took over Thanksgiving, there are 3 Superchargers on the route, 2 of which I would pretty much have to stop at. The 3rd one is more than 300 miles from the start, and the second one is more than 200 miles from the destination. So 2 stops, 10-15 minutes each. One stop is several miles from the freeway on a busy town road, which isn't bad, but another 10-15 minutes. The other stop is very close to the freeway, so pretty much just charge time.

The largest gaps between gas stations on that trip are probably 20 or 30 miles.

I would describe the Supercharging trip as very doable, but it requires following ~1 available plan vs just stopping when it is convenient (for a bathroom break or snack or whatever).
I think it’s important to note that it’s a little misleading to think of it as being paid to go to school. In most cases, especially past your first year and unless you’re on some special grant, you are paid because you are working for your advisor on his research projects. You have a boss telling you what to code and they will have a large say in what you’re working on.

Python 3. The 2 vs 3 era ended quite some ago. Most major operating systems that aren't end of life have Python 3.6+ installed by default giving you access to nice things like f-strings.

A lot of Python 2.x scripts will work with Python 3. If they don't then it's on you to fix them since Python 2.x was officially labeled end of life almost 2 years ago from today. On the bright side, your Python 2.7 script had a good run. 2.7 was released back in 2010, so having ~10 years of not having to worry about anything is pretty good! Chances are we'll get the same experience or longer with Python 3.6+, we already at the 5 year mark for Python 3.6.

Of course it is driven by demand. Government corruption has nothing to do with it.
Thanks for the answer! It does make sense. With a few caveats, however. From my experience, this is a way to go if you:

- Identified your market fit as users who appreciate and accept calls (not the case for many. GenZ, for example, does not fit)

- These calls are the main motto for the app (but in this case, I do not understand why you hide all the other features from potential users like me. I do not need personal calls, but I could change my mind after a few trial weeks with proper motivation)

Anyway, do not get me wrong. These are just my two cents. Otherwise, good luck with the project!

I, and a lot of people I know, microwave their German ID cards immediately upon receiving them.

Bad enough that German citizens are required by law to have a valid ID card in the first place (see Ausweispflicht). Something pretty unique and a relic from the third Reich. We don‘t need more data on them. It will be leaked, it will be misused, it will have exploitable mistakes. ID cards should stay a dumb piece of plastic.
Well, nothing really is representative, is it?

Norway is a sparsely populated, thin country over a vast distance, and the northern half has some pretty harsh winter conditions.

Put another way: If Norway can, surely Germany and Spain can.
> Also I just checked the median transaction amount on Bitcoin and it's something about $200. So it's reasonable to assume that at least half of all transactions are actual purchases of things and services.

No it isn’t.

There is a parallel to this comment that is not much thought about in mechanical CAD: some designers use tools that get the job done, but the model breaks if you look at it funny. It is all too easy to fall in this trap unless management is willing to pay for models that are maintainable and not just quickly moved out the door. Asking engineers to use the "principle of least astonishment" and develop work others can maintain is difficult at first. It's inculcating the idea of model maintainability and then supporting it against budget constraints that takes the work.

Did you pull this from the browser console's "Copy as cURL" function?

I tried this with some success (there's even a utility for translating cURL to Python - imagine that! https://curlconverter.com/) but I had some issues after a while, probably because the cookie/session token expired.

It's "impossible" for such robot to have the situational awareness of a human. So probably a safeguard against it moving out on a place of the road where it isn't supposed to be.
As soon as I saw that he had used the word "handjob", I was skeptical that the reason for the shadow ban had to do with opposing the dislike change.

Everyone is hating on the removal of the dislike count; across many videos and many comments. If I hear that more of them are getting removed or shadow banned and that they hadn't used a vulgar word, I'll start believing that YouTube is suppressing opposition to the change.

Not possible Covid can be transmitted by animals too. Also they already admitted that it doesn't give immunity even with the old variants. It's also not even a traditional (Virus based) Vaccine, it's an experimental (Protein based) Biologics Treatment.
VAERS also already shows that it is even short term very dangerous, they recorded more adverse effects than all other Vaccines in the last 30 years combined.

I don't see a precedent here at all, unless you are talking about the Nuremberg Code that forbids forced experimental treatments.
And a lot of those poor people have specialised machines to cut the forest.

To use a Python-specific framework you're better off using Python. Well duh.
I've never thought about it this way!

Have always thought of Amazon as "providing services / platform" to seller.

But from the reverse perspective, Amazon is outsourcing to sellers. Amazon is handling so much of the transaction, the seller may never actually see the product. Sellers are getting paid, primarily, for managing inventory risk.
Allowing sellers to price their items higher on Amazon than elsewhere means it's possible for the seller to offer me a better price, and still make more money (because their costs are lower when Amazon isn't involved).

When Amazon can force a "lowest price" the cost of Amazon's service always gets passed to me, and the lowest possible price is higher.

That's 1000 km. Which is much farther than any gasoline powered car with a full tank.

Range anxiety will stop being a thing when electric vehicles are common and nobody thinks of them a something special. It's a matter of social acceptance, and the infrastructure that follows.

