You write like this was made as a conscious decision, based on city planning somehow. There is significant research that shows people are much happier in walkable communities. Moreover, the car centric solution is not scalable as cities grow. Almost 50% of the world population already live in cities worldwide. That number is estimated to grow to 75% over the next 30 years.

It is also interesting that you mention kids. Amongst the poorer and the elderly children are kids the main group to really suffer from the car centric design of cities. Essentially, you completely restrict their mobility, preventing them to move around on their own accord and instead making them relent on parents to drive them somewhere. I would not be surprised if this significantly contributes to the problems of children becoming less and less resilient and independent.
At least it should be a bit less surprising now that every CPU has SSE instructions where a 32 bit float is actually stored in a 32 bit vector register instead of a 80 bit FPU register that may be dropped to a 32 bit memory location whenever your compiler feels like it. Makes the results a lot more consistent.
This is a system dreamed up by those who have been on the right side of hard power for long enough to forget it exists.
> Roads are great. Streets are great. Good city planning involves plenty of both. Just like your body needs both arteries and capillaries. Stroads don't solve either problem as well as just having both does, and they introduce tons of problems besides.

But it's not like the human body just has the aorta and a bunch of capillaries. It has arteries of every size in between too.

Public post mortems are usually done by growing companies that have something to lose. AWS is too big to “lose” anything.
tl;dr but…

“ In 1970, a presidential commission on campus unrest connected the nationwide spate of violent protests that year — including eight thousand actual or attempted bombings and seven thousand arrests — to weak undergraduate teaching. College professors “have become so involved in outside research that their commitment to teaching seems compromised,” the commission found. Unrest was most common at the largest universities, which had “failed [students] in a larger moral sense” by herding them into enormous classes taught by disengaged faculty members or inexperienced graduate students. ”

Per capita naturally maps to the idea that people's behaviors are innate in aggregate -- given a particular context you would expect the same distribution of people to behave in a particular fashion (become journalists, become journalists who question authoritarianism at the wrong place and wrong time, have a fetish for murdering journalists, ...).

That isn't always a relevant idea, but it's a useful model that adequately describes a wide variety of phenomena. On the surface it seems applicable to journalist jailings; the count of journalists increases per capita, and if their behavior is independent of world population then you would expect (absent other information or constraining factors) for behaviors leading to imprisonment (not assigning blame -- this could be as simple as wrong-place-wrong-time "behaviors") to also increase per capita.
That sounds perfectly fine. Different tools for different use cases and all that.

Most users will probably prefer a GUI version, but Sway users aren't most users.
But is there any case where you'd actually trust a pile of blockchains more than an existing trust mechanism (whether that's neighbourliness, contract law, or something else)? If you're not a programmer, getting a programmer to review your smart contract probably costs more than getting a lawyer to review your regular contract. If you are a programmer, you probably know better than to rely on some code being bug-free.
Inverters are far better than anything rotating-mass-based for control over waveform. At least if you want to, that is. You just take a (possibly GPS-disciplined) quartz oscillator and have no issues hitting 50ppm frequency stability at lower phase noise than can get through the system at 50/60Hz.

They can essentially do this instantly, i.e., substantially sub-wavelength of your line frequency (a PWM of 10 kHz isn't even high for an inverter, and 100 kHz is well within what's feasible for large systems operating at a couple hundred volts; 10 kHz would equate a light-speed delay of 30km, 100 kHz of just 3km, which gets into the territory of relativistic w.r.t. medium voltage rings in cities).
Yea, yard work is a nice escape. I am fortunate to have recently obtained something that can be called a yard after having moved on from living in the city. I am doing my best to treat it as a conservation effort. We've started composting, I'm researching bird houses for the surrounding native birds (nesting only, no feeders), and I am looking for other ways to properly manage the place.

I recently started researching how to have a lawn that's sustainable and acts as a carbon sink, and what I learned is basically the opposite of what the typical suburban yard does, which is usually to plant grass and weed out all unwanted weeds and species. Apparently that's quite bad for the soil and doesn't capture carbon well. A lot of people in my area have even cut down trees, put up fences, and made mono lawns. I found this article helpful.

https://news.globallandscapesforum.org/38003/how-to-turn-you...

