> "Ironically, Manhattan is one, if not the only, North American city that could handle the demand that would result from a ban on cars."

perhaps, but not obviously so. nyc's subway system is already maxed out at peak times, with an inability to increase service because of old signaling, trains, and tunnels. it costs $1B+ per mile and many years to lay new track because of corruption and nimbyism. buses could possibly provide enough additional capacity, but most manhattanites would rather cut off their nose than ride a bus. electric bikes/scooters have some marginal uptake, but that's also unlikely a mass solution there.
All I want in life is a Linux distro with a package repo full of meticulously reworked & reconfigured packages that make all the keyboard shortcuts across the entire system and every application be like and be as consistent as my old Macs.

I've been full-time Linux (Kubuntu) for a few years now, and I've hobbled together something that only irritates me to death about 30% of the time rather than the 100% of the time it used to before spending days and days fiddling with a bunch of different flavors of remapping at nearly every layer of the system.

If I'm ever fabulously wealthy, I already know I'm just going to finance an open source fastidious spiritual successor to MacOS 10.6

I'm going to give Pop_Os a try, but I suspect I'm going to run into the same problems I always do. The trouble with Linux as a desktop for me isn't weather it's beautiful or not. The problem is how disintegrated everything is and the thousand papercuts ways in which it works.

That said, I absolutely consider it basically an incredible miracle that the experience is as good as it is, frankly. So, I keep at it.
20 years for 1%, there is always hope I guess.
The dealership system is to provide assurance to the buyer that a corporate entity under the authority of the state's regulators and law enforcement officers but also available to sell parts, perform warranty service, and repair the vehicle.

A dealer being willing to sell a company's cars serves as some assurance that the car manufacturer is stable, reputable, etc.

This all came into being during the big automotive industry boom in the 20's when car frames/powertrains were made by manufacturers and then a "coachworks" company would put a body on that..and both powertrain and coachwork companies were often in business just long enough to get some cars out the door before customers discovered poor workmanship, assemblies not designed to be repaired, non-standard fastener sizes and so on. It was common for people to buy a car, drive it home several states away (in an age where there was no interstate highway system!) and discover that their car was falling apart.

Oh hey, what does Tesla have problems with? Poor parts availability, warranty issues, long waits for repairs...

I wish I were exaggerating when I say Tesla was telling Model S owners that water getting inside the main drive unit (which contains not just the electric motor but the motor's power electronics) because of a faulty seal on a speed sensor was the customer's fault because they drove the car in heavy rain.

There is little distinguishing Elon Musk from the shysters in the 1920's that all these pesky regulations were written to address.
From my point of view identity politics is just standard issue divide and conquer Marxism. This ideology is meant to split people and nations into oppressor and oppressed categories with the sole purpose to facilitate utopian revolution(s).
Isn't that a function of being an EV rather than an ICE? I'd expect an EV from any of the traditional automakers to also require comparatively little maintenance.

Now that Windows Vista is a thing, I think winning desktop user share from Windows will be easier than ever before. What else is the average Joe going to do with their DX10-less devices?
It's not about the dealership model, it's about taking quality seriously and not just slapping things together and pushing them out the door with minimal QC like a software startup in a tight market. It's clear by now that Elon thinks it's more important to ship more cars than to ship quality cars, and he may be correct, but he also has yet to prove that he is actually capable of the latter.
Why Cross-Platform Isn't Worth It
Do whatever makes you happy.

I personally abhor large frameworks as unnecessary, slow, and poor code quality. Writing code like that does not make me happy. I find this kind of code frequently becomes a low performance baseline by which people rate themselves and others.

I was interviewing a few months ago because I thought more money would make me happier. When I realized I was failing to perform in job interviews by people with almost no experience I was not happy.

