Optimistic note: It doesn't have to take 40 years.

One of the reasons it took so long in the Netherlands (ignoring the politics for a moment, which were not as smooth sailing as many assume) is because the Dutch were, literally and figuratively, paving the way—they had no other country to copy. Protected bike lanes, protected intersections, protected roundabouts, bike superhighways, best-practice bike parking and curb design and bike lane texture and lighting...it was all more or less invented by the Dutch, which took time.

But now that the Dutch have spent 40 years figuring out what works, other countries are free to copy all of it. (The Dutch have even translated their best-practice guide into English: https://crowplatform.com/)

Of course, construction takes time. But it doesn't have to take 40 years—you can accomplish a lot with political will and quick-build infrastructure (see: Paris [1]). I think most US cities (NYC, Boston, Portland) could start looking like the Netherlands in about 10-20 years as soon as they get serious about infrastructure.

A good éclair is certainly short in duration.
Well, there's always the part where trying to lock down existing devices would run afoul of various consumer protection and warranty laws. Sony already got sued and lost for locking down the PS3, and this would be a much higher profile case, especially once Asahi Linux gets to the point where we have a significant user base...

Apple could certainly choose to lock down future Mac iterations (though I don't think they will), but I think fears that they might retroactively lock down existing Macs are just unfounded and ignore the realities of the situation.

Of course people are free to buy or not buy machines for whatever reason; that's why I want everyone to be informed about the details. My beef is with those who disagree with this stance, and think people shouldn't buy these machines period because Apple is evil and those who buy their devices sheep, and anyone who thinks otherwise is mistaken, and there is no room for having different priorities when choosing hardware because Freedom™ is the only priority that matters. For whatever definition of Freedom™ they feel like using that day.
> First we make N complex values from polar coordinates that have a random angle 0 to 2pi and a random radius from 0 to 1.

This is what jumped out to me as suspicious. This looks just like a naive (and wrong) algorithm for generating random points in a circle. The simplest correct way to do this in the circle case is rejection sampling. In this context, that would mean: generate a random real and imaginary part to get z, and retry until |z| ≤ 1.
The article suggests that hashing (PBKDF2) is done client-side only, and that LastPass stores this hash directly. If true, this is very bad. However, LastPass claims that PBKDF2 is also used server side:

> We then take that value, and use a salt (a random string per user) and do another 100,000 rounds of hashing, and compare that to what is in our database.

https://blog.lastpass.com/2015/06/lastpass-security-notice/

While it's true that the client-side hashing means that LastPass never sees your plaintext password, the first hash effectively becomes the password. Then it's on LastPass to treat it as such, which they claim to do by hashing it again.

Edit: another link describing the use of PBKDF2:

Thanks for pointing it out, I can't edit the comments any more.
From my limited readings I think you are correct, Jung's technique seems very dissimilar to Freud's. AFAIU Jung emphasized that the terminology used unconsciously by the patient in first describing a dream contained most if not all material from which to derive potential theraputic benefit, and that dwelling on some deeper meaning or symbolism was generally a waste of time as then the patient (or therapist!) begins seeing what they want to see.
This is fascinating and would make for an excellent long-form article. Most people don't think of WWII as being a theater with particularly advanced electronic warfare going on.

Then you'll be happy to hear about spotlight: hit command+space for instant search, including file contents and the dictionary.

(I'm assuming you have missed this as well because the dictionary is usually the first and sometimes the only result)
because the colors of connections (and soon, cards) are totally customizable, a traditional dark mode doesn't really work. e.g. you'll set your mode to dark and open someone else's space with colors designed around light mode.

The workaround , (that works pretty well tbh) is to set your space background to black #000. I also just launched the ability to set that to be your default for all new spaces you create (https://twitter.com/KinopioClub/status/1476569968414277634)

I'm curious about which type of corkscrew you're using. I never heard of one breaking as you open a bottle (in France it's really common to have a Creuset-type corkscrew at home). I personally use the one on my Swiss army knife and I'm pretty confident it won't break. Maybe you'd want to get one of those, they're pretty cheap and can outlive you easily if you don't lose it.

edit: seems like you're using the lever ("the part that pushes against the bottle rim") to open the bottle. You may want to ditch it altogether: just hold the bottle between your legs and pull on the corkscrew to extract the cork.
What Is Node.js Used For?
Node.js is an open-source Javascript runtime environment and library for executing and running web applications outside a client's browser. It's based on V8, an engine developed by the Chromium Project for web browsers like Google Chrome and Edge.

