> But is it actually more efficient for others to access that market? The market needs a massive parking lot to accommodate those cars....

See my point about the train. Sure people who could formerly just walk across the street or tracks lose but those pieces of infrastructure make the destination far more accessible. You turn one person's 1min trip into a 15min trip but you also turn hours long trips into 15-25min trips. Obviously rail is higher density (and much higher cost) but it's farcical to pretend like the road has no net benefit when clearly it allows more access to the attractive destination (market in this case) even if a few people's access is degraded.

>Elsewhere in this discussion someone pointed out that shops owners often resist attempts to turn their street into a pedestrian-only area, because they fear it will drive away their customers, but every time it turns out to be a boost to those shops.

Perhaps because the changes only ever get implemented where they actually make sense.

Where I live people raised the walk-ability issue twice in recent memory. It got implemented where it obviously made sense (near downtown) and didn't where it didn't (a strip mall area farther away).

> I've seen a comparison of two commercial blocks close together; one was old, had a row of old shops along the street and hadn't really been changed much since the 1920s or so. The other was new, modern, had a parking lot serving a single fast-food restaurant. But that meant it had only a single restaurant, and that single restaurant just didn't make anywhere near as much money as that row of old shops.

This means nothing without knowing the underlying economic circumstances, Buffalo NY vs NYC and all that.
because intention defines how to judge an action. if somebody moves a knife into your body, then it can be a violent attack or a medical procedure. if you devide boys and girls into groups then it can be seen as sexism or a as a mindful act to ensure privacy and intimacy.

Author here. I would like to add some background info. I started to work on this book with a different aim than it ended up pursuing. I originally wanted to train people to become lead frontend developers, but the fist lesson grew into this whole material. I wanted to help answer the question: How to choose the right tools for a given project from a business perspective. I never found any comprehensive guide in this topic. I decided to tackle it and it became much wider in scope then I imagined. Nonetheless I believe it's a valuable topic to explore and this is my attempt on it. It's in early access still around 40% away from completion. I'm really interested in your thoughts!
That means they feel safe. It's an improvement in infrastructure.

The next step (Amsterdam, Copenhagen) is to ride around in black, with no lights, while drunk.
UK extradition requires generally that it also be a crime to commit in the UK.

It is dubious that soliciting government documents and publishing them would be illegal in the UK.
In the early Web days, there were some sites that would let you display an application locally (not just on a local network, like a lot of institutional X applications, but across the internet) if you gave it the proper DISPLAY value (and did the right xhost command locally).

We're getting closer to getting full-circle on this, but much better security this time around.
Having just recently got out of jail, I can tell you it is infinitely easy to kill yourself. You would not believe the ingenuity of some of those attempts and successes.

If the institution gets a hint that you are suicidal you will be placed in some sort of anti-suicide cell, which generally means that you are in solitary, you wear a paper or foam suit with no other clothing, you have no bed linen or any paper materials in your cell, and all your food comes on foam trays without any cutlery and has to be eaten with your fingers.
This pretty much mirrors my experience trying to package Python code for any kind of use. Jesus it's a mess with pretty much everyone resorting incompatible 3rd party tooling. I really really hope it gets better and we eventually reach a turning point.

> Firstly, TOML. This is something I’ve been repeating for quite some time already, so I’ll just quickly go over it. I like TOML, I think it’s a reasonable choice for markup. However, without a TOML parser in stdlib (and there’s no progress in providing one), this means that every single build system now depends on tomli, and involves a circular dependency. A few months back, every single build system depended on toml instead but that package became unmaintained. Does that make you feel confident?

This seems crazy bad. I had naively assumed that when the PEP was adopted it included the parser. I genuinely can't believe they adopted an ini type format without a native parser when Python already has ConfigParser.
Probably, there's a difference with respect to outcomes.

Nuclear war: scary, but nothing you can actually do anything about. So you have, in a way, permission to forget about it.

Climate change: everyone is told all the time that they have a personal responsibility to save the planet, even though there's actually not much they can do either. But people aren't giving themselves permission to forget about it, and people who point out that there's not much the average person can do are demonized.

I do agree that climate doomerism is a major impediment to progress of all kinds, partly because it redirects a lot of mental energy down rabbit holes that don't actually make people's lives better, only different or less worse (e.g. renewable power doesn't directly improve anyone's lives, and may make it worse if it reduces grid stability, so it doesn't feel like "progress" in the way that 60s sci-fi authors thought of it).
this one is not bad http://www.mas.ncl.ac.uk/~ndjw1/docs/djw-ctfp.pdf
Yes, because that is what's meant by the word in this context.
It's shameful that 3G wasn't designed to be supported forever, and be backwards compatible with 4G, 5G, 6G, etc.