At first I blamed myself as old and irrelevant. But it dawned on me that such job interviews lacked a certain level of maturity. They didn’t know how to assess candidates because they weren’t looking for engineers to solve problems. They were looking for tool users to use trendy tools on solved problems. Once that became clear to me I stopped all further interviews and gained a new appreciation for they I already have. My fear is that I would be trading a known quality for something far more immature, higher risk, and crappier benefits in the hopes of a salary increase.
Doesn't Google add a little note saying "2 links were removed due to DMCA claims, click here for details?" The absence of that note hints this is more than a boilerplate DMCA claim, though it also wouldn't surprise me if Duggan paid someone else for search engine optimization.

Just curious, you already replaced the Model 3 performance, how long did you own it, and what car did you replace it with (if any)?

(I'm still happy with mine, but will check if my brake pads are missing)
> I just want you to realize that you are in the extreme minority here

I'm in the minority because I've spent an unusual amount of time investing in my understanding of programming languages and their features, not because I have some fringe unjustified opinion.

> if I'm prototyping a project, looking for product-market fit, the last thing I want to care about is that my typeability is recursively enumerable or what-have-you.

With this comment you've lost your credibility in my mind. No one actually goes through this train of thought. I don't wonder about recursive enumerability whenever I start a project. I just use tools that help me build high quality software, such as principled static type systems.
I feel they are fairly early on in there “full stack” strategy. I believe they are moving quickly from launching MVPs for various products to expanding them as rapidly as they can. They are also purposely not trying to compete 1:1 with the incumbents with the “full stack”

“Workers” is brilliant, but the strategy with WASM on it is where I really think it is going to shine. The more languages and more of your stack that can be compelled to WASM the more you will be able to run on their edge. I truly believe WASM is the future in so many places other than in the browser.

I also feel the one part of their stack that’s missing is a transactional acid database (I hope for sql, but nosql would be fine). But it highlights a fault with the “edge first” strategy. Workers at the edge making multiple round trip requests to a central database is slower than running your app closer to the db. My wish is that they are developing some sort of edge replaced db that automatically launches read replicas at the same edge locations as where most of your worker load is. You probably have to have the main/master in a central location though. (I think Fly.io are doing something a little like this with Postgres)
Rose was talking about a feature of ASN.1 (MACROs) that was removed and replaced with the Information Object System (x.681, x.682, x.683).

I'm not that familiar with the ASN.1 MACRO facility, no, because, after all, it's gone and replaced. My understanding is that the problems Rose identified led to the MACRO system being replaced -- good!

So yeah, I don't really know what Rose was talking about, but I do know plenty about the x.681/682/683 specs since I've implemented a subset of them.
Neat! I've been thinking about this lately. If you had accurate CO2 and O2 measurements, you could calculate how many milligrams of fat you are burning during exercise.
Have you considered using Debian testing or even unstable, if you want newer packages?

I absolutely agree that manually installing software leads to a maintainability nightmare.

How does scoop solve the problem? Is it simply by moving faster (which one could do with the less stable Debian repos), or is it doing something like isolating all shared dependencies for every package (I know this is in style these days, but I'm not a huge fan of it).
There may be fundamentals at play related to their product offering/pricing too but pure growth companies with negative earnings have been getting routed with the announcement of Fed tapering and interest rate increases. That's the main thing driving Cloudflare's price down.
To be honest Tesla is not a luxury brand. The old roadster based on a lotus is far from the luxury world and while a model s or x are very premium, it’s not luxury level where being overpriced is a feature.
What's your background? What are you trying to learn?
They do have plenty of supply chain management etc. positions, but look at the categories instead of the numbers. Apple is a tech company and not a factory company despite contracting tens of thousands of factory workers to build their products. Hello Fresh is also a tech company despite hiring hundreds of people working on menus etc.
almost nobody uses debian on the desktop. If you're using tools like jq, fzf, ripgrep then you're smart enough to use cargo/flatpak/snap to get anything that you want. You can put it in a script and have it all ready for now and in the future if you like if you'd doing it on a lot of machines.

Mechanically speaking, bones can also only get you so far. You have to first get to them to take advantage (and you can't control if they'll actually show up or not), but... then you already got as far as the bones did, and are presumably roughly equally equipped. Usually only 1-2 items orthogonal to your current loadout are useful (e.g. you wished for good armor this game, but a good weapon in the bones game). Also, the bones failed, so on average you are probably better off than they were.