I really like the quote "We need to stop treating our soil like dirt". I'm looking forward to the spring and getting to plant locally native wildflowers. We had a bee or two in the fall when we first got here, and I'd love to see more activity.
We need that road... think of the children!
Oh, that's what it is? Ahh!!
The irony of course being that you would have to fully trust the programmer who reviews your contract.

All of the examples of having to trust the government in this article neglect the fact that trusting the government is not just trusting the government, and it’s not just the government storing a deed or giving you a Social Security Number that makes it real. It’s the whole complex web of laws and regulations that created these policies that make them real, and the people (your fellow citizens) who have collectively decided to run society by these rules. Your recourse when somebody runs afoul of these rules is the courts, which you may feel free to criticize, but pretending they don’t exist is just silly.
> Most of the descriptions I’ve seen focus on mechanisms - block chains, smart contracts, tokens, etc - but I would argue those are implementation details ... The real question is what fundamental capability are people pointing to when they talk about web3?

That's exactly the change in focus needed in order for discussions of this topic to be more rational/sober/productive, imo.
Using @apply is the ultimate last resort though.
> nor one is saying suburbs should stop existing.

Isn't that one of Strong Towns' major beliefs?
Depends on if their thinking is authority based (dogmatic) or logic based. The logical people definitely change their minds when new evidence arises.
You cannot even stop a NaN from propagating, I would think that affects a lot more than just scientific computing. Of course games probably don't check, I ran into having NaN money in at least one game I played.
To be honest 40C is quite doable, as long as you have shade (trees) water features (lakes/rivers) and a distance of a couple of km - I’ve cycled like that for fun, not just to get to a destination.

Now I would never do that on such an asphalt desert of course, a car is way more comfortable, the question remains why would you turn a lush greenery (as I’d imagine a texan climate could be) into something you’re only comfortable crossing in heavy and expensive survival gear. Especially if living in that gear leads to all the allergies you’ve mentioned.

Where I live if I wanted to cycle the worst would be snow followed by cycles of thawing and freezing, which leaves the routes a miserable mess, so I have to fire up my trusty corolla, but apart from that (20% of the time) I prefer biking for sure.

And I live in the shithole of the european union, the poorest of the member states, and am constantly amazed how much better the city planning is here, even with all of its flaws.

For example a UK colleague when visiting sent a picture how he got lost in a wilderness forest, on his way on foot from the downtown hotel to the office, since the capital itself is littered with small pockets of lush (and I mean really lush) greenery.

I can’t imagine what great things could be accomplished if you had the resources of a place like texas… You could make your city be so great, people go there as a tourist just to enjoy being there, and not for the novelty.
The government encompasses all of those things, so I think when the author says "trust the government", it implies all of those things.
Not eparating concerns also fails VERY hard, but that bites you in the arse when you least expect or want it (unlike writing good CSS which takes only patience and studying).

There's a reason why inline styles and important! were to be avoided
> Some of the prior employees enjoyed playing with advanced language features and writing libraries for the most general possible case

Scala the language is quite fine, but it attracts this kind of programmers. The damage they do to a codebase has to be undone by someone who both understands those advanced concepts and is not a FP fanatic.
succinctly said. all these web3 / crypto folks forget complex laws exist to prevent and remedy situations that can't be simply solved by smart contracts. most of the laws are so complex, we've professionals who specialise in them.
Returning to this one after doing more research, there seems to be a 90%+ protection after reinfection, from all strains so far, and similar protection against hospitalization. Vaccination effects on previously infected individuals is touted as giving better protection, but the data is shaky at best. We'll need years more data.

Right, but the government is not just some unaccountable third party that sits between you and the rest of society. It is meant to embody the society, and, in a democracy, represent its interests effectively.

I feel like web3 continues the trend (in a good way) of the financialization of everything.

The primitives of web3 effectively enable the fine grained economic measurement and distribution of every element of value-exchange, and gives folks the ability to participate in these cashflows where they were previously not able to.