TLDR: There are over 50 career roadmaps right now. It's built with golang and nextjs. You can see the github repository over here https://github.com/guyandtheworld/reallyconfused and the whole website is hosted over here https://reallyconfused.co/

Full Story: Five years ago as I was learning to code, I was frustrated about not knowing the whole journey. Recently I decided to revisit this problem and to solve this, I decided to build a web app where you can create and share learning roadmaps, and beginners can explore roadmaps based on careers and programming languages. The aim of this project is not to give a single roadmap to anyone as a prescription that promises a career if you do X, Y and Z, but merely an exploratory platform that can be used as a source of inspiration if you get stuck because no tech career path is the same. I managed to get over 50 learning roadmaps on a variety of careers and programming languages. It's built with golang and nextjs and use postgres as a database. I'd love your feedback and your criticism!

Best Regards.

Andrew Skurka has similarly meticulous “long term reviews”of running/backpacking gear: https://andrewskurka.com.

He runs and backpacks more in one year than many people do in their lifetimes, which means he gets to observe deterioration quickly, and develop + test opinions very rapidly. Through his blog and reviews, he’s changed my mind on a lot of things that I wouldn’t have questioned otherwise.

The twin “appeals to authority” of experience and conscientiousness, when plainly genuine, are a deservedly powerful thing.
OMG Erindale's voice is so soothing. I have nothing to do with blender or animation at all and I've just watched half of his hexagon video and it's just soo relaxing!
Are you me (with a few differences in coping strategies)?

Stress levels certainly impact my urge to spend. Getting outside for a walk or hike is a good distraction.

I use YNAB. I probably look at the budget too much.

I force myself to sell things if it's reasonable to sell them when I want something new. I've sold many phones on Swappa and elsewhere.

I have multiple credit cards and usually pay them off more than once a month. Something about having low balances on cards and in my checking account helps me reduce impulse buying.

I have been trying to redirect the urge to buy something into putting the money into retirement accounts instead. Small purchases of things also helps me to avoid some big purchases.

I buy nice things when I want something in a category. That limits the need to buy an upgrade later.

"Ich winke dir" is valid without "zu", but depending on where you live, unusual. "Ich habe dir gewunken" sounds less strange already.
I moved to the EU from the US. It's a much better deal. It's treated as employment. I get a salary that's above the median for the city (50k Euro), health insurance, 5 weeks paid vacation and I can bike everywhere :)

I used to make more than double in the states, but I'm just happier here.

If you're considering a PhD, consider doing it in EU
Thanks for bringing this up. It does mostly work the same with shell but the -p flag of read isn't available with POSIX compliant shell. I ended up changing that slightly and pushed a patch to use sh now. Every other feature of the script worked the same with sh without modification.

As for using #!/bin/bash instead of #!/usr/bin/env bash, that was an oversight from 2 years ago. I addressed that too in the above patch by using #!/usr/bin/env sh.

I am a cyclist (7/8k km/year) and I think that this product will become popular only if the price will be low.

Maybe it would be better to have an integration to something similar with Veloviewer than display HRM and power information.
I'm actually curious whether that is always the truth.

I've been in the industry for several years and made enough savings to cover my current lifestyle for a long time while also paying a significant stipent to a university.

Would it make sense to consider good PhDs where I wouldn't be able to get a salary, or are they always 100% scams?
Yes, except there used to be an extremely readable bar that would let you see the like/dislike ratio at a glance.

Sure, you and I can do the math, establish a threshold value above which a video is worth watching (this was _much_ more intuitive with a like:dislike ratio btw), and compare that for each video. But can your mom do that? Can your kids do that? Can you do that while drunk? Can you do that with mind fog and high fever from Covid? Can you do that during a schizophrenic episode? Can you do that when you have early stage dementia?

This change is an attack on the people most susceptible to manipulation. I am outraged that you're making up excuses.
Right from the very first bytes of your cli app you run into issues. The interpreter line. You have to choose #!/usr/bin/python or #!/usr/bin/python2 or #!/usr/bin/python3 (or similar variations with /usr/bin/env). All of these happily ignored by Windows. The latter two may not exist on some platforms. The first one could be invoking either a python2 or python3 interpreter.

There's some python magic for determining the version, but if you use a feature not supported by the version it raises an uncatchable exception...because python's parser has control before your code has control.

This isn't the only deployment issue, but a good example of what you're in for.
That is somewhat true. The main issue is getting out of/into the city center. For example, getting to the big tech park of tel aviv (Ramat HaHayal) can take over an hour with a bus.
So people take cars, but then there's so much traffic and lack of parking, it also takes an hour.
Not much for someone who lives in the US but you can essentially drive half of Israel in an hour.

It also makes visiting family , which is a big thing in Israeli culture and enabled by short distances, very annoying if you don't have a car.

Scooters and e-bikes "solved" a lot of these troubles inside the city, but infrastructure hadn't caught up - not enough bike lanes make it very dangerous and injuries and even deaths are not uncommon. The upcoming newly built intercity tram should theoretically also help.