(That's assuming you don't do some degenerate play like get a bunch of loot, run back to level 2, and die purposefully. At that point you might as well savescum.)

In most games bones also represent a significant risk. The ghosts fight you, the items come cursed, etc.
It's all ML. Turtles all the way down.
I think it's important to note that what you're talking about is bitcoin, not the blockchain or even cryptocurrency. No aspect of cryptocurrency or blockchain plays any part at all in your story.

The reason why you could do what you did is because you participated in a young, unregulated market. Blockchain added nothing.
there is no market, other than the DoD (a literal monopsony). having a product for sale is for show, not a profitability move.
It's all about what you want in an OS. MacOS for example is very much one size fits all. For someone like me who wants to tune the nuts and bolts of the system is frustrating.

Windows is better at this and Linux of course shines depending on which distro you pick. I consider each distro its own OS. For the same reason gnome doesn't work for me (and thus PopOS doesn't) but KDE and i3 do.

But other people have other priorities. And the software you want to run heavily factors into it.
Quick tip, you can do this much easier by shifting the Volt into neutral and then braking. In D and L, the volt actually produces very significant braking via regen via the brake pedal, so much so that you'll have to really brake hard to get any friction braking action. In neutral, regen is turned off and all brake pedal travel is actually physical brakes. You'll be able to clean off your brakes once in a while with just casual easy braking if done in N. Even if you keep your same procedure you use today, you'll get more effect doing it in N.
The three-week waiting period to install a break pad once the issue was identified is a parts shortage. It hearkens back to Soviet auto manufacturers.

For obvious reasons, Soviet central planners wanted to get cars into the hands of consumers. For obvious reasons, Soviet auto manufacturers were driven to get as many cars into the hands of consumers as they could.

The obvious outcome of this incentive was that the manufacturers had zero interest in shipping any spare/repair parts for any of their vehicles. Why ship parts, when you can ship cars instead? Nobody at the politburo is going to give you a pat on the head for supporting aftermarket auto repairs...
> As a counterpoint to "throwaway cars", when they don't need repairs they do seem to be able to do a million miles or more with comparitively little maintenance.

It was a reference to an old post of mine (https://www.sevarg.net/2016/03/05/is-tesla-building-throwawa...) - and, I actually agree with you that they do have million-mile grade drivetrains.

It's just that the rest of the car is poor quality. That's fine if it's cheap and easy to fix, but it's not. You can't get the parts, you can't install the parts if you can get them because they have to be paired with the car, and, in general, they're like a lot of modern ICEs that fall apart around a running drivetrain. Except worse, because they're luxury cars and you can't even do the repair work yourself.

Have you tried Arch or Arch-based distribution? I am using Manjaro, and I feel that 'pamac' is a good package manager in terms of keeping up with package update. Arch and its derivatives mainly use 2 repositories, Arch Official Repository and Arch User Repository (AUR). Sometimes, a distribution also has its own repository. AUR is what blown me away a a former Ubuntu user. Because, it often has the package I want to install, even if has no official build for Arch.
It is on my todo to create a todo list.

My father once went to the book store, to buy an agenda to write down things he forgot. When he came home, turns out he left the agenda at the bookstore :)
Shit can happen (this is a bad one though), how it is managed makes quite a difference.

9 years ago my father bought a new Mercedes B-class.
Having been a truck driver for decades, he knows how to look at details. When he got the car he discovered front wheels brakes where different, on each wheel there was a different type of brake(I don't exactly recall the issue). Obviously he didn't accepted the car, Mercedes gave him a temporary car and repaired the new B-class at no cost.
I don't think this has ever been settled in a court case, but Google is arguably rehosting the content, especially given their search cache of pages is publicly accessible.

I wouldn't blame them for allowing DMCA takedowns to be on the cautious side. It's shitty if they don't give a way to counterclaim though, I've never been the recipient of a Google DMCA so I didn't know.
I find this comment disheartening. Not only because it diminishes the polished nature of today's landscape of open source options from IoT through to the data center, but the genuine disregard for anything that doesn't run niche commercial software.