Now that there's standards for representations of value / governance / etc (ERC-20) now any protocol that supports ERC-20 tokens can be applied to any ERC-20 token. Ditto for NFTs.

As an example, if you want to split cashflows from any source based on some pro-rata ownership of tokens: there's a off-the-shelf battle tested contract for that. This composability and remixability of economic value flows has never existed before. Mix that with governance concepts in DAOs and you effectively have a parallel system of capital allocation and investment decision making.

p.s. Charles Stross was amazingly prophetic in Accelerando where the Superintelligent AIs create a system of economics called Economics 2.0, which is indecipherable to humans. Reminds me of smart contracts interacting :)
Just push it to some image registry (e.g. the one that comes with GitLab), and then use it as image on the next job.

You can also use tags to enforce that it is the same runner who runs the two jobs, so that pulling the image becomes instant
Hi, your answer is absolutely correct.
Isn’t it the visibility thing? Yeah a centralised database can do this. Good luck getting access to it. “Security” says you can’t.

I think that one of the allures of the blockchain is that it’s publicly visible. This may or may not be a fallacy of reasoning but hey, we’re human.

Betteridge's law (of headlines) is an adage that states "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
> 4x vs 1%

Very true, but the _discrete_ counts of journalists involved are also miniscule, presenting (the aforementioned) large error bounds on exactly how great the driving force is on journalist incarcerations. 4% isn't meaningfully distinct from 1% given the actual data. It's not that unlike a fun xkcd [0]

Why is it surprising that people who love cars don't like a channel that basically says you're a bad person if you don't think cars should be abolished?

Then why are even small houses in walkable neighbourhoods so expensive? Maybe not everyone wants to live like that, but there's clearly demand for that kind of living too. Let's build some for people who want it.
IMO enterprise logging solution should write logs to file and rotate files. The rest should be done by a separate services like Loki or Logstash.
In some versions of the bill, the capital gains tax increases were actually retroactive for sales going back to September 2021. So there's a good reason to sell stock if you think that provision (or a similar one with a different effective date) might be returning.
Why is "doesn't need to create a virtualenv" a good thing? Virtualenv is just PATH enhancement. I always thought of it to be simpler than the npm run-script magic.
I have yet to see a good example of what “web3” is useful for… honestly this just smells like it’s going to be the next major hype train of 2022.

Just like VR/AR and ML/AI of yesteryear. Note that both of these examples are wonderful pieces of tech but they were blown wildly out of proportion by everyone.
Exactly. Case in point: GitHub. We trust it to provide consensus on the latest hashes that branches point to, and if you use signed commits, then you don't even have to trust it to ensure integrity. The identity used to sign is completely controlled by you, and you can easily move to a self-hosted solution if GitHub loses your trust. Distributed consensus mechanisms are not worth it if you just design your system to (a) be auditable and independently verifiable (b) support identities controlled by the users.
Thank you! I think I watched that video years ago (Anna-Maria Hefele's overtone singing) but forgot all about it, thanks for reminding me, I checked out more of her music just now. She's pretty amazing huh!
I miss the old repl.it, so I use https://riju.codes.
Well not exactly. The blockchain is distributed and you effectively can’t modify it (let’s not get into 51% attacks etc)

A centralised database is controlled and modifiable by the owner - government, private company or whoever. They will act on their best interest not yours.

I don’t personally have a problem with government having my dat although they’re usually useless at implementing technology, but a decentralised blockchain would be way more trustworthy than private companies..
The government, and all of its institutions, are indeed a third party.

The government is not some representative of the collective will. Thomas Sowell provides his experience at the Department of Labor in 1960 as a poignant demonstration of the fallacy of that notion: https://youtu.be/v6PDpCnMvvw?t=38

Another example would be the latest $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill. It was 1,500 pages long and no legislator read even an appreciable fraction of it. There were provisions in it that the public was discovering a week before it was voted on, like one threatening to classify cryptocurrency nodes as brokers with KYC requirements for any transaction they processed.

