> In July 1962, the US carried out the Starfish Prime test, exploding a 1.44 Mt (6.0 PJ) bomb 400 kilometres (250 mi; 1,300,000 ft) above the mid-Pacific Ocean. This demonstrated that the effects of a high-altitude nuclear explosion were much larger than had been previously calculated. Starfish Prime made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 1,445 kilometres (898 mi) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights, setting off numerous burglar alarms and damaging a microwave link.

I guess that's the smallest of your worries if you are hit by a nuke.

But what's decent transit? I don't think mass transit options like buses or trains fit that description anymore, at least not for everyday.

Cities ultimately have to be built for the people who live there. In Austin, I'm pretty sure voters are going to continue to demand better car-based infrastructure first and then bus, train, and bicycle infrastructure second.

Definitely agree with mixing commercial and residential though. I live in the suburbs but that's because my office is also out here.

To do anything with a request you are going to have a context which will function just like the stack of a thread. The only question is how many cache lines each takes.

Estimate the salaries of the people in the meeting and calculate the cost to the company. Fun to think about while listening the two managers argue about a detail while the rest 8 people wait politely.

Come to think of it, if you have 8 people in an hour long meeting, then the meeting will cost at least the lowest paid participant's daily salary (assuming 8 hour work day).
Yep that's basically why I'm slow. I got a bad rating and an effective 4.5% pay cut this year.
Implying people are happy to pay those things...? There's just as much drama about all of those things as there is for parking. Have you seen how much people complain every time registration fees, insurance costs or gas prices increase?

I've lost several people to cults over the years and I sympathize.

People (not yourself obviously) confuse empathy and sympathy with agreement and that's simply not the case of course.

It's tough when you see yourself so strongly in someone else and share experience with them and they are destroying their lives by putting their trust in liars.

This is painful to see even in severe cases when someone is sucked in due to their own self serving biases.

It's frustrating though. Wrong people are still wrong. It's not that hard to "ground propositions" on the issues most people deal with in their practical lives (once you've conceded that physical reality exists.)

Good luck and hang in there.
I would encourage you to figure out a clear plan for how you want to get this work published.

If you're hoping to go with an established technical publisher, they usually want to see a proposal rather than a finished draft. That gives them a chance to develop a shared vision, and then execute on that. It also lets you see if an established publisher agrees with you that this is a good idea for a book.

If you're planning to publish it independently, then developing a specific plan for how you'll share it would be a good thing to do now rather than later. You might look at Leanpub or Gumroad, or maybe as a technical person you're thinking of building a homegrown site; it's not unheard of.

Any of these will move you out of the unvalidated state of this work and into a state where you're forced to demonstrate to yourself and others, including your partner, that people want to see this book completed and are willing to pay for it.
This is absolutely true.

I can't count the number of times I've been on a flight where the captain said something like, "Well, we left a little late, but we'll make it up on the way there, and expect to arrive on time."

Good managers should be asking you what you need and removing organizational roadblocks to make that happen. They should be in a lot of meetings because they’re shielding you from meetings, filtering the important things and bringing them back to the team in some sort of regular format that isn’t a daily meeting.

Most managers are not good managers, however.
Your article says the exact opposite of what you claim. It says the PCR test accurately identified Covid vs. flu.

You are also misinterpreting what the term comorbidities means when you say that 75% of Covid deaths weren't due to Covid. Having those comorbidities means that you're more likely to die from Covid. By your logic, 75% of flu deaths aren't from flu every year, not just 2020-2021, leaving Covid still hundreds of times more lethal for children than the flu, which leaves them lucky to have had mitigations that contained flu and Covid deaths to such a degree.
Software quality has been increasing for as long as I've been in the business. However, the complexity, scale, and defect surface of software has been increasing at least as quickly. We've invested the systemic gains in quality to expand the capabilities of what software can reasonably do instead of polishing the software we wrote 20+ years ago.

This was the right choice in most cases. The software from a few decades ago was inferior in almost every way to the software we have now for solving the problems we need to solve today. Most software does not live long enough to be "high quality", or it lives so long that its original design assumptions become obsolete and therefore less useful.
The only thing important about a password manager is the amount of the bug bounty. In economic theory, it should be higher than the assets you protect with the password manager.
There's just so much evidence that extensive meetings are a detriment to software developers. Despite that, companies still hire developers, pay them a lot of money, then prevent them from actually doing quality work with constant meetings and interruptions. I don't get it. If you're a dev manager, you should be doing everything you can to protect your team from wasteful and pointless meetings. Any meeting, particularly standing ones, should require a very strong justification for its existence, because the impact on developer productivity is huge.