Just like WiFi standards are (mostly) backwards compatible forever.

From a design perspective, all that's needed is a way to timeslice or frequency slice the new and old signals. Then the cost of supporting old 3G devices drops as fewer and fewer of them exist, and dynamic time and frequency allocation can give more and more to 4G/5G/etc.

The infrastructure cost of 3G is large, but that needn't be the case - there are opensource projects that can run all the computation for a whole 3G network, auth, encryption, etc. on a single PC.

If no one would ever hire "the real you," it seems pretty plausible to me that the real you is terrible. I get that that's something you can't control without faking it, but at least realize that this isn't true for everyone.

Inflation has been lower and more consistent over the last 39 years (and especially over the last 20 years) than any time in history. If you live in the United States and you're my age or younger, you haven't had to worry about inflation for your whole adult working life.

This doesn't make today's inflation acceptable, it just lets you know how much importance has been put on handling inflation up until now.
Why doesn’t academia fit the bill? They even have funny robes and hats.
Most job postings online are made through an applicant tracking system (ATS). Many of these also handle application submissions as well. These systems typically let the HR department filter through results that they don't want. Unless the striker is adding enough variety in the applications and when they are submitted, I think it would be pretty easy to match and discard the bogus ones.

Just stop using their products and don't hire anyone who started working there after the labor dispute happened. Get big companies to sign a pledge like a code of conduct that says they won't do business with scabs or companies using scabs. Use collective bargaining to hold their feet to the fire.
That's not how it works. But I'm sure you'd be defending paper ballots for voting forever as well. You're used to whatever works now, and I'd say that's like Luddites (except the Luddites were actually reacting to the economics of industrialization, meaning the machines were actually replacing the human labor).

Look around you, in the last 100 years we got the ability to print and copy our own documents, to send emails and to write on forums, to use VOIP encrypted end to end, all without the permission of the government. It's based on open protocols that route around friction. Is it so far fetched that autonomous networks technology can also help obviate the need to trust intermediaries like we trusted the Post Office, the Newspaper Printers, Ma Bell and so forth? Really?

We must quarantine the obese population.
The concept IS NOT to exclude women, the idea was to move to the most distant place possible, and to live a life far away from society, love, sex, etc. - something everybody should respect. These people living there dont want to harm anybody, and there's no reason to "go there an visit them" or to do any bizarre "feminist" actions (which happen quite often there).

Intention matters.

[repost as my comment was deleted by "woke" mod]
Isn’t one of the big problems with academia that you’re still heavily beholden to economic interests? See: all the talk on HN about research being about quantity over quality.

At least in the US, it’s also incredibly expensive, especially if you’re not part of target demographic whose spent some years optimizing to reduce that cost.
This is fantastic news at two levels:

* the actual code that will be made public (in particular enabling all sorts of things to be built on top of the Commissions policy / legal know-how and rules)

* the signalling, encouragement and precedent that this provides to other public sector instances that may have been sitting on the fence, unsure or even oblivious to open source
> From my personal experience the engineers I’ve worked with who are using Go seem to prefer writing SQL.

For what it's worth, a very popular Rust framework (also named SQLx lol) is designed around pure SQL tool.

Personally i think both languages have roughly the same split of SQL vs ORM people. However Rust gives devs way more tooling to to invent, to choose runtime cost, etc. So some types of libraries are just easier in a "complex" language imo.

Humans could most certainly survive an asteroid if the humans worked at the technology and industrial capacity to do so. Including technology and industrial capacity involved in redirecting asteroids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7zdeQ-Uw8k

(To redirect Chixculub would require a MUCH larger capability, probably on the order of 10 million tons in orbit, but that's possible with a fleet of large reusable rockets capable of getting the cost to orbit down to around $10/kg, or equivalent development of in-space resource utilization capacity.)
Ah. So you propose a centralized intermediary that everyone should trust. Gotcha.
How do you solve a problem like misinformation?
There are a few different issues. I think part of the problem is that it looks a bit busy but ok when the window is narrow. But at full width on my screen I get 5 columns, and nothing to signify what is important. You'd improve it massively by just setting a max width so it's never more than maybe two columns, maybe three at a stretch.

But secondly I think it's a "brand" issue even with two or three columns. You're selling a minimalist app, but the homepage one of the most cluttered I've seen (at my window width, anyway). To give you an idea of how busy it feels, take a look at this page [1] (yes, I'm exaggerating for effect).

I get that you want to showcase everything, but I think you need to really consider that the people to whom the simplicity appeals are not likely to respond to a cluttered homepage.