Apparently Treasury had worked behind the scenes to get this provision in the bill, to give DeFi the Patriot Act treatment: https://twitter.com/jswihart/status/1422785103386669058?s=20
The linked poll has the majority of rust developers on linux
I think there's also a substantial subset of cases that are simple/common/clear enough to have managed through an automated contract, and being able to cut out the cost of depending on the legal system would be game-changing for many people/projects/etc.

So it seems like a good complement, not a replacement.
That doesn’t fit the narrative a bunch of cranky 40 year old engineers want to believe in.

Let’s all instead gather around and discuss how code run on an aws ec2 instance solves any problem blockchain could ever hope to solve
If someone published a promising in vitro study, the mere fact that it was done and even the barest hint of a conclusion can dramatically impact one's decision to pursue that line of research. So I'm a bit skeptical that there's negligible value in biomedical research papers.
> The vanilla launcher will automatically patch 1.12 to 1.18

The patch seems to have been to the client-1.12.xml file, which I believe is the log4j configuration file for all client releases since 1.12, and the change seems to have been to add a {nolookups} flag to the log format (but I don't have an old copy of that file to compare and see if anything else was changed).

If I'm not wrong, this gives a simple way to make sure your copy of Minecraft is patched: just check if that file has that {nolookups} flag.
This is exploitable in applications that use Elastic Stack with logstash as a log processor. I've just been able to reproduce it in an Magento ecommerce with payload inserted into payments details.
Lombok still has plenty of nice features that aren’t present in vanilla Java.

If the problem you have with the web is that "the government has your data", putting it on a public blockchain certainly isn't going to solve that problem.
If you a 100 different types of buttons I can see your problem, if it is more like 5 then you just create them first and then makes the code more DRY.

For example when using React you can create 5 button components first and the refactor your code to make the 5 buttons use/call a generic button. Or have 2 generic buttons if the combinations are hard to handle. The thing with atomic CSS like Tailwind is that it very easy to quickly create a few different buttons.
It represents the lowest common denominator of what everyone can agree on. Democracies have problems when that denominator gets really low, but are relatively great when it is high
By the same token why would you roll your own instead of using a tried and true library that any experienced Java developer already knows?
So... I want to like Lisp, and every time I read stories like these I understand why people enjoy it.

But then I see a code snippet, something like this manual datetime string parser. Apparently the programmer needed to roll their own, and I wonder: how on earth am I going to convince my corpo overlords that this language belongs anywhere near a production system?

(let ((year (parse-integer string :start 0 :end 4))
(month (parse-integer string :start 6 :end 7))
(day (parse-integer string :start 9 :end 10)))
(- (+ (\* year 31556926) ;; no. of seconds in a year
(\* month 2629743) ;; no. of seconds in a month
(\* day 86400)) ;; no. of seconds in a day
(\* 1900 31556926)))) ;; lisp timestamps start at 1900
I find it fascinating that the author was forced to learn CL because there were no jobs in Haskell. I believe him, but as a Clojure developer, I find it very hard to find a lot of jobs in any functional language, especially lisps. They exist, but I just don't see a lot of good ones. Someone tell me I'm crazy.
alternatively, maybe web3 / crypto folks haven't "forgotten" something so obvious as "complex laws and lawyers exist."
Isn't this exactly the 'single point of failure' that we are always warned to guard against, whether in our coding or deployments? Yet here in our daily lives people can't get the lights on or make coffee.

But that's just it. If someone likes suburban living, and your family home is in a suburb, how do you think they'd feel about something like "suburbs are probably all going to fail anyway, so let's do a bunch of things that will definitely and quickly make them fail, and then await the glorious day when your house gets torn down and replaced by apartments, and your neighborhood becomes a replica of the inner city"?

> So, Elixir isn’t just a functional Ruby. It’s more like a functional Ruby running on a custom-built operating system that we can design and control from the very language itself to create self-healing applications.

I get that this was a huge novelty when Erlang first showed up.
But with today's deployment methods(kubernetes) doesn't every common web stack get the same self healing / auto scaling benefits?
Your average devops people are now mostly doing Kubernetes , it could actually slow down their productivity for them to relearn everything in Erlang/Elixir.
I basically don't see the big deal anymore (other than perhaps less memory overhead with Elixir) but maybe I'm missing something.