Consider a scenario where a user interacts with a web application: he only interacts with the application's front-end, but there's a lot of work that goes behind the scenes.

Now, you know that there's a front-end, a server, and a database in a web application. The front-end is developed using Javascript and frameworks like Angular and React JS, while the server is built on Java, PHP, or Node.js, and the back-end database that stores the data usually consists of MySQL or MongoDB.

Let’s take a closer look at what Node.js is, what it is used for, and how it can be a possible solution for your web development project.

Yep. Ticket to Ride is a board game and its video game version on Steam is hundreds of megabytes, yet all it has is 2D images with some scaling and translation effects.
I read this long thread of complaints as "Back in my day, we were nerds that managed to find jobs that would pay us for it. Today, new hires are just here for the money." I.e. the complaint is that our field is now a "normal" industry and not an esoteric hobby that only attracts hobbyists, which is an unwelcome change to them.
I view it as more of a conceptual thing than a size issue. The 74kb is a symptom of the issue, which is that bad things can’t be deprecated because of backward compatibility.

If there is solution that removes the necessity of a 74kb package then I think we should embrace it.

I’m still fairly new to TypeScript but it’s quickly replacing Python as my daily driver for most things that aren’t back-end APIs.

> how do you drive your kids to school

You don't. Please just listen to yourself. Children are more than capable of locomotion. Why would you need to drive them anywhere?

> Is it anything like here in the UK where cities are increasingly inhospitable for working class people trying to raise families and only really work for students or those who are single and wealthy

Inhospitable? Do you mean unaffordable? That's not really the same thing. Them not being affordable is a separate problem. Houses in desirable cities have all been bought up by landlords decades ago at this point. It's essentially impossible to buy a house in many cities in the UK. You have to rent. I don't like it, but it has nothing to do with town planning.
Does QNX' GUI still exist as from the famed single floppy that booted a networked GUI desktop? I don't remember ever trying it, and don't know what it was like.
I was just about to write something like this.

I call this model the "MOBA interaction model", because in those games (which include League, Smite, and Dota) you must place do exactly this.

I, too, wish that more interfaces worked this way - but there's a fundamental problem, which is that many tools (including all Unix ones) are more efficient when you can input text, which necessitates the use of both hands on the keyboard.
What's less than idyllic in the Netherlands (and Amsterdam especially) is that your performance in the basis school basically determines whether you will go to a university and basis schools are ridiculously varied in quality (in some 10% of kids go to VWO, national average is ~40% and there are some where 90% of kids go to VWO. VWO is the highschool that prepares you for university). So, even though in Amsterdam outside the ring you can have a school 300m away, it's not necessarily the school you want to send your kids to.

see for example
https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2021/06/dutch-education-system...

EDIT: not to mention the housing prices. Apparently, even the teachers are priced out of living and raising a family in Amsterdam which is one of the reasons for the current teacher shortage.

Heirs benefit because intellectual property is inheritable in the same way as any other property, such as real estate. If I owned a valuable copyright, I'd certainly want my children to get it in the event of my death. (Though I still agree that copyrights endure longer than they should.)
I'm wondering if it would make sense to build an transformer for Dash dockets to the dictionary format.

How does !macro rid you of that portability issue? One way or another, you'd need to have a command that does that whole sequence of operations. If it's inline, I'd expect same portability problem (`&&` in Bash corresponds to something else in `.bat`).
Uphill both ways is unironically true, because of bridges. Especially Amstrdam-Rijnkanaal bridge.
I work in a psychology department, and one of the student thesis projects from this past year was using portable EEG headsets to attempt to determine whether figure skaters doing the same routine synchronize their neural patterns in some way.

Sadly, the equipment was not sophisticated enough to handle the situation yet (the headsets are pretty finicky, and using them while moving around like that, even though it's supposed to be part of their use case, just doesn't give good results yet), so their results were inconclusive. It's definitely an interesting direction, though.
I wonder if there’s some iterative algorithm that would work here.

When synthesizing audio from the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) sometimes you have unknown or noisy phase, and there’s an algorithm called Griffey-Lim that’s pretty common for finding the corresponding time-domain signal. You start in the STFT-domain and continually swap between time and STFT domains, each time fixing the STFT magnitudes. Eventually the phase tends to converge (but not sure if that’s guaranteed).