After reading your comment I went back in to the demo to have another look at the rivets up close. In the options menu, you can switch the viewport so that it shows you the triangles that make up object geometry under the "Nanite" system. Would be interested to hear from anyone with access to the demo and the right background what they make of this.

In gender segregated monasteries, how common was there of rules against inviting members of the opposite sex? As I understand it, there existed many different enclosed religious orders, both for men and women, and most Christian orders seems from a glance to be exclusive.

> being on the cloud means downtime is correlated with downtime of other services. That's usually a good thing.

A long time ago, I used to circulate snarky little emails at work.

One of them was responding to this very concept.

My managers were throwing out our working and mature UNIX servers (implementing DNS, Mail, and other services) in favour of NT.

The new system crashed a lot, we had some security breaches, but at least it was 'industry standard.'

Managements' response was that with the UNIX stuff we had no one to pin our outages on. Now we could blame Microsoft, and call their support line.

I circulated an email making fun of this justification, which promoted a fictional product called 'Blame Studio' which would help you map out the blame path for any of your products or services.

It would help to make sure that none of the blame ever landed on you, but rather was always redirected onto some other company.
You call it trivial, but the second sentence says, "Its usage has evolved significantly over time"; both can't be true. And the criticism section makes some good points: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility#Discussion_and_critici...

I also think there are a number of questionable assumptions behind it, and even your simple version of a supposedly trivial concept doesn't match the current official definition well.

So to me this isn't so much an obvious fact about the world as a synthetic cornerstone to a worldview. Sort of like Peano's construction of the integers, or the way theists talk about the things that are "pretty basic" to their religion. Those things feel trivial to their adherents, of course. But the rest of us can find sweeping dismissals like yours as very offputting.
IMHO these are entirely different skillsets, and a division-of-labor question rather than some sort of insurmountable generation gap. It's not like infrastructural know-how isn't relevant anymore; they just became CDN engineers or DevOps or senior scaling or reliability engineers. Their jobs are no easier than before, especially when you have to consider network traversals across layers of virtualized/containerized services across multiple data centers owned by disparate parties and maintained by different vendors.

Virtualization aside, we haven't abandoned basic infrastructure, but centralized it in the hands of a few huge, expert providers. IMO this is a good thing, and was both necessary and natural as the Web grew to offer more and more opportunities to more new professionals. In detaching HTML from HTTP from ARP, etc. we gave rise to entire new professions like full-time UX (which arguably the Old Guard was never good at beyond a small audience of academics and engineers), or various flavors of front-end developer, or serverless ecosystems.

The Web and associated technologies advanced so quickly it was impractical for a single IT or network department to know all of it anymore, and some of the newer webapps wouldn't have been possible if that same team or company had to also manage all of their own basic infrastructure like it was the 90s still.

Now you can be a front-end only shop, or a UX consultant, or a network engineer who never has to touch HTML, or, or, or... maybe big enterprises always had and could always have all of those in-house, but the division of labor has been a huge boon for small businesses and startups and nonprofits, who just don't have the same resources.

As someone who grew up configuring zmodem and running BBSes and having to (mis)configure NetBIOS all the time, I am so, so glad I never have to worry about OSI layers and such ever again. It's boring to me, and the experts at it are SO much better at it, might as well let them handle it. Especially when the cost of that outsourcing is often like <$100/mo. Well worth both the time and money... and sanity. The division of concerns lets you focus on the things you're either interested in and/or good at.

Our professionals haven't gotten worse. The stack has gotten much deeper.
Coal and oil formation would not occur due to lifeforms able to digest trees. It would be extraordinarily difficult to reset to those primordial conditions. I don't think an asteroid hit could do it.
Humans left a ridiculous amount of stone tools which last basically indefinitely in the fossil record (and unlike bone fossils, don't require super special conditions to preserve them). So I think we'd have enough evidence from modern artifacts made of similar types of materials. A car buried under sediment would rust all out, but you'd be left with a big car-shaped bunch of rust as well as chunks of pure metal which better resist corrosion, like stainless bits or the platinum catalytic converter, various bits of glass and ceramic in very artificial looking shapes, etc.

I actually think the housing situation in America is very directly linked to the teenage mental health crisis. From my personal experience, when I was under 18, my entire life revolved around school (which was 90% lectured by teacher and 10% socializing) and taking the bus home (the nearest other home was door-to-door ten minutes away), then being alone at home. The only other transit options was a bizarre after-school bus which took until 7 to get home or getting a ride from my parents.

In such an environment, it makes sense kids would feel isolated and alone. In my present life my work/home/play is much more balanced. I have multiple social areas in walking distance from my apartment, the activities during the 'working hours' is a mix of learning, meetings, and productive work. I know I'm a data point of one, but I can't imagine living in the suburbs and NOT being depressed.