At my current job (and most previous ones), the default answer for any organizational problem seems to be "we'll just schedule another meeting" or "we'll open a new Slack channel, and invite everyone to it".
It's not my software. I'm trying it out and actually like it quite a lot for its capabilities. This code of conduct statement is kind of brash but you can see why when you browse their demo site at http://uncensored.citadel.org.

In Austin, motorcycles generally follow the same rules as cars. The two wheeled vehicles that seem to annoy most people are bicycles and for the reasons you state (except noise).
If you make a normal HTTP request first, the server can issue a standard HTTP cookie to the client. That cookie will then be included when the browser makes the websocket request.

However, websockets are not subject to the same-origin policy, so this exposes you to CSRF [1]. To protect against that, you should check the Origin header on the server side.

Cars are highly subsidized right now. I think it would be good for everyone, car lovers included, if all the externalities would be priced into car ownership. Noise, pollution, space taken up, and road damage should be priced into use of cars. Cars may be private property but they use ridiculous amounts of public space. Everyone can keep their car if they want, but the cost of car ownership should reflect the externalities. This could be done through tolls, annual registration fees based on noise, emissions, and usage or similar measures.
> I use Obsidian. They got me to become addicted to their software by having no fanfare or ceremony and allowing me to see what's great about it right away by trying it. It opens to a big download button. It doesn't ask for email. It's free forever for personal use.

I know other people are giving you shit for this, but I'm exactly the same way. Combined with Syncthing, other software (particularly paid stuff like this) doesn't look even remotely capable in comparison. People hydroplane over the essentials and then act surprised when their unicorn app isn't the runaway success it should have been.

Dear Notes Apps:

Everyone else has already done you, and better. If you want to compete (like, actually compete), you have to match them on features and be better somehow. Things like being "cloud-based" are not selling points; they're detriments when compared to your competitors.

> browsing with no JS at all,

It's about building a reliable product. I've witnessed tons of cases of websites broken due to Javascript. Sometimes they were broken in Firefox, other times they were broken only in some locales...

Often they were not broken forever, a bad release got pushed, and it took some times for the problems to be identified and addressed... but in the meanwhile, a specific part of their website was broken 100% of the time.

If you're building the new Google Maps, sure... knock yourself out with the fanciest Javascript you can find (but even then, I'd set a restrictive CSP, to avoid other script from interfering, and I'd pick something like Elm to make sure that runtime errors are minimized). But if you're building anything else, you should really try to keep it simple (even Gmail still has its plain HTML version)
A lot of rush hour traffic is asymmetric so increasing the number of cars headed on the reverse commute isn’t as bad as doubling them on the primary direction. I suspect new equilibriums would arise pretty naturally, with a mix of solutions depending on the circumstances.

This happened to me: I forgot a password (site was ThompsonReuters, so not a tiny company we-dont-know-better), and requested a restore via email. The mailed me the password in plain text: "Your password is CorrectHorseBatteryStaple, you can change it at url.com/change".

So imagine you use CorrectHorse, and some site stores passwords in plain text or weakly hashed, and then the DB is compromised (if they do badly the storage, chances are the DB is also weak), and boom, a cracker has your email, password, and the name of your first pet.

But if I use KeepPass, I don't care if my password leaks from that site or the other, or if they store in plain text. That password is only used in one site.
Simplification was a good thing. Plenty of factions in the early 20th century wanted simplification, or even full romanization. It's just that the CCP happened to win the civil war, so they're the ones who actually implemented it and now it's a cultural flash point. Honestly, it's not a big deal, unless you somehow think Hangul and Hiragana are abominations too.

> Its always decreasing because entropy builds up on longer projects. Its simply the fact of life, not particularly specific to coding.

I don’t know much physics, but this word-soup about entropy is mistaken, isn’t it? Because something something about closed systems vs open systems and putting energy into systems (eg, people working on the codebase)?

> The best you can do is to have automatic tests, lots of them, and make them work as intended (good tests are very hard to make).

I’m not sure what “best” means here, but there are other tools for improving software quality beyond tests, including and in particular formal methods.

> Those [tests] make refactoring possible and make specific quality guaranties.

What quality guarantees do tests make? That the build passes the test suite?

"Road tolls (particularly on unoccupied cars)"

Why should the number of occupants affect the amount of the toll?
True, and if we're honest, the result of this hard work is a negative. Nobody in commercial software development benefits from having multiple slightly different engines. It just means more testing and more bugs, differences in feature support, the like.

A friend of everyone is a friend of none. The word "respect" should signify something; respecting everyone by default makes the whole concept useless. So I tend to disagree about "don't be a jerk" and "respect is earned" being opposites.