Beyond that many of us enjoy not running operating systems attached to overpriced hardware and/or organizations that legitimately spy on their users through their "OS".

No, it’s actually a higher risk from COVID in every age group and gender, tracked all the way down to as narrow as 2-year age group buckets.

The risk of COVID myocarditis is higher everywhere.

> Neither side can make a complete blanket statement. It depends on age and which vaccine you take.

It varies, but COVID is worse in every bracket still. By a significant margin.

These things are tracked. Unless you’re arguing for some sort of conspiratorial coverup, it’s just not true.
I wouldn't honestly put HTTP on that list. Latest RFC is from 2014 and even the 1.1 was from 1997.
Permissionless has nothing to do with blockchain. As an example if you want to exchange currency without blockchain you can do that by buying gift cards and exchanging them for cash on any number of online markets.

Blockchain provides integrity guarantees given a number of malicious participants. That's all it provides over any other ACID database.
Another opinion: Pop_OS is fine and perfectly useable. I have used it for 3 years without any big issues. Sure pop_os store hangs occasionally but it times out and fixes itself and I haven't seen it doing even that in 22.10. It's fine folks, give it a try.

SRV support seems to have been (unfairly, I think) rejected by HTTP vendors and standard bodies. There is a new standard, however, in the works:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-svcb-...

https://github.com/MikeBishop/dns-alt-svc

This one might have a larger chance of being accepted, since it provides some things which HTTP standard bodies and HTTP client vendors want. It doesn’t (at this stage, anyway) provide for the load-balancing “weight” field from the SRV record, but it does support MX-style priority numbers, and also port numbers. Very interesting, to say the least.
Yes, it works now. Note that since you have no packages, you can omit include_package_data = True from setup.cfg, and since you no longer have the src/ directory, you can omit the options.packages.find section from setup.cfg.
Arch or Fedora. Even Ubuntu will likely be more up to date. Some people use Debian Sid, which is kinda like a rolling distro, if you squint.

But seriously: Arch-based or Fedora is what you want. They’re up to date.
I did not buy my car from the dealership lot. They had to put in an order and I waited 3 months for it to be finally available for me to pick up. I could track everything happening with the car. The car was sitting in the container port for an usually long time (2 weeks) so when I asked my dealer he tracked it down and said there was curb damage to the wheel and they had to wait for replacement.

Now, I don't expect this kind of service from Tesla but my point is it doesn't matter if you are able to test drive it or not from the dealership and inspect for defects; the manufacturer should have a rigorous quality process that doesn't let these kind of slip ups to happen and if it does happen make it right by the customer.
> Yes, but a lemon is a car that is unreliable due to intermittent issues

Actually it's a term of some precision, and that's not it. "Lemon" laws define the problem as a car with an inherent defect that can't be fixed by the manufacturer or dealer within some reasonable amount of time (often "three attempts", depending on statute). The purpose of the law is that consumers shouldn't be on the hook for expensive but faulty products.

This isn't a lemon by any of those laws. They fixed the brakes and the car is fine now. It's fine to make pronouncements about Quality Culture or whatever, but lemon statutes aren't really at issue here.
Additionally, it was done in southern Brazil where worms are endemic. Being infected with worms is a known comorbidity of Covid-19. Treating the worms with Ivermectin has been shown to have a small improvement in chance of death from Covid-19. This doesn't apply to the US, of course.

A faster shutter speed would not produce motion blur that looks similar to how human vision perceives it in reality. A higher framerate without changing the shutter speed (i.e. 48 FPS with a 1/48s shutter duration) produces a smoother result with the same motion blur, but may still be rejected by audiences because "that's not how movies should look".

CFS claims that it's manageable, although I don't know enough to evaluate that claim. It's also not clear from this quote if the once/twice per year is referring to full replacement of the vacuum vessel, or maybe just to inspection or replacement of a subset of components.