Maybe there’s something similar here where you keep swapping back and forth while applying the blue spectrum and uniform sample histogram constraints (or partially applying them in a gradient-descent fashion).

(Side note that there are other/better phase estimation algos for this problem, but Griffin-Lim is simple and relatively common)
> What about the older children makes them car-dependent

Nothing, certainly not in Amsterdam. Kids from 4~5 years on learn to ride a bike, from around 8~9 years old they can ride a bike to school by themselves.
Nice, it looks to be quite similar to the Java 8 date/time APIs (java.time.*), which are excellent. Looking forward to this!
Weren’t Japanese soldiers in WWII instructed to kill themselves instead of being captured to “preserve honor?” That doesn’t sound like the acceptance of failure to me.

It's fine when you're solely reading something. Your eyes gaze to what you understand. Just like a product manual that comes in 20 languages.

Where this approach falls flat is web domains. It requires you to actually type out both the language you know; along with a language you (likely) don't. Quick Google only 1.2% know both.

And as pointed out above, then figure out if those variations are separated by a dot, underscore or hyphen. Notwithstanding the domains get ridiculously long.

It's good we try to please everyone, but sometimes the politeness goes too far. Registering the domains in both French and English in this case should have been more than sufficient.

> kids from Monickendam and Volendam go to school in Amsterdam

As someone who just moved to the NL, that's really surprising to me: Do kids from Volendam really go to school in Amsterdam? Are there no schools in Volendam, or is it just kids whose parents want them to go to a "nicer" (or private) school or something?
That's a fantastic collection, thanks for doing that.
You can rent a car anytime you want to go on a longer excursion. It is far harder to rent walkability or access to amenities. You can’t rent “my children can walk to school and I can walk to pick them up for lunch” nearly as easily. Nor can you rent “it’s my buddy’s birthday and we wanted to go out on the town without a long car ride after”. Nor can you rent the physical benefits of movement to apply to your many car trips. Nor can you rent the climate benefits of the freedom to not take a car to do all of your errands.

A substantial portion of my childhood is 20-40 minute car rides punctuating every excursion, every new experience. Maybe it’s family time, but mostly I was on my Nintendo DS or GameBoy Color (or reading and getting carsick) and ignoring legs made restless from lack of use. Freedom has its price.

You might have a point. Mu frustration with the comment I was replying to was that it seems to be mostly about owning cars for owning cars sake (as if being able to park 3 cars was an actually desirable or reasonable thing to do) and promoting car ownership as the only possibility when kids turn 5 for reasons unknown.

Some of the most livable cities in the world have good public transport and low rates of car ownership (a fact that seems more and more correlated to said livability) and are good places to raise families.

Was about to buy this book, but from the reviews it seems the author is using very US centric sports (Baseball, football) to explain things. So if you are from outside the US and have no understanding of the sports you will struggle.
Thank you for sharing. What an amazing time to be alive and have access to all the world's information.
sadly the data is not currently end-to-end encrypted, it's really a difficult problem to end-to-end encrypt information that you're able to collaborate on. (I use current status quo best practices, like encrypting data in-flight, salting/hashing user passwords, and not recording sensitive/private information in logs). Thanks for asking this, I thought I'd made a help doc for it (on https://help.kinopio.club) but I will soon

The goal is not well-defined here. If the goal is to generate uniformly-distributed points in a circle then this algorithm is wrong, but it’s not clear that’s actually what they want.

Generating a spectrum with a given magnitude distribution and uniform phase distribution is pretty common (at least in audio).

I agree with your claim, but in my experience I encounter people who explain mood disorders as chemical imbalances mostly in a different context. Where I see it most often are good-intentioned people trying to argue against stigma and poor treatment of mental illness. The idea is that there is indeed a physical aspect to it and not just "all in your head", and hence should be treated with the same sympathy toward the patients as physical illnesses, and this is directed toward people holding a certain mindset that stigmatizes mental illness as an argument to not do so. Of course, this is a terribly insufficient characterization of mood disorders. Perhaps this characterization in a game of telephone eventually became misconstrued in the popular consciousness as essential to the disorders.

It still seems you're taking the density as a given, as the independent variable, and deriving some image of appropriate infrastructure based on that.

It might be the case that density is not independent at all, and indeed is changed when you change the type of infrastructure.