Tolls of some type are probably the answer to shaping congestion. If my car is going to pick up my dry cleaning, I probably only care that I have it by tomorrow and don't care if my car picks it up at 10 am or 10 pm.
Ask HN: Do you care about sound money?
Bitcoiners care a lot about "sound money" (or "hard money"). They believe for a society to be sustainable, it is fundamental that its money is hard to debase.
Furthermore, they believe that only if a society uses hard money the prices in the market can accurately reflect the cost of production. Otherwise, the market will always end up with inefficiencies and worse quality.

Apart from all criticism with regards to bitcoin's energy consumption - do you care about sound money in that regard?
Removing off street parking transitions from an "everyone pays" model to a "user pays" model.

Under a user pays model, parking will be allocated to those who need it the most. Those whose need for parking is not as strong will make more use of alternatives. But when everybody pays there is no incentive to reduce individual consumption, as you will not personally be better off.

If you have office workers why must you allocate parking? Why can't some of those office workers choose to take the bus or a train, or cycle or walk? When the cost of driving is subsidised by everyone, there is no incentive to consider or develop these alternatives.
Normally sentences are taken in full to understand the meaning. From this the sentence is fine.
The high jacking problem was solved with locked cockpit doors, everything else is security theater.
This situation is different, yes, but I was highlighting how flexible the meaning of "coercion" is in similar case law, especially with a court determining twitters rights/obligations as to unmasking a user's info, in addition to the rights of the one being unmasked.

Separately there are plenty of cases exploring whether private parties are acting as an agent for the government for the purposes of determining constitutionality of various behaviors. It doesn't require actual agency or even an explicit or implicit directive. Often it's enough that that the party holds government-similar authority/power over the victim in the context of the scenario, and/or that the governments interests or incentives are sufficiently aligned such that the result is effectively indistinguishable.
Because when you live 75 miles from the nearest major city, in a township of a couple hundred, a bus line or really any sort of infrastructure for that matter isn't practical?

I think a lot of people forget how sparse much of the country really is.

Correct, hopefully Microsoft will provide an updated SSH client soon. It only requires recompiling OpenSSH with the correct flags.

Or with a middleware:

My bad I thought the opens were amateur and professionals. I.e. giving the amateurs a chance to take on the pros.
That's fair enough, although what about long distance roads?

And what if people use the roads without paying? It's not a great commercial enterprise to build most roads, there's no way to have competition, so you'd probably need a large organisation. But then you'd have every user pay the same? Or make the more wealthy pay more? What if this monopoly turned a bit evil, we'd want some way to control who was running it, maybe if we were all members, and voted on who should run it perhaps?

Is the public transit free? If not, then it’s friction hindering being there, adding baseline cost just to be there. Having added cost, I’m expecting commensurate payoff for being there. I’m apt to just peruse/enjoy if no cost to be there (and likely spend on a whim), but if it’s $10 just to be there then I’m expecting to spend >$100 on something - and I’m likely to balk at that, and not go at all.
> Now, the question is “why would I trust this?” to which I answer: I trust them to safeguard my passwords.

I trust 1Password more than LastPass simply because you _must_ pay for it. Freemium upsells are a dark pattern, and the temptation to monetize data on free users is much greater than paid.

"Coal is the second-largest source of electricity in Germany. As of 2020, around 24% of the electricity in the country is generated from coal. This was down from 2013, when coal made up about 45% of Germany's electricity production (19% from hard coal and 26% from lignite)." - Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Germany#:~:text=Coal...). )

But sadly it went slightly up from 24% to 24,5% in 2020 (don't have the source at hand right now for this second statistic).

It means, the FAA agrees with the GP. Safety is never convenient, it's always a balancing act. For example, simply pulling out your keys (or your phone) to lock or unlock your front door is more of a hassle than leaving it unlocked. But less of a hassle than getting robbed.
Yeah, markets are good for resource allocation, but how do you allocate resources properly without money or how do you allocate that money? Typically more money is allocated to those who are more productive (contribute more back to markets), so you have inequalities now. Those who own their means of production are typically more productive (when people don't own your means of production or don't partake in results according to their work quality, they are too wasteful and don't really care, I've seen it too many times myself). Capitalism (owning means of production) seems like the best idea, the problem is that currently we have too few capitalists (the one-precenters) and too many serfs (almost all workers). I think it's just because people are not good at organizing themselves. Those who can organize other people can amass more productivity and therefore have more money. How to combat this simple formula which leads to increasing inequalities - probably some regulations, but currently regulators are part of the problem.
